What salary are you on?

[alazuli]

My other thread about negotiating job offers got me thinking. I'm so terribly British I don't really know what even my friends are on. But I'm interested to find out what the average on here is and if mine fits in. So here's my salary history.

First job: £16k
Second job: £12k, left on £19k (took a pay cut for a more interesting job)
Third job: Started on £25k, leaving on £35k
New job: £38k

I'm in the media.

What's yours?

£40k ish as a scientist in the NHS. Top of my payband and don't want to move to get a promotion, so that's what I'll be on for a good while yet.

Started on £15k as a graduate in 2001 and have worked up from there.

IT Support Engineer. 45K +5K on call(we re-negotiated it to 10K). Nice fintech company. I hope I can stay there longerm because in my job having decent management makes all the difference. I could look for better salaried job but I love the flexibility we have and 35 hour week.
On call varies. We are paid per week not hour worked so it's tough some weeks (up 3 tomes on any night to respond to a call and fix the issue) and others is are a breeze.
You need several years of relevant experience to earn this salary. This job suits my personality so I am not looking to change it.

£64k senior leader at secondary school level, but I left to be a housewife to my oh-so-demanding DH (who incidentally earns approx ten times as much as I did, so a no brainier really)

This thread makes me feel like a failure ive never earnt over 20k or over 15 for that matter

26k for 4 days a week, university.

Opportunity for promotion but unlikely to happen while my children are young as we earn enough to get by without any additional responsibilities or stress.

First graduate job £5,550, progressed to low six figures 14 years later.

Left it all behind for a life balance and retrained, now approaching £40k in a local job with a minuscule commute. My job is massively flexible, I have to pinch myself sometimes. Feel like I could happily do it for 20 years which will take me to late 60s.

I'm in IT but I am not a 'pure' technologist. Salary currently £58k and bonus was 5k but expecting big jump in January based on this years success

I have no degree

11 years post qualifying experience, about to start new job full time, managing 20 staff. £18k ! Not a well paid industry.

45k for 28 hour week

I'm on £40k, 40 year old software engineer. I graduated in life sciences and started as a lab scientist in forensics on £11k in 2000. stayed with the same public sector organisation until 2011, they retrained me as a software engineer. I left on £25k, got a job for a family business on £28k. my salary has gone up to £40k in that last five years. I think secrecy about salaries is a bad thing, it allows companies to underpay people.

Self employed. 95k a year. Great work / life a balance: I know what I have is rare and I feel very lucky

Just over 17k in a customer service role. Overtime and occasional bonuses as well, plus discount so can't complain too much.

1st job out of uni - £16k
2nd job - £23k
3rd job -£26k, passed my exams got a rise to £35k
4th job - £45k
5th job - £55k, left on £70k
Now FTE £65k, but I'm part time and do whatever suits me.

Legal aid solicitor, trained on 14k age 22, qualified on 21k age 24, now 7 years qualified and my full time salary is 32k but I work flexibly on 4 days a week equivalent. Love my job.

@Twogunslingers, yep. At a US firm.

£80k - patent attorney.

Graduate job @ 23 - 22k

New career @ 27 - 27k
28 - 29k
29 - 33k
30 - 44k FTE (80%)
31 - 52k FTE (80%)
If I stay put it will increase rapidly but there's a price you pay and that's sanity and family life

6k, 15k, 25k, 40k, 9k.

2012 from uni £16k
2013 £25k
2014 £30k
3months mat leave.
2016 £40k
Work in digital marketing in Pharma.

Third £14500 - £16000
Fourth £19800
Retrained as a nurse. Still in preceptorship and my salary for the first year will be around £27k.

I'm really bad at making money :(. I got a good degree, but I've never earned a graduate salary. Worked in the book industry for years, earning lousy money. Had years working PT or as SAHM (and looking after son with SNs). Recently went back to work in the publishing industry and am earning just £15,000 pa full time. New employee (literally half my age) is earning £3000 pa more than me for doing the same job. I have asked for a pay rise, but nothing's happened. Company is notoriously mean.

20 - 11,000
21 - 13,000
22 - 17,500
24 - 22,000 + bonus
25 - 32,000 + bonus
26 - 40,000 + bonus
30 - 0 + a year of travelling that I'll never be able to do ever again. Fingers crossed I renter the market at a similar level to when I left!

£13k for two days a week teaching. After childcare though I come out with very little!

£65k; head of finance in Kent. Could earn much more in London but wouldn't want the commute any more.

Band 7 occupational therapist but not quite at the top of my pay scale, so about £38k.
