Currently keeping my eye out for other jobs, and it’s surprising how salaries are pretty much the same as they were for the same jobs pre-covid 5-6 years ago. Despite inflation, cost of living rises and the minimum wage going up.
Minimum wage is now almost £24k for a 37.5hr a week job, and yet I’m seeing adverts wanting people with a few years experience, a degree and a host of skills paying not much more than that.
Of course I am not knocking minimum wage jobs, it’s more that the jobs that used to pay a fair bit more than minimum wage have not really increased their salaries despite minimum wage increases.
This is in the south east too, and seems to be an issue more in the private sector.
