Can't remember if I posted here originally, but I've started a new job for £60k (up from £50k), but the bump is mainly as it's a London company. Still working an a financial analyst.

Know it’s motivating to know people can progress as sometimes feels stuck in a grade x
Personally I found specialising helped. I was in operations in dwp for years and didn't really progress, then moved into a finance role. I've since worked my way up 3 grades much quicker than I would have if I was still in Ops (and got funding for my accountancy qualification)

This 👆🏻 I loved Ops but I knew that to progress beyond HEO, you need a specialism.

G7 I would guess, I'm in similar, worked my way up from AO 😊
Love hearing about people doing this. X

This is worth bearing in mind. I’m at the point where I want to progress but feel penned in. Think that’s common feeling. I’d love to move in to finance but I worry I’d make a daft mistake. X

Maybe see if you could do some job shadowing or something? I did for a day and immediately knew I needed to move to Finance and so applied as soon as a job came up. Initially on level transfer but once you have the experience it opens so many doors 👌

Thanks for the advice I’ll look into it x

I own my own business but it’s very new so I currently earn £0
My husband however earns about 140K in the media industry, but we don’t have a joint account so I don’t see much of that beyond the mortgage and bills being paid

I thought I was doing ok until I see some of the salaries on here. I am on 50k for a office based local government job. Not a useful front line job, just piece of piss back office stuff.

That’s a good salary for piece of piss office stuff though! I’m on less than that and I manage 10 people

47k assistant headteacher. Depressing seeing what others earn!
I know what you mean and your line of work is worthwhile and difficult. However, most people on high salaries have different types of stresses. Being on call 24/7. Even when I’m on ‘annual leave’ my work phone is always on, I have to answer every phone call and email quickly, regardless of the time. I do it solely to pay off my mortgage early and retire by the time I’m 45. I couldn’t carry on this job until my 60s. You sign your life away. Dealing with pressure from bosses, it’s a different level to the majority of jobs. A lot of people wouldn’t want to do it, understandably. It’s all down to choices.
It’s also having a skill set that perhaps many other people don’t have and specialising early.
