How much do you earn?

theoretica

Interesting, and a bit depressing, that the first ways he though of distinguising himself are on sex and age. I would hope that qualification level and subject or grade would have occurred as highly relevant. Also whether the job is in London or not.

Whilst money isn't everything OP - you earn 13.5k more than me - how is that for feel good factor.
I'm 3 years older
Work in a pretty 'ethical' industry toward the customers as about the only good thing going for the company.

Lets put a festive spin on it
Do I believe my company will be fair in Christmas work rota: No
Does payday fall early for Christmas at our place: No
(couldn't believe it when I heard that but yes it's true)
Do we all work to the same set targets: No.. But we all work for the same pay..

Is this all there is to life?

More importantly if you know how to start liking job again, instead of the creating the bog standard how much do you earn I'm all ears.

At the moment, not much, but enjoying a temporary role. Last week I had someone cry on me, and I dealt with it. It made me ponder how we value work - what price a human being in some distress, and my ability to help.

About to interview for a role which will earn about 6 times as much, and stand a good chance of getting it. It will be the most I've ever earned, but have no permanence, no prospects and will involve living away from home (again).

Is one 'worth' more than the other... well, I'm currently thinking about that!

I used to earn a good salary (more than 30k) in London but gave it all up and now earn enough to live on with a bit left over after all my outgoings so that's fine. I paid off my mortgage a couple of years ago and without commuting costs as well, I could afford to take a large drop salary.

Quality of life and my health is more important to me now.

33k plus travel allowance, I take home £2400 to £2500 a month.
I spend a few nights away each month around the UK, which I dislike along with the travelling. But the rest of the time I work from home.
I feel lucky as apart from the occasional call from a rude abrasive director I pretty much run my own week.
I'm a regional manager for a web based company.

This is the best salary I've earnt since I left school 25 years ago, I'm educated to postgraduate level, which I achieved in my 30s. I value work life balance and happiness far more than salary and in a couple of years when my personal loan is paid off I may go for demotion and free myself of the stress of middle management and managing people full stop.

Do most people earn the same salary for years ?
Ive been working for 3 years and I've changed jobs twice but I have pay rise in both but I was just wondering at roughy average at what age does it stop if you don't get to the level of "director" of "head of" or "managerial" roles??? I know it's different for everyone but just nosey as to when has it leveled off for some people?

I've increased my salary by 246% within 7 years (4 jobs) and am now expecting for it to level out apart from the odd across-the-board payrise. I'm already in a Senior managerial position within the business so next step would be quite big and will take a bit of time.

Without making that step it depends if you can specialise in your role - in IT for example you don't need to be a manager to earn good money.
As a receptionist you could become PA one day.

If there is no specialist path then it's probably levelling off quite early without going into management.

I had my first pay rise in 5 years as the minimum wage has caught up with my wage.
