Looking at people's earnings makes me realise I need to really sort my life out!

I'm 27, work in theatre in London. £6.10 p/h - works out about £9,000 a year.
Cons: Late nights, have to work over Christmas (Christmas eve/boxing day + more) and bank holidays and Sundays for no extra pay. Low pay.
Pros: Get the daytime free, can be flexible, get to eat the leftover sweets people leave on the floor (LOL), discount tickets

Over 5 years there, no promotions/rises available. Oh dear.
I'm also self employed but the £500 odd I make a year is barely worth mentioning really!

Financial services projects/strategy teamleader

Base 59k+car allowance/bonus take it to around 70k
Perks include health/dental cover, 9% pension contribution, some shopping discounts, life assurance etc

Cons at the moment are 4k a year season ticket and 3.5 hours a day commute - dearly hoping to change that (switch offices to the local one) by end of the year.

This is in the SE, and I'm 38. History goes

2001: 24k (customer relations mgr for internet startup, went bust after a year)
2002: part-time ~12k (for the tiny company, bit lost and directionless for a couple years)
2004: 22k (Barclays bottom-rung analyst)
2006: 45k (contractor for current financial co - lucked into salary as two companies wanted me in the same 24 hours and agency managed a bidding war over me!)
2007: 47k (turned permanent, plus another 8k+ of bonus/car allowance)
2012: 59k (couple of job changes over the 5 years)

Base 59k

Seems fairly low for a projects teamleader in FS

Haven't been perm for a while but last time I was my base was higher than that as a PM and I know my team leader was on circa £20k more

I am a contractor in the financial services/ insurance space and aged 33. As such I do more or less whatever a client wants as long as they'll pay my day rate. Typically I hover somewhere between a business consultant and a project manager. I have always been fortunate with my clients/ contracts and never been with a client for less than 12 months.

It's because my team are pretty low level project roles, so I'm a hybrid PM/people-leader and only at an equivalent grade to an individual regular PM. Not far from a step up and another 10k-ish though! And working in a permanent stable structure I rarely do more than 40-45 hours in a week (commute notwithstanding currently) so it's not as pressured as some.
