Fab thread! Everyone I know is always so secretive about salaries and I'm a curious monkey

I am 28, Application Support Engineer in Scotland for a small-medium software company.
Salary 32K including shift allowance.
27 days + bank holidays. Bupa health. Pension.

Pro's: Great team, manager just let's me get on with it, exposure to new technologies, pension ok (company gives 7% if I pay 5%), decent salary for what I do.

Con's: No real career progression possible as every employee above my level just seems to stay in the job forever. Family business, yay for nepotism. Shifts are unsociable though very well paid.

I figured I'll stay here for another year or two; learn everything I can, finish my OU degree in computing and move onward and upwards. I get headhunted quite a lot so shouldn't be too difficult.

DH is on 41k, sr software engineer, works for a fantastic company with lots of perks. All in all we are very lucky! :j

A few people commented on why people with decent salaries are on the MSE forums. For me; I hate paying more for stuff than I need to. Guess it's true what they say about the Dutch However following advice from this site; I have managed to cut about 2K a year in places that do not affect my day to day life (like home insurance). That is 2K that can go towards my mortgage / holiday etc..

Question for all the self employed and off shore workers posting; what do you do when you are not working? I'd go absolutely stir crazy if I was without work for 6 months!

Remembered I posted in this thread and due to new job was curious to see how much can change in a year and a half.

New job is still an Application support engineer, but now for a large financial institution.
Salary: 38K (with no shifts!! for the first time in years, bring on the 9-5)
Benefits more or less the same
10-20% bonus

Biggest advantage is no shifts + great maternity leave so I can get preggers at some point.

DH got a promotion, now technical manager and on 52K

life is good :rotfl:

Congratulations.

I am a senior manager in a technology consulting firm, and I have never seen anything close to a six figure package for a middle manager, especially one outside of London. The company must be thriving

Depends where you work. I work in a FTSE100 company and middle-management stretches from quite junior management (£30k salary) all the way up to Head Ofs and general management that can earn upwards of £120k before they are called senior management (or junior execs).

I consider myself middle management and earn around £60k including bonus and car allowance aged 30. Work from home in the north east.
