Thank youBut you’re not just “sitting at home on your laptop”, like you said you studied hard and worked hard to get where you are! And your job is needed just as much. Yes people like me (Nurses etc) don’t earn massive money but we knew that when choosing this job (or career if I can). The over time for extra money and long days on our feet etc are just part of the job. However it is nice to feel valued / hear people think we do a worthwhile and somewhat underpaid job, even if it has taken this awful pandemic to bring that to light. But anyway what I’m trying to say is you deserve all you have worked for! It’s nice to understand others situations though isn’t it.
However I do agree on “influencers”, a complete insult to any hard working person.
Sorry for my late reply.I’ve worked in finance for around 15 years (AAT) I’ve always been stuck around £25k a year as a finance assistant. I’ve just started studying for my CIMA (am in my late 30’s), if you don’t mind me asking - which industry/sector do you work in? Thankyou for the insight, has confirmed to me I am doing the right thing spending the time and money on my education x
Is that the norm, 'last in, first out?' If so I feel very lucky to still be there 9 years later! I joined my company just months before things went bad and redundancies happened. I was last in. Our company chose people based on sickness record, appraisals, disciplinaries, etc so I was saved.Also If you’ve been there a few years you’d get a decent redundancy- if you move it’s last in, first out.
My teenage daughter would love to work with animals but says the salary is too low...My salary has changed ever so slightly since I last posted it. Now base salary just under £22k - senior level, East of England. Yearly salary somewhere around £26k with all the overtime I do (most of my overtime is not optional, as I work with animals, I have to work 2 weekends a month), weekends are double pay. Not the best salary, but my hubby and I (he has the same job, same pay) manage to save at least £1.5k a month so it's more than enough for us, and we enjoy what we do, for the most part!
You also have the option to work Christmas day and New years day, which is paid at X 3.5 times (you only work about 5 hours on those days, so home for Christmas dinner)!
That is true. I don't want to go into details about my job for reasons I can't say, but I wanted to work with animals since I was small. This exact job was never what I wanted to do or saw myself doing. The pay is probably one of the best in the animal field, apart from the veterinary route - I couldn't be a vet, veterinary nursing I considered, but from people I know who've done it, the pay does not seem worth the stress!My teenage daughter would love to work with animals but says the salary is too low...

I do adore the animals. Any job with animals obviously requires empathy, and I just enjoy caring for them, and my colleagues are all like-minded so we are like a big family.
I hope you don't get many more promotions, or you'll end up paying them to work there.I take home £2300 a month (London, office job).
I was getting £3500 in my previous role (same employer). Strangely, I got promoted and took a massive pay cut. But work/life balance is much better.
And I’ve got a relatively stable life/job. Have my own place etc Pay cut just meant less handbags!
I used to be a PA and miss it xPA - £42k plus bonus & benefits (roughly worth £12k)
