Yes and it does the business no favours in terms of growth the CFOs role is to play the devils advocate to the CEO and challenge their decisions so you get an optimistic and pessimistic view on decisions which should in theory ensure decisions that are made are accounting for and mitigating the associated risks.

how do you find contracting compared to being employed if you don't mind me asking?
Love being able to leave if I am unhappy!
Ok you do not pension and holiday benefits.
I have signed up with an agency...PM me if you want the name. Happy to help!
I would love the agency name too if you don't mind. I don't think we can PM on here?
I literally went from my first job after retail to a not to profit. Got fired from that job and then started working for a family run business. Do not recommend. Therapy genuinely helped though.
Thanks. He really lacks confidence (thanks to his parents who beat any sort of career aspirations or confidence out of him - that's a whole other story). He has this idea that if he doesn't 100% know how to do something then he shouldn't apply for it. I've told him that no one 100% knows how to do most things and a lot of people wing it. If you never take a leap, you can never grow. He says he actually quite fancies analyst or consultant roles and has applied for some so hopefully he'll realise he is so much more capable than he gives himself credit for. He is so smart and has so much potential and it drives me crazy he doesn't believe in himself enough to use it!
Project Manager- I'm on £41k
Any particular reason you don't want to start paying back? It's like progressive tax rates. You never lose money for earning more money, because it only applies to amounts earned over that threshold. So if you earn 30k, you'll only be paying the 9% on approx 3k, not the full 30k.
Administrator & Office Manager (used to be two roles - but I don't seem to get 2 salaries!!) - £28,000 + very generous bonus (25%). My take home after tax/NI, student loan, pension etc is £1,800. Live alone so it doesn't stretch too far...
Does anyone else feel as though everyone else their age is earning way more?? I don't know how people are landing jobs in sectors that have £50k+ salaries. What's the secret!

What have we done!!!In an office manager role if you don’t already get a health & safety qual & HR. Don’t be afraid to move jobs. admin/office manager roles will only pay so much depending on the business with corporates using AI roles like PAs are drying up & we’ve stated reducing down on admin roles or use apprentices.
My husband does this, he’s in cloud engineering, he was on 60k, but he’s more experienced now and is interviewing for 85k a year jobs, at 27Someone I know is a year older than me (26), has been in tech since 18 and is now on £64k ...
Also they are paid much much more in America, so he’s considering getting a fully remote, US based job, and just wfh full time…wish I could go back in time and be a tech girlie 🥲

I'm in a pretty good position money wise (construction girlie and I'm on 38 x) but I hate my job and the money isn't even worth it if you don't enjoy what you do in my opinion, so I've actually been interviewing for places with 10k less than what I earn
It's such a double edged sword - you're essentially selling 35-40 hours of your week and need to work out what that's worth your finances and your mental healthI'm in a pretty good position money wise (construction girlie and I'm on 38 x) but I hate my job and the money isn't even worth it if you don't enjoy what you do in my opinion, so I've actually been interviewing for places with 10k less than what I earn
Project Manager (Utilities Sector) - £52,310
That can't hold true now as it doesn't account for inflation does it? £30k in 2001 was a much better salary than these days.
I was in an Office Manager/Administrator/PA role in my early 20s and was on £18k! That was rubbish money for that job even thenAdministrator & Office Manager (used to be two roles - but I don't seem to get 2 salaries!!) - £28,000 + very generous bonus (25%).

I'm now over 40 and earning just shy of £50k and I work in project management/commercial insights/data analytics. I've always felt like I've been shafted when it comes to money, earning less than people I managed, earning less than people doing the same job, earning less than people with less experience. Never really felt able to fight for myself though. As for my friends, they earn a really wide salary range, everything from £20k to over £100k. I'd love to earn more but at the same time I want to go part time for my mental health and for my kids so can't win them all!If I had my time again I think I'd try to get a decent post sorted by about 27 then move around every 2-3 years aiming for a minimum of £8k uplift each time then settle in a job/career while I had kids. Either start looking again once they were in secondary school and you are more flexible or maybe change careers.
