What role are you in and how much do you earn. Do you enjoy it?

[TidyHelper]

Simple question what role/sector do you work in and what is your current salary. How much do you enjoy what you do.

Intrigued to see the pattern.

I work on tackling violence against women and girls and earn £55k I love my job I wish there wasn't a need for it

My main job is head of a sales division I love it and earn around 67k per year I enjoy it and actually I get enough time per week to crack on with my fiction novels that I also write

I work in user-centred design in government and earn about £60k. I love it.

You're asking for information but you've given us none yourself.

Why is that OP?

sorry forgot!

manager of a creative agency - 95k

Safeguarding at an NHS GP. 30k pro rata

joint ceo. £150k basic & equity etc.

Credit controller on £25k. Hate it; it’s mind numbing, poorly paid and I get no joy from simply making a company wealthier

My job title is ambiguous, I have a degree, masters and professional chartership and 25years experience in a STEM subject career where management and senior roles are dominated by men. I have never direct reports and am fairly free to be on own boss which counts for a lot IMO. £63k
enjoyment levels vary depending on my current project but for the industry and level of responsibilities i
think I’m fairly well off.

I lead a BD team in professional services. I earn £74k in a low cost of living area.
I've never said I found what I do enjoyable, but I work hybrid, get to use my brain, have a lot of autonomy, work with generally decent people, and I don't find it particularly difficult or stressful.
I have ups and downs with it, but like the salary point I'm at and am grateful to have such a good job in a bad economy.

What’s BD? Business development?

Company Director, C-suite.
£180-250k plus equity.

I've loved my job but it is now a very toxic industry. I'm nearly 60 and men the same age don't want to work with women. They can be silver foxes, we're disposable. I've had three awful contracts. I'm retiring this year.

HR Manager for a charity. FTE is £37600 ish, but I work 3 days a week. I love it.

Compliance - 200k + cash and stock bonuses.

I don’t mind it all. I work less hours than I did earlier in my career when I was earning far less. I feel I’m now benefiting from previous efforts.

£38k Manager of a team in Social Services.
I enjoy my job as I love the fact we are helping Families.
Its not well paid for what I do and responsibility I have but its very rewarding.

Private sector company that gets government contracts. Currently working in admin for DWP. Minimum wage. Don't particularly like the work itself, but I WFH FT, the company I work for is pretty good and I like my colleagues.

Lawyer (public sector) - 98k, really enjoy it a lot. Sometimes feel a bit inadequate that I won't ever be on big six figures like my private sector counterparts but I have ADHD and an inability to cope with physical control of my body (ie can't tolerate sitting at a desk in an open plan office for 14 hours a day then forced eating at client Dos etc etc) so it was never really a choice for me.

Ops manager in education, 27k
Thd salaries mentioned here are shocking me, I visit food banks as a single parent its hard. I hate my job.

I'm a theatre stage manager, self-employed (almost everyone in the theatre sector is, we generally work on specific shows for a fixed amount of time).

The minimum rates set by Equity are only just above NMW; according to last year's tax return I earned 35k before tax and NI, but as I'm self-employed I get no sick pay, maternity etc. Most employers pay holiday pay, but quite often we have to fight for it. Some contribute to a pension, but at the minimum permissable rate.

Assistant headteacher in a tough school in a socially deprived area. Safeguarding and Attendance. £63.8K. I absolutely LOVE my job. Its crazy demanding but so worthwhile. I wouldn’t want to do anything else.

I work in advertising in a strategy role on £30k. It's dull, doesn't pay well and I have very little autonomy. I find it very unfulfilling but don't know where to go from here.

A niche area of accounting - £80k plus a substantial pension contribution. I do interesting stuff and the role is fairly flexible, so I mainly enjoy it. But it can also be intense and when the shit hits the fan it's my job to fix it.

Forensic accountant top four, director £200k generous pension provision & benefits. Interesting & varied , needs focus & took great effort to qualify & progress.

Public sector PR - generally enjoy it but it’s got a lot more frustrating over the last few years (change of management). I can live with it for the convenience and hybrid but no opportunity to progress from here. £55k a year managing a lovely team, educated to masters level.

@Zinnialime might be something for you along the lines of my role although we create more ourselves than an agency would.

In-house lawyer. £120k plus commission of £20-£40k.
