Do you mind saying how many years experience you have? I have 5-6 years would class myself as mid weight and I’m on 23.5k in Manchester. Love my job but feel so underpaidGraphic designer, London £52k
17 years experience. I think you’re underpaid for a mid weight - I was on £32k 10 years ago (although in London). Have a look around and compare, I find LinkedIn handy for that xDo you mind saying how many years experience you have?

My place (Government Agency) is incredibly like that. Type of chair, type of desk, even carpet ...etc. are defined by what band you're in.
It's surreal, I got a promotion and was visited by someone out of Building Services to whisk away my desk and chair to be replaced by ones for a band in which I now reside

You dont happen to know if Social Workers are wanted in the States?!? I get confused by the term social worker in the states because they also have case workers, have liscenses etc. But i did my MA in social work and im obviously with the HCPC. Ive heard our uk MA education is seen as quite good over there, and i would love to move there again! (i was lucky enough to study at LSU for a year when doing my BA)That's nuts, she absolutely should do a few years in the US and make bank. Occupational therapists are seriously needed and should be paid properly. I think it's the structure of the US healthcare system (a for-profit system) that generates those large salaries, compared to the UK's public one.
My mum's bff (from Glasgow) makes over $100k as a senior nurse after moving to the US. The person I know making $550k is British and he moved to the US 10-15 years ago after basically realising he was going to be living hand to mouth as a specialist on the NHS. It's sad. For me, I haven't ruled out moving to America, because in investments I could make an obscene amount of $$ there.

I wonder why footballers’ pay is always mentioned in weeks rather than monthly or yearly like everyone else. Do they get paid during the summer between the seasons?I don’t work I’m a SAHM but my husband is a professional sportsman,he earns 23,000 per week plus win bonuses etc
yes and there’s a lot of drama surrounding him at the momentOoooh, I'd love a Dave Ramsey thread. I think he's awful, but some of his advice is brilliant in the right circumstances. Although some of his advice is pants, hence why I think a thread would be fascinating![]()
