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...

you have a much better pension though. not sure how that's affected or what you'd lose from not doing as many years in the NHS as you otherwise would.

How far out of touch do you have to be to write something like this? Many professionals, including those in health-related professions, have starting salaries much lower than £50k, and £50k may not be reached until someone has worked in their role for many years. Is that not self-evident from reading this thread?

Senior marketer in Tech

I think this is one of the most sensible suggestions for the OP.

Most professional jobs will take 3 to 5 years minimum, possibly more to get to £50k also needing to do the hard initial training, qualifications, exams etc unless you have directly relevant experience and qualifications not just 'transferable skills'.

So asking for examples of jobs where people earn this amount isn't the way to look at it unless you do want to drop back to graduate trainee level (and salary) and take a completely different path.

I earn around £55k in a role that's specialist H&S and disaster planning but I'm SME level so it would take 5-10 years to get where I am as a minimum.

Fascinating thread! Maybe going into the private sector could help with the salary progression OP!

Some seriously unhelpful responses on here.
'NHS', 'IT', 'Civil Service'
What do you do exactly?!

No worries. I would add that I know AstraZeneca are about to embark on a massive global expansion, they’re aiming to double in size over the next 10 years so are going to have a big recruiting drive. If you fancied a total change of scenery you could look at their overseas positions too.
