    23 yr old female

    Recruitment Resourcer for nationwide automotive recruitment agency.

    £15k - should get extra bonus' a month but thats a whole other thing!

    I work longer than I probably should, hours are 8am - 6pm with 1 hour lunch Mon-Fri

    I am the only girl in a office filled of cocky, crude lads and repetitive music I cant stand in the background.

    Today is a bad day and I'm stroppy as hell so I'm not enjoying being here at all :(

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    26, nearly 27 (eek)... freelance TV researcher for big broadcaster. If I can work out a full year I earn about £30k, no real benefits except I work 10-6 so miss the rush hour ;)

    Trouble is generally can expect to be out of work for a month or so a year... sometimes more. So have to save save save to make sure I can afford to be unemployed!

    Placement student for an NHS PCT Finance dept

    (Back at uni in september wahey!)

    Currently earn a little more than £13,000 (before tax) for the year to do a job which would probably pay double if I was qualified/had the experience.

    (Big plus points being I have done a lot of jobs so far which senior managers would normally do meaning getting lots of experience!)

    Benefits: NHS discounts give me discount at quite a few places incl restaurants, car insurances etc
    28 Days + bank holidays off!

    Edit: Forgot to say, I'm a 20 year old female =)

    This is a very nice thread.

    I have a BA yet have only been working in call centres for the last few years. - I need to aim higher. but have kids to think about
    previous job £14,500 37.5hrs (telecommunications - back office work )
    current job £12500 30hrs (only recently was 11800 than about 12k than 12200) (bank)
    Get bonuses ( can be anywhere from £50 - £400 )no idea nor do I understand how it is worked out - too much formulas for me to care about but keeps management and their managment happy.
    about 24 days holiday (bank holidays must be booked out of you annual allowance as its is calculated in). you can buy extra holidays up to a certain amount and money is deducted from your wage - more like unpaid leave
    Flexi working is the hardest thing to get - quite a few parents leave because of that.
    the pension scheme is supposed to be good
    can get discounts of products but it is only about 6% if that.
    sick pay covered but best not to be sick or simply just come in sick. after so many sickness bouts you get a talking to about how your absenses affect company figures etc etc

    thats the gyst of it
    would love to be a home owner. hate private renting
    scared of debt. almost debt free.
