Women on £50k plus

[ImJustaGirlnotaPrincess]

What do you do? I'm getting jaded working in the NHS and know I have many skills that I could use elsewhere...

Metallurgist (PhD) - (when I earned around £50-70k) now head of Engineering. Seen plenty of £50k project roles in a variety of industries though x

Ditto

Project manager.

Solicitor

The issue with lots of these jobs is that you can't transfer skills as you need professional qualifications. Would you retrain? I did at 36 and have never looked back. I earn considerably more than 50k, but sat many exams to get here. Barriers to entry put up your value.

Yes I think your probably right last couple of years. Are the ‘chief’ titles as recent (other than CEO) - I’m not sure, I’ve changed industries and they were not a thing in my previous industries. Head of HR, remanded as Chief People Officer for example?

Wow! Loads of replies already! I’ll have a read through. I’m not a nurse btw!

NHS 3 days b8 in inner london (35-40k pro rata salary for the 3 days
Equivalent 1 day private work per week remote (pays significantly more)

My current take home is roughly 70k for the 4 days, I probably could fit a bit more in my 1 day private and I take the other day off for myself / childcare (I have young children)

@ImJustaGirlnotaPrincess I work for the nhs and am on over 50k, so it is possible! Do you want to progress in your career or are you looking for something else?

Director in specialist property services.

There's a bit of a recruitment crisis in our sector (not surprisingly, for various industry related reasons) so anyone with 5 years plus experience could pull in £50k. It's very London centric though.

Biomedical scientist now in management

Professor

HR

Go go Dancer

IT.

Assurance for a major government supplier

Risk Manager in Banking

Chartered accountant

Telecoms, quite niche but PMs do well

I'm on over £50k but have gone as high as I want to go in the NHS. I'm thinking of doing something else but I'm just into my 50's so think I may have left it too late. I have a quality management background too and would probably relish an auditor role, or something like that. Oh, also do a lot of training but not so keen on that side!

Orthotist band 7- have a line up of being a specialist 8a by next year

Love to travel (especially London) so wondering 🤔 if I could kill two birds with one stone.

Maybe I'm having a mid-life crisis! I know we have good job security but some of my friends seem to get a lot more for doing a lot less!

Coding and trading. Previously NHS (unrelated) I might add.

Engineer in a project management team.
