To wonder if my wage is good?

[JPArkes90]

So, I was just wondering what people generally earn part time?

I work 24 hours per week and earn 20k per year (1600pm) would you be happy with this?

Depends what the work is?

No i absolutely wouldn’t

why? because i am a professional, years of exams to get qualifications, years of experience and currently on substantially more than that

But… if i was not in that position and, let’s say a school leaver with no qualifications for example, the i imagine i’d be jubilant

the devil is in the detail

Not anywhere near enough detail!

Agree with the above, it's a full time (37.5 hours) gross salary of 31.25k a year. I wouldn't be happy with this after the professional exams I've done, the job itself etc. But I also know people who do jobs that will unfortunately never reach that level of pay so they'd be pleased. All depends on what you do.

What newspaper is this article for?

No I wouldn't.

I work 20-24 hrs and I bring home 3.5- 5.5k month. But it’s a specialised craft.
your wage is good is use to work 37.5 hrs for nhs for 1400 month.

No I wouldn’t be happy with it. I need to take home more than that to keep up our standard of living. My DHs salary pays our bills, mortgage, nursery and food, my salary pays for our days out, holidays, savings and anything else we want. I work 3 days a week and earn £50k for that, take home around £3k a month.

I wouldn't be happy with this at all because I’m ambitious and career driven. I think if I worked 24 hours a week in my current job I’d earn about £40k.

are YOU happy with it? Thats the only question that matters! Does it meet YOUR need?

I am looking to retrain once the kids are back at school, DH earns 75k and I took this job as it fits around the kids and I do not need childcare etc.

Well of course not on MN - the home of the six figure salary

Funnily enough many teachers doctors and other professionals are ambitious and driven but there is a ceiling on their earnings.
What pretentious nobendery

So then what’s the problem? If it works for you why are you asking people on the internet?

( that said my DH earns loads more than that but I still couldn’t go PT so you’re very privileged in that!)

All of my teacher friends earn similar amounts to me so I’m not sure what your beef is.

the OP asked if I’d be ok with her salary and I said no. I answered to OP so have no idea what your problem is! ( other than jealousy or boredom!)

How do you expect people to answer that without knowing what your job is?

You have time in there for friends?

That's very good for part time work

Wow some of your salaries are amazing! are you in London?

24 hours work per week for £1600? Damn right that's good.

But you're on MN so anything below 10k a month is a pittance

Pointless thread.

I earn full time equivalent of 25k for a stress free fulfilling role. Given social care earn less than me and NQ teachers, social workers and nurses don't earn much more than me I consider myself lucky.

I earn around 24 thousand a year working 12 hours a week.

Your post doesn't give enough detail to say whether or not this is good money. What do you do for work? What's the industry norm? What qualifications and experience do you have?

Minimum wage is now (from April) £22,279 FTE
You earn £31,250 FTE

Like others have said, more info needed. If unskilled work then it's ok.

I only earn about £1700/month for a full time role so yes I would be happy. And most people I know are also on around this so 🤷‍♀️

Personally, I'd be very happy. I earn just over 17k for 36.5 hours a week.
