I've really found this thread interesting, I've just accepted a new job in the New Year and have been really interested in wages ever since, but most people don't like to discuss it!

I'm an Accountant in the Civil Service, currently earn £40k pa, will be £52k after promotion. I'm 39 and live in the West Midlands. Paying off debts from a crappy ex so really chuffed that can be done sooner now 😊

I just applied for a post in finance in my department and asked to do locally funded accountancy study. Prior to that I only had GCSE/A level. There's also finance fast steam schemes and apprenticeships across Government which can get you promoted quicker. It's definitely worth it, I get an allowance on top of my basic pay for being qualified

I earn just over £32,000 as a teacher in Scotland. However, after tax, pension and student loans it is roughly £21,500 which is actually a bit depressing to see written out

Although I know I am very lucky my student loans are government ones and my pension will pay off one day so 🤷‍♀️.

I'm 25! (Although 26 very soon) I am on Point 1 of a 0 to 6 point scale which you go up once a year so slowly growing towards over £40,000 on point 6.

These are all so interesting to read! So many different jobs!

Local Authority. Line manager of 30 (ish) staff.
I do 5 hours a day, term time only. Main admin base is at home with a maximum of two staff visits a day.
After tax and NI, come out with 1k a month.
And apart from 3 breakfast club sessions a month, we have no childcare costs now.
We're significantly better off than when I was doing other jobs, because of the amount we are saving on childcare.
It used to be that in July and August I'd be in negative numbers, turning up just for the pension contributions!
Also I'm time rich, no more lengthy commute = being able to pay attention to everyone at home, and getting home at a reasonable time to do that.

Sweet FA, SAHM with 2 autistic children. Don't claim dla for them, even though I really should as would help massively. I just can't get my head around the paperwork. Husband earns about 26k before tax. Lab technician. Suffolk area. Don't get an allowance from the hubby, he just pays for everything. No joint account either.

I feel you with regards to the DLA claim situation. Currently in the process of filling it in for my autistic child after putting it off for the longest time; it is a beast of a form. I’m finding it difficult because I downplay a lot of my son’s challenges, because I’m used to them being with him all the time. You really have to describe your child’s worst day and that itself takes a toll. It would help out so much but a huge part of me believes it’s going to be rejected (bit of a pessimist).😕

About to start work as a teaching assistant and salary will be around £18k

This is a lot for a ta. The PRU I work in pay around that much but that’s with a few allowances for the environment you work in.
Friends that are TA’s are usually on around £10k as it’s paid term time only. I’m not saying that’s right as most jobs in education severely underpaid.
