How Much Do You Earn? #2

[Onetwothreemore]

Work in social care for a charity, management role, 18.5 hours a week around school hours £1900 every 4 weeks and can work from home if wanted

Probably similar to nhs band 7 responsibilities plus oncall (just answering the phone for any crisis) for a week every 8 weeks.

I believe it to be well paid for the sector and I wouldn’t be able to get a band 7 role in nhs as only educated to degree level.

850k a year????

if my husband earned that I wouldn’t be working because I was bored, I’d be shopping or volunteering.

£850k a year ? How is that actually a salary - I can’t actually comprehend that much money.

https://www.refinery29.com/en-gb/highest-paying-jobs-2021 I call bull on the 850

Just have a google , the highest paid jobs are 140 k at the most . maybe They meant 85k,

I don’t think the poster was lying. There are plenty of jobs within the UK over 140k

Change it because I was wrong, but i really don’t believe it. 70k a month no just don’t believe it.

Just have a google , the highest paid jobs are nowhere near that, . maybe They meant 85k,

Did they say they were in the UK, maybe it includes bonus and share options.

 

[lastdis]

assume by primary school and teaching assistant wording it’s uk . If I’m wrong then sorry .

He could have his own business so it is completely plausible.

Exactly this, I know of people who earn more in bonus than their salary.

 

[lastdis]

yes own business would be . We have 2 and earn a decent amount, so I know that’s possible , again The wording made me think job like working for someone else.a nd other on her have put for example 50k plus big bonuses.

Actually feel a bit jumped on here, someone said they earned 24k a month and were called out and no one said oh your wrong to anyone, yet I say it about 70k a month and I’m picked apart.

Maybe completely off the track but football players earn ridiculous amounts of money. Who knows. 850k not bad.

Sorry if you feel picked apart, I only said I disagree as I know plenty of people earning in excess of that. Granted, most own their own companies.

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

 

[CatVonMe]

I am 25 and earn 40k. When I first started my career a few years ago I thought 40k sounded like so much money but Ireland is a ridiculously expensive country and my money really does not get me far at all.

I keep telling myself that 50k will be my sweet spot

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

 

[overithun]

I love reading this tit!

29, Top 4 firm, £66k basic with £5-10k a year in bonus.

Partner earns basically the same. Have found as our wages grow so do our expenses I had more disposable income when I was earning 30k

 

[jeam90]

I know it sounds ridiculous but that is his wage! Even I find it hard to comprehend at times. I never would ever have imagined living the way I do now, I came from an average middle class family.

We met at uni and then I got pregnant with our eldest at 23 (she’s now 14) so I dropped out to become a mum and he carried on working ridiculously hard, he’s a bit of a workaholic. The only reason I work is so I have some of my own money and I just save about 3/4 of it so if something were to happen I have my own money because we live off his money. I also volunteer 1 day a week at the local food bank helping out but I didn’t add that in because obviously I don’t earn anything from that!

I’m not going to say his job for privacy reasons but a couple of people have guessed right!

We now also have a 6 and 2 year old and I couldn’t be happier!

CEO of a FTSE100 company will earn millions....

Oops, did not mean to pick on you, my step sister in law is in the states, she used to work for a company most of us use, and she was on about 800/900k including bonus and shares .

Not sure if this is OT but does anyone else struggle with feeling like you always need to be earning more? I've gone up 4 bandings in the NHS in the space of 5 years, so just over a 20k leap altogether. But whenever I reach the next step I get angtsy and feel like it's not enough to feel financially secure and I need to earn more.

Realistically I know I've done well to climb that quickly, but I don't know if I'll ever feel secure even if I was earning £££££. It drives my other half mad. But we have very different mindsets. He's quite happy plodding along earning an OKish salary.
