I would not call £15k a good salary, sorry....
But it probably depends on where you live and what your outgoings are.
If you live in London, have a family etc. it's NOT.
If you are single (or can rely on your partner's earning) and live somewhere cheaper than it might be ok I suppose.

The average full time salary, including overtime, is £25428 in UK and £32604 in London (lower for women, higher for men, as usual....).

yes it does depend on where you live. here in the west midlands 15k is a very good wage but i do live in a very high unemployment area so employers don't have to pay high salaries. personally i only know one person locally who has a paid job now, everyone else is unemployed.

23, financial consultant and chartered accountant (London)
- £40k + tiny bonus
- Pros: 31 days holiday, flexi 7 hour days, small perks e.g. Blackberry, entertaining allowance, interest free loans
- Cons: No 'real' benefits, increasing uncertainty over job security, initial 3 years of soul-destroying training contract hell i.e. exams exams exams

Much better deal then most chartered accountant students who work for smaller companies and we still have to go through all those exams...

What is 'real' benefit?? At 23 earning £40k and being chartered for life I think is benefit for life... From here it will only get better!!
