Don’t want to out myself too much but it’s a role focused on Operational Resilience, so essentially helping fix when incidents occur.

Ah don’t worry, bonus is on top of that! Plenty jobs in banking if you’ve got the skills. Most civil servants I know like the generous sick pay and lack of accountabilityJust over £22,500 a year as a civil servant.
At least I know where my umpteenth mortgage increase will go - enjoy your bonuses bankers!
but I’m sure you buck the trend 
Nope! No generous sick pay and every minute of the day timed! I try to do a good job, but held back by a lack of resources.Ah don’t worry, bonus is on top of that! Plenty jobs in banking if you’ve got the skills. Most civil servants I know like the generous sick pay and lack of accountability
I thought being a SAHM sounded good until I did it. I feel like going to work is a breakSo many replies to my comment and I've been unwell with a stomach bug so unable to reply sorry ! You all raise some good points. I personally can't see myself working full time with kids, being at home all day is probably the dream as I'm very introverted with a lot of hobbies. I couldn't see myself ever getting bored or wanting to work (despite currently having a very good job) but I guess you don't truly know until you are a mum! As people have rightly said, everyone is different and I particularly relate to wanting your own disposable income (so long as it's not instantly eaten by childcare costs. Maybe granny can have them on the ONE day a week I drag myself to work).
Im not maternal though. I hope you enjoy it when your time comes. Its definitely not easy despite how its portrayed by society but youre contributing a lot by doing it.---
Im also a civil servant and can agree with all of this.Nope! No generous sick pay and every minute of the day timed! I try to do a good job, but held back by a lack of resources.
So under resourced and trying so hard to make a difference. We are viewed so negatively, hard not to take it to heart.
Civil servant, £42,000. Currently have very little to do currently and feeling quite guilty about it. Working in a new directorate that’s just been set up, everything’s still a bit up in the air, so peaks and troughs work wise.
Waiting to hear news of a promotion which would put me on £53,000 which I’d be quite happy to have.

Already working on it!
Its not as simple as just leaving the civil service, you still need people to do a lot of these jobs. In the time Ive worked in the civil service, all Ive seen is experienced members of staff leaving which in turn means the general public aren't getting the service they need/require
We're often dealing with really vulnerable people and if you have no dealings with the Government or rely on top up benefits or disability benefits to survive you dont understand how bad things are at the moment.
Experienced members of staff are leaving due to the wage issue, my department has saw them leave in droves for better paid jobs and good for them but it leaves the issue who is stepping in and doing their job now?
There was a huge issue recently with delayed State Pension payments and its because they are so under resourced and under experienced.
Are there people who join the CS because theyre lazy? Absolutely but I also see people battling daily to try and make a difference for the people they serve. The majority of lower paid staff members have strict targets in their roles and it is managed if you dont meet them. The sickness policies are not overly generous like the media would have you believe, there are next to no civil servants these days sitting on paid sick for months and months on end and you will be managed out quite quickly even if you have a serious illness like cancer

Are you a banker?
Haha, nope, and I'm on a tracker getting absolutely ducked by the interest rates!Are you a banker?
Just think it's pointless to come on a thread about what other people earn and be offended by what other people earn.
Recently got a pay rise so now on 30k a year. I’m 24 so happy with that, my role is Monday - Friday 9-5 and I get good benefits like private health care! Including my bonus it brings my wage up to between 33-35k

No, its more to do with the bills you have to pay.
make sure you’ve got some savings behind you and your mortgage on a fixed rate, or a decent tenancy if you rent. If you're organised and you know what your costs are going to be then you can plan ahead.
children actually cost very little if you’re a SAHM, it’s the paraphernalia you'll buy in the early years, but you can get plenty of decent stuff second hand And of course days out, things to do, that’s what costs you money.
if you go back to work childcare will be a big outgoing.

I currently earn zilch as I’m brushing up on my bookkeeping skills and going self employed. Hope to be on £24k this time next year, part time.

Just got a new job as an accountant on £68k plus 10% bonus. Pay raise of 8k so happy with that. I'm 30 and about where I want to be money wise. Basically the most money I can earn with the least amount of responsibility. New role has no management responsibilities whereas I managed a team of 3 now.
Bf is 36 and earns 80k plus 20% bonus as a finance manager.

I think I need to unfollow this thread because it is depressing me so much to realise how little I make?! I'm being ducked 
Unsure if this is classed as off topic or not, but does anyone do / have any side hustles?
I'm a graphic designer part time so would love to know if anyone else does anything alongside their 9-5?

I think there was one for side hustles but maybe I'm misremembering.
I thought there was one too but I couldn't find one!
