Has anyone had any experience of non-compete clauses in contracts? Vaguely related to the thread as I’m looking to move for a pay rise!

Hey yeah got laid off last thursday and I started sending out my cv right when I got home. I'm in a specific region of my country, should I just send out my cv to remote positions in other regions? Hopefully now that I have some sort of post internship experience someone will hire me again

yeah hundred percent , we’re very down south and we have people all over the country working for us and we’re only a small agency.

digital here too! Mainly social media but also helping with event management if and when needed. I’m not trained or educated in marketing at all - I’m just good at social media so I feel like I’m way behind everyone in my office. I think I just need to feel more confident in speaking up when I struggle really.

I went into it with no experience at all. Just trained on the job. There are loads google skill shop learning tools you can do. Try these and im
Sure Your confidence will grow

Damn, knew I should have become a chartered surveyor when I was thinking about it!

I want to retrain in to Tech. Maybe coding? Not sure what the best way to do it is. Any advice?

Have you done any coding or have a maths-related degree? There is more of a shortage in soft skills roles e.g. project manager. If you can get exposure to and training on cloud platforms, that can pay very well. It’s saturated on the technical front and would take a long time to get to a standard if you’ve no experience.

Currently on 48k as an actuarial consultant with 2 years experience (kind of, I'm concerned with taking processes and improving them, rather than developing them), though that's without my yearly bonus and other bits.

Find it mostly boring, want to do something else. I've realised money isn't so much of interest to me, just need enough to exist on, and 48k is far more than I need rn.

£73000 - work in Procurement. I love it as the work is varied and in ‘normal’ times there was a lot of face to face interaction with suppliers/contractors.

How do you get into procurement/supply chains? It's something I'm vaguely interested in (I like logistics of most kinds) but I have no idea how you would go about getting into it.

I’ve just finished uni & my first “proper” job is 27k a year. My job is site management

What do site managers do on the day to day? Is it interesting?

I recommend train signalling to anyone looking for a new career- no qualifications needed just transferable non-technical skills! The training is tough and the job itself can be too but it’s rewarding work and you can make a really good salary (I earn 2.5x my basic wage once Sundays, night payment, flexi payment etc is added on).

Ooh will have to look into this, sounds like useful work. I like doing useful work.

I’m on £75k plus around £15k annual bonus. Good perks inc 26 weeks fully paid mat leave, private medical etc. commute into central London to be in the office 2-3 times a week. I’m 34 years old

What is your role?

 

[Zenchick101]

This is pretty much it, tbh. It’s like the Premier League (UK’s top soccer league): there was much less money for players’ salaries and transfer fees between clubs until Sky (cable provider) bought the rights to show games. Now there’s money everywhere and players are paid astronomical salaries.

I would be happier if the NHS was better funded and there were fewer contracts for politicians’ friends, alas.

Interesting on cost of living: I feel like fruit and vegetables are comparatively much more expensive in the US.




It completely depends on where you live. We moved from south to the Midlands and our childcare bill reduced by 30% overnight. In my opinion it also depends on things like your company’s parental leave policies.

I live in a big city in canada

 

[Hbirdette]

Amazing! Similar to what I'm doing, except I don't manage doctors diaries. Although, in my role, I also dealing with patients calls, emails and appointments too. And the usual receptionist office duties.

Your role would be a higher level. It sounds like you have more responsibilities.

I hope you don't mind me asking, how much do you earn? PA sounds fun.

I don’t mind at all! I’m band 4 nhs so 24-26.5k-ish depending on time working for the trust.
I must admit, I have a lot more responsibility than I ever thought but it’s nice cause I do love my job. I want to progress but it’s less dealing with patients and more dealing with management but we shall see!

I was in marketing.. then got fired from my first job after a month and a half.. lol off topic but any advice?

I’m currently starting my career in marketing and didn’t realise how high stress it was. I’m scraping through and no one has had any problems (just had my 3 month review and nothing was brought up) but I could also do with advice on how to survive lol

In-house Recruiter £52k

 

[Mermer89]

Work in healthcare- can earn £400 a day doing something called insourcing (NHS waiting lists). And then currently bank at other hospitals for £22 or £25 an hour. However I hate the atmosphere, toxic and having ADHD makes it difficult. I have two degrees and have done a lot of extra training but ADHD holds me back. Don’t know what else to do, spends my days scrolling Indeed.

 

[Lovegossip]

I work in share dealing on the settlements side, on 29500

 

[storminaDcup]

I work in a junior-mid sales roles in Tech, and my base is £60k and my on target bonus qis £40k. I don’t always hit my target, so my average annual salary is around £90k.

I was an EA for many years in London, and my last role was for £85k and the hours were decent. I found the tech sector pays the best for these types of roles.

How did you get into tech? Do you get to wfh?

 

[Zenchick101]

up for a 4 month marketing contract, which would bring in almost 8K

My husband works for a private facilities company but is based in a central government building. All security checks passed and manages the building contractors etc. I personally don't think his wage is that good for his role. If somebody is in a similar role, can you please advise what you'd expect to get paid. Thank you.

 

[Mermer89]

55k plus bonus. I work for a Pharma company. I could earn more by actually trying but my job is a piece of piss that takes me a couple of hours a day and that suits me for now.

Any nurses looking for a change - would suggest looking at research nursing, then it's a fairly easy jump to industry.

I’m a theatre practitioner (hcpc registered) with a biomed degree but can’t seem to find the right position that lets me! Desperate to get out of healthcare

 

[Former_Antelopee]

What do people think on this situation. Should someone who has been working at a company get more pay than someone who hasn’t been there as long? For example someone being there 4 years should they get more over someone there 1 year? Similar amounts of experience otherwise. Or should everyone be paid the same regardless of time at the company?
I always thought it’s fair for people there for longer getting paid a bit more but my manager doesn’t believe it should be a thing.

Have you done any coding or have a maths-related degree? There is more of a shortage in soft skills roles e.g. project manager.

My degree had statistics modules and project management of a research study but it wasn't a maths degree. Ah that's a shame.

Really had to know what retrain in, in my 30s.

 

[JOHN1967]

yes own business would be . We have 2 and earn a decent amount, so I know that’s possible , again The wording made me think job like working for someone else.a nd other on her have put for example 50k plus big bonuses.

Actually feel a bit jumped on here, someone said they earned 24k a month and were called out and no one said oh your wrong to anyone, yet I say it about 70k a month and I’m picked apart.

Oops, did not mean to pick on you, my step sister in law is in the states, she used to work for a company most of us use, and she was on about 800/900k including bonus and shares .
