it’s like chandler bing in friends lol! But all his senior colleagues are paid so well too, and they all WFH…only go into the office once every fortnight I think this career path has very good progression as well. Eventually he wants to have his own consultancy

I'm trying to get back into marketing with no luck so far, right now I'm in customer service 12k a year
My husband earns 55k and I earn 21k. We're paying bills but don't have much left. Haven't had a holiday for years. Helped the kids through uni. Living in the South East is expensive.
I hope no one in here is affected by the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank. Lots of my employer’s customers bank with them so we’ll see.

son is on a 2 year grad IT programme with U.K. bank and just had a pay rise of £25k after 6 months in job....now on £44k aged 23! ( meanwhile I've got 37 years in NHS and top band 6 and earn less than him!)
I work in Sales for a large insurance firm although not in insurance, in one of the investment arms. Basic salary is £78,500 + £7,850 car allowance and just got a bonus of £19k.
Yes, it’s a great line of work. They get frequent pay rises, and his work are very understanding regarding flexibility with office hours etc
he still has to go into the office every few weeks so we can’t move too far away right now, but Bali sounds incredible
He's coming back to UK for 3 months ( so he can pop into office and sort out visa ) and then heading back to Bali! Luckily they both love travel and adventure and have already traveled extensively in SEAsia and S America ...daughter works for a U.K. based fashion company who has offices/ factories in Bali hence why she's out there and has a work visa - they have a very comfortable life out thereYes, it’s a great line of work.

they're hoping to stay there for another couple of years and have just started renting a gorgeous 2 bed place with a pool - we're planning on visiting later in the year , so looking forward to seeing them and Bali
oh to be young again!
All these young people earning mega bucks and I'm sat here wondering where did I go wrong with my life 
If it makes you feel better, we are all taking out eye-wateringly large mortgages for fairly average homes! Haha. The joy's of the 2020's...!All these young people earning mega bucks and I'm sat here wondering where did I go wrong with my life
Hope you dont find this rude, but did you start off in a sales role and just keep progressing over the years? that seems so high! im about to graduate with my masters and i always get recruiters reaching out on linkedin for sales jobs and theyre so underpaid
Hey - absolutely. I have a totally unrelated science degree, left Uni and spent a year as an air hostess. Then joined a sales academy for a house builder 11 years ago. Since then have worked really hard and climbed the ladder.

For wider context, I started our 11 years ago on a basic of £22k, OTE of £40k. Worth noting that I work in London and always have done x
thank you! that's inspirational
