How Much Do You Earn? #2

[SmokeySapphires]

£65k HR Business Partner

Can I be nosey and ask where in the country? (Or just north/south/east/ big city or small town?) Relative of mine does that and I've always wondered what he earns haha

 

[If i told you …]

I'm on 38,500 as a Marketing Exec and I'm 32. Started on 23,000 3 years ago so chuffed with my pay rises!

Do you mind me asking what sector do you work in?
My daughter is currently on £30 k She is 30 and works in the legal sector

That’s up to you.

What's up to me?

 

[AutumnSpring]

I do, yesss! Will it be doing internal payroll for your company, or do you work for a payroll provider? If internal, does your company use a payroll provider (eg an accounting firm or specialist company such as ADP?)

I work for an employer of record so do a mix of internal and external payroll.

It’s internal payroll for about 1000 people, the company has grown a lot in the last few years and there is only one person doing payroll at the moment. I honestly don’t know red payroll provider I’d have to check. Would that make a difference?

I do, started off 8 years ago as payroll admin, 22k now payroll and benefits manager 35k no formal payroll training just learned on the job, I love it

Thank you! Would you say that’s the ceiling of that role or does it have potential to grow beyond that?

i am in digital marketing, if you are wanting to go back. I would learn all the new things that have changed since you left. Go round small agencies , lots of remote positions available. Lots of people on Linkedin are hiring, throw some messages out. I’m down south and quite A few jobs going.

What kind of marketing are you in? Im in digital marketing, have around 3 years experience. It’s tough but find the right place for you and your love it!

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

Yorkshire, but I think that’s top end as I’ve been in HR a long time. You see some HRBP roles advertised from £40k so it’s a wide range

On the advice front, if he works from home for even one day in the tax year make sure he claims his wfh tax rebate. But, yeah, pension, pension, pension. I think you also said further down he’s got a Help to Buy ISA? He should consider converting it to a LISA - the maximum purchase price is much more generous.

The downside with the LISA is the £450k limit and penalty for withdrawing not for a house or your pension. I know most people outside London will be buying under that limit but if you start in a profession where salaries grow quickly and particularly if you meet someone else in the same line of work then it's entirely feasible you could end up buying a first house for more than that. Help to Buy ISAs generally have better interest rates than many savings accounts, are tax free and you can withdraw the money for whatever you want. So even if you don't get the bonus I can see the advantages in some circumstances.

£18500 police office staff, 27 days holiday, bank holidays off, overtime available if there is work. Left uni 2 years ago.

I'll be on this for the next 1-2 years, after that I am hoping to try and move up. Ideally I would like to be on £25,000-£30,00o, however I've found the pay quite low in the police therefore this may take a while. I do have a uni degree that I don't need for the role so I do wonder sometimes if it was worth going but I am hoping it will increase my chances of career progression.

Intrigued as you say police office staff… I looked at jobs for police as admin and couldn’t find anything… pay is shockingly low.. is it a stressful job ?

 

[Louby@21]

NHS band 4 with 20 years experience. Will be on 25k with the pay rise.

 

[Holidaybobs]

Apart from footballers, the only role I could think of earning that would be a banker. Those guys earn huge amounts.

Yes bankers, finance, tech, construction is huge amounts and property.

Nah, it doesn’t make a difference really - obviously if you have a provider then you “just” have to quality check what they send back to you. So, tbh, sometimes it’s easier just to run the payroll yourself.

If you enjoy payroll but want a change of pace eventually you should definitely look at providers - ADP, Safeguard Global, CloudPay, Deel, Remote, Oyster, Papaya, Velocity Global - if you want more project-y stuff.

44k (basic pay so not including overtime I sometimes do)
I work as an assistant manager/senior practitioner in adult social services

 

[Rodneytrotter]

£31k I'm a primary school teacher. But I'm going part time, so this will drop but it will be worth it

 

[tagliatelle]

Son's just been accepted on to a grad scheme with a global bank and will be starting on a salary of £40k +£5k starting bonus ( aged 22!) he's got a 2:1 BSc in Geography and Environmental Science ....I have 30+ yrs nursing experience and don't get paid that much

[Somerset girl]

I'm on £84k full time. Am fairly senior in the NHS management.

 

[Homebird44]

Im also curious about peoples debt. My mum often says ‘those people who have everything are normally in mountains of debt’
I wonder if this is true??

Depends what you'd class as debt? I have a small loan, only £2000 and about £1000 across two credit cards. The mortgage is £180k. My husband has a credit card as we often run out of money for his train fares. He'll get this through work next year and pay it back through his wages. We have nothing compared to others and probably loads compared to others too.

75k, I’m an Actuary.

I’m starting as a trainee actuary for my graduate job this year, on 31k which I was pretty happy with (no exam exemptions and not London). Would you say this is about right for starting? How long did it take you to get up to 75K? Being nosey…

 

[Randy77]

It's funny that most people don't want to discuss salary. It's always so taboo! Maybe because it can come across as bragging?

I haven't said what I earn on here, even though it's anonymous. It doesn't feel right for me to say it.

Maybe its at work where they share salaries. I've got friends in HR and always saying how the blue collar workers always share what they earn on a monthly basis!.

What kind of finance manager is your bf? My husband is on £58k for a telco and struggling to figure out next steps.

He's works In property. I know what you mean. He's quite content at the moment but looking to move slightly sideways to commercial as it's quite a good skill to have to be able to bridge the gap between finance and commercial in property.
