Between the ages of 28-32 what do you earn outside London?

[User200001]

Just wondering as I feel like times are tough and maybe should be on more

I work three days a week as an accountant and I earn between £32000 and £35000 per year. I live in Yorkshire.

30 years old, £54k pa in current role, the finishing tax year will be about £50k and will be my worst year (just) since graduating.

£45k as consulting engineer in the South West.

£28k, term time only. Secondary pastoral leader.

Rainflower is that 35k just on the 3 days (ie would be higher if working 5 days)

£36.5k as a teacher

40k social work manager

Civil Service £30k

£45k including bonus.
Basic of £40k.

DH is £35k no bonus.

Ages 30&32

Just turned 27. 47.5k in a city just under 1 hour on train north of London.

You don't say what your job is, surely thats more important than your age. The salaries quoted are mostly well above average for all ages.

As Barbara said it will very much depend on the profession/industry. If you give us an idea you might get some more targeted responses that might be more useful to you.

Average pay in the UK is around 27k per annum, I was earning the equivalent of 35k per year but it was many moons ago.

Everyone that has replied looks to be in professional roles.

It’s actually irrelevant unless you are considering training and are wondering what salaries are like in specific fields.

My friend was earning £400 per day twenty years ago, she was an advertising producer and made a couple of very famous adverts but that is not the norm. My sister at the same time was a carer on NMW.

Look at your strengths and be honest and look at your weaknesses then investigate career options. Plus are you willing to move around for work.

(If it helps I’m a lawyer outside London and earn around £70k plus bonus).

What do you earn OP and what does the career progression look like?

29 SW 30k, due to get a promotion & pay rise in next 3 months to 35-38k.

DH is 35 and on 75k.

45k last year working 3 1/2 days term time only contract (university)
Low for my type of work but it means I have all of the holidays off with my girl
Aged 30

I work part time, term time only, and make £6k per year.

Working the same job but full time and all year round i'd be on £16.5k.

People putting their salaries on the thread isn't meaningful? Do you have a degree, post-graduate qualifications? Did you leave school with no GCSEs above D? How long have you been in your role? What is it? What sector and what region of the UK? How in-demand are your skills?

For.all we know you're on a zero hour contract in a pub. Or you're an AI specialist for a Cambridge tech company...

32, live in Devon and earn 25k. Used to earn 33k in London but changed careers & wages are lower here. I'd really like to be earning in the 30s again soon though

Or you could be Tom Hiddleston...

32, live in a deprived area of dorset, £26000 pa, 2.5 days a week. Feel very lucky tbh. I don't think it is as much about what you earn as to what you can afford and what you value? A job you love on which you can get by could be preferable to one which you dislike but pays more? Put childcare, tax, student loan repayments, loss of child benefit (+/- tax credits if you qualify)into the equation and you could easily be paid a higher salary and end up with less to 'spend' at the end of the month?

I live in west Wales, newly qualified MH nurse. I have an undergrad degree is MH Nursing and an undergrad degree in Psychology. I earn £23k. However my salary will increase regularly with band increments and there’s quite a lot of career progression in my area.

I used to work in the city in an unqualified role financial role for a big bank - was earning £40k at 22. Still I would rather be doing what I loved.

32 and £40k

23k in marketing in the south west. It's enough, just about.
