How long did it take you to get there and what line of work are you in?

What did it take ? Right place right time

London property market -
Passive income

And career wise bloody hard hard work and still not paid what I should be - which I think is because of my race as my white peers are paid more for same

80k, 36 years old, I’m a lawyer. Got to 50k at 30, then 2 pay increases to where I am now.

70k - head of comms (last year )

Then to take it to 80+k my property income at the same age

LBOCS2 · 14/11/2023 21:07

22-32 - £23-£49k
33-38 - £50-75k.

I took two maternity leaves before I was 32 and then worked part time from 33 until the start of this year. I work in property services.

LBOCS2 · 14/11/2023 21:08

Actually, I was still 37 when I got £75k. But it was the month before!

Horriblewoman · 14/11/2023 21:09

At 27 I was earning 30
30 earning 50
34 earning 65
35 earning 75 + 20%ish bonus
36 earning 90 + 20ish bonus

31 - 36 I’ve been with the same company but have moved roles a couple of times.

Doggymummar · 14/11/2023 21:09

Financial sales.

OhpoorMe · 14/11/2023 21:10

0-£50k between 25-29
£50k-£75k 29-32

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 14/11/2023 21:12

I am a lawyer

I was self employed for many years (23-39) so salary equivalent hard to calculate - doing criminal law so not esp high earnings - but then went in house in the civil service.

From age 39- 43 earned 50-55k, then went up to 76 just before I turned 44, now aged 45 and it’s just under 80k

Going in house at 50k was a bit of a calculated salary drop though

EverybodyJumpsuit · 14/11/2023 21:13

Not me but DH has been 70+ since early 30s. Law. At firm, then in house which is paid less but still a lot. Starting to move into executive roles, mind boggling pay scales.

Panda89 · 14/11/2023 21:18

I’m a lead Business Analyst for a tech/IT firm.
I reached 50k at age 30 when moving to my current employer, then 75k at age 33 in my latest promotion.
I’m 34 now.

motherofawhirlwind · 14/11/2023 21:20

I'd hit the equivalent of £50k by 26/27 but was working interim so not working all year around.

£75k at 45. Had had my family, took much lower roles, had time off and all sorts in the meantime Grin

All in HR

@Bizkwit was in the public sector now private sector tech sales

ABCXYZ17 · 14/11/2023 21:23

Taken me 20 years to get to 80K. Big promotion from 56K where I’d been for about 6 years. Started on 17K. Education field but no longer working in schools or teaching. I’m 44.

StamppotAndGravy · 14/11/2023 21:24

30k by 26, 50k by 31, 70k at 33, but I moved a lot internationally to get that and live in a relatively high wage area. For context, my 2 bed suburban flat has gone up from 170k to 380k over the same time period, so 70k isn't that much anymore

Eigen · 14/11/2023 21:25

85k first year out of PhD
100k second year
150k+ third year
quant finance.

MsCactus · 14/11/2023 21:26

I earn £75k (well thereabouts, £70k basic and £5k+ bonus)

I work in senior role in media, managing a team of 15.

My salary trajectory was:
FIRST grad job
Age 21-26 earned £21-33k

NEW JOB
Age 26-28 earned £40k
Age 29 earned £50k
Age 30-31 earned £65k

NEW JOB
Currently 31, earn 70k+5k bonus

Not sure how helpful that is, but my partner works in a law firm in the city, same age and on £105k. It's unusual to earn what I earn in my industry at my age, because the salaries are generally v low - whereas I know a lot of lawyers on six figures

cheddercherry · 14/11/2023 21:26

OH gone from 55k (aged 30) to 85k (32) just a case of right time, right new job offer. He works in tech.
