Homme Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 27.4k Not enough considering the position I hold and work I do I love my job but seriously considering a change just for a higher salary now that my son is here.

Brian Whittaker's Tache Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Self employed so low! Still a fledgling business that needs money invested in it so 22k for a 60+ hour week! Bit of a hit from my London days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bridge of Djoum Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Given current exchange rates, it brings a tear to my eye to think about what I was earning in the US a couple of years ago. The money you can earn here really was a factor in me moving over, and the main reason I'll never move back to the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peebo Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 The money you can earn here really was a factor in me moving over, and the main reason I'll never move back to the UK. I took a significant pay cut to move back...and that cut is now even bigger, in sterling terms. Personally find that, after a certain point, the more you earn, the more you spend on things you don't really need. Depends on where you are overall, of course.

That is true, although, living in NY is an expensive existence. In general, the wages reflect this in the city. I have a friend who is unionised doorman, starts on $23 an hour, with full benefits. Add to that the Xmas tips, which are un-taxed, it's a pretty lucrative career for one which requires no qualifications. I was pretty shocked when I saw what sanitation workers, (binmen), earn. North of $80k. Just nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmfc_liam06 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Around ?27k also but do the job of about 3 people so I really should be earning a lot more. My actual role is a web designer/developer but I also account manage and pitch for work. Work for a small firm and don't have the rigmarole of travelling from Fife to Edinburgh (which is soul destroying) so there are some positives to the lower than average wage.

IronJambo Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 This threads a bit of a reality check. I'd probably be ruined and spiralling towards bankruptcy if I was earning ?30k, but that looks like higher than average on what's being quoted here. As said, it's all relative. Over ?2kpm of our cash is gone on just mortgage and childcare! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After tax, I'm on about ?14-15k a year. Overtime available which pushes it to maybe ?16 or ?17 if I'm lucky. If your generally happy then I don't see any issue with earning that. You can still live a relatively comfortable lifestyle on that. I was earning that and only got up to 17k by the skin of my teeth and even then, it could go back down as quick as it went up (oo-er). I don't drive, I share a flat with my mate, haven't had a holiday since last year, but I would say I am happy. I have mates who are never happy with what they earn. How can you live like that? Big three bedroom flats, BMW's, the best of clobber but still not happy. I respect people who work hard to earn a lot but FFS man, at least be happy about it.

cosanostra Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 My last couple of years working in the UK, I earned about ?42-43K per year. Moved to Australia and I earn not far off double that now. I get less holidays than before but I also work less hours. It still involves lots of shift work and emergency on call work. I love my job but it could always be better. Houses cost an absolute fortune over here but everything else is about the same price or cheaper. Car, petrol and car insurance are cheaper by miles over here. We probably get at least 250 days of warm weather and sunshine and nearly all of the dangerous snakes and spiders are on the opposite coast, a 5hr flight away. Occasional shark attack, no Hearts and horrendous times of football games apart, it's pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
