So good to hear people loving their jobs. Would much rather be with someone that earnt less but enjoyed their jobs rather than earning lots and being miserable!

I work in I.T (dull) but the perks and people are lovely and more than makke up for it.
Salary £41k for 4 days
28 days hols
Just taken final salary away as outsourced but I now contribute 5% and they fund 15%
Bupa or AXA??
Very flexible working conditions

Self employed whatever anyone wants to pay (budget) for a project, mainly web development & design, sell say a 4-5 page website for around £300.

What I like to call competitive rates, I don't like charging the earth for what I do.

Latest one is worth around £350 aiming for around £30,000 income a year. Depends on what you think's dull I love what I do, like being creative and finishing off projects and feeling proud of what I have done, prefer pushing the limits and learning new things as I go through a piece of work.

Pnutter

28, Mining Engineer in Switzerland
GBP 62K before tax, GBP 46k after tax, pension etc.
25 days holiday + 3 home working days/month + overtime off in lieu
Pension scheme
VAT refunds on purchases outside Switzerland as its outside the EU

Stunningly beautiful country, and very well organised. Tax is low (8 - 13%), cost of living highest in the world but still manage to put about 2k/month in a savings account. Been here for a year, paid for a 10k wedding + saved about 14k for a mortgage deposit... Another perk is SUVA, accident insurance. It's obligatory if you work here and covers any medical costs arising from an accident. Broke a tooth earlier this year, had it fixed with 2 days and never saw the bill.

Downside: it's full of the biggest knobs imaginable. People here simply do not engage with you if you are foreign, my only friends here are non-Swiss and they all have the same problems! Despite the perks I will be out of here as soon as I have saved enough money to set myself up nicely back in the UK. Switzerland is just not a nice place to live.

ED Nurse.
Point 2, Band 5 scale.
£11.55p/hr. (Due an increment 19/12/2013... although it will probably be like 20pence)
37.5hrs a week, over 4/5 days because of the way they have started to split our shifts
27 days annual leave + 8 public holidays
Saturday 1+1/3
Sunday 1+2/3
Night duty - not exactly sure, but it is damn hard to fill in for timesheets.
O/T no extra

I have no say whether I work night or day, we rotate into a month of nights every 2 months, sometimes less, sometimes for longer.
I could start at 0730, 0900, 1000, 1100, 1200, 1400, 1600, 1930 - depending on the whim of my ward manager.
2 half hour unpaid breaks throughout the day, but if the department is busy, they are not guarenteed.

Pension scheme... don't know if it is worth it.

I work an extra 60hrs a month overtime, in other EDs, or wards. It is for the same trust, paid out of the same office and account, signed by the same man, paid at the same time... but considered a second job, and thus I get like 40% tax!! It is ridiculous.

I make being a nurse so appealing don't I??

No, which annoys me greatly. I am a nurse and I feel privileged, we have great holidays, our jobs are secure and our wages are overall good (hitting 40% tax clearly shows that), in this climate we are v lucky. Also you get an increment AND a pay rise.
You knew it was unsocial hours and internal rotation before you applied.
If your not happy, go work somewhere else. You have after all three choices,
1. Leave
2. Spend the next X moaning about it
3. Change your attitude and look at the positives

Enjoy time off in the week, the perks of unsocial hours payment and your role. The "whim" of the ward sister is about making patients safe.

I suspect most people in other roles would be very grateful for the option to do OT, which is after all your choice.

Interesting that you can put so much aside despite the cost of living! And interesting to hear your take on things - I considered Switzerland but never did make the leap.







Quantity surveyor - wow! What quals do you need to do that? Good £££ & perks!
