Im entry level hr, 33 with 2 kids renting in a commuter town, id love 40kWork in HR for a charity, just over £40k. 28yo with husband, almost 3 year old and a baby on the way so it doesn’t feel like much at all! Not sure I really want to work much harder than I do now though
Currently 19k. It’s my first job out of uni and would definitely like to earn more considering other roles around me are getting paid about 25k easy. However I’m hoping to go on the bonus scheme soon which would put me up to about 23k ish

We have tit tonnes of debt so once that’s paid I’d probably feel more comfortable! I think most of us always want more money no matter what we earn! The job above me at my organisation pays £9k more and I worked out it was only £200 odd extra a month after tax, student loan, pension etc- doesn’t feel worth it to meIm entry level hr, 33 with 2 kids renting in a commuter town, id love 40k
I work for a charity and I earn 21k. The role is very demanding and outside of a charity setting, in a similar role, you'd be looking at around 25-28k for sure. Unfortunately so many of us know this so when new job opportunities come up, everyone piles in.
Same here tbf! When our debt is cleared, we will have some breathing spaceWe have tit tonnes of debt so once that’s paid I’d probably feel more comfortable!

Yeah, its all a balance isnt it of what you can realistically live on and your work/life balance!
I’m v late to your Q, but can give you some insight. I’m on £48k, teach in outter london, with extra responsibilities (so prob get £4K for that) and been teaching 13 years. I’m a primary teacher x
€42k as a product designer, I'm really underpaid for my line of work but I'm trying to build up some experience before moving elsewhere
£19k-ish. I'll be a little vague but I work in the third sector just shy of full time within the field of helping vulnerable people (mental capacity, mental health, autism, children) so not clinical care but lots of communicating with the people directly and furthering what they want.
I'm aware the pay is pretty tit for how complex some of the stuff I do is but I am in very lucky accidental personal circumstances that now mean I don't just have to chase the cash like I used to (and even then I only managed to achieve the dizzy heights of £22k a year so I wasn't actually good at chasing cash) and the organisation I work for is very understanding and flexible with a lot of things. I can understand why my colleagues are hacked off with the pay but I also think they earn a fair bit more than me due to qualifications I don't yet have.

That’s so tit!!
They can't afford to pay the landlord for any extra spaces. They don't care. Holidays are constantly refused, I've had colleagues miss family weddings due to not getting a day off.
That’s awful
Once again, I am going to sound harsh, but in my opinion cutting holidays and cutting parking spaces is better than cutting jobs.
$35000 - underpaid and overworked. New uni instructor. My supervisor told me if I get tenured, I could make six figures though that will take two more decades or so.
I get 25 days annual leave a year. I have to use them as its contractual. Parking isn't their problem, especially as the managers have kept their spaces. I have requested a day off in two months time and as a few others are off I can't have it. Its a special event, not just a day at home. They don't care, just see a list of people all requesting the same day and I'm on the bottom of the list. I now have to miss my family event, or its a disciplinary. They have given me no option to leave.
£9120 a year. I work 2.5 days a week at the moment, haven’t got the childcare at the moment to be full time. My old job before kids I was on around £19k.
I’m very lucky with my current job though, couldn’t ask for a better boss so I don’t mind earning less than I need really.

While I can sympathize with your situation, at least you have a job. You could always take a sickie.
Somebody else can have the job. If I take a sickie I'll get a disciplinary as I've already requested the day off and its been declined. I'm not missing my sons special day. I'm in a no win situation. If I go into work I let him down, if I don't go in I have a disciplinary on my file that will follow me to every job.
Do you not have a way of finding out who has requested the day off before you put your request in? I.e. a calendar or diary? Won't help for this case as you already made the request, but in future check before asking and if too many, don't ask call in sick
We don't unfortunately. We have our own system that shows our shifts, we have to request AL through that. The only issue my colleagues have with taking a sickie is that some have already had time off ill and another day off will trigger a sickness absence meeting. Tbh I shouldn't have to jump through so many hoops to get one day off in two months time. There is already a wait list for that week and others that are ahead of will be given priority, which is fair enough.
