I suspect you're on more than a lot of us. Here we go..

But hopefully not for long!

It's a bit uncouth to ask. We're not American (mostly).

Going up to £12168 from the end of this month.

less than PickledO.

shut up about your mustard cutting

26k last year
14k this year

i'm going to be paying to go to work inside of 3 years

http://thedailywtf.com/Articles/Ask-WTF-Salary.aspx

£50 for Full Sex (although I often think a nice kiss is better)

Dunno why people get so precious about it

£37k.

But shit possibly. I could do with more but have enough innit.

doing circa thirty-six hours per week, on a temporary zero hour 'contract'.

Then a side job that probably pays less than minimum wage but I enjoy the work so its cool. I was earning less than half of that two years ago and paying more for a flat and I started to lose my mind.

27 £17,500
But hoping to go contracting next year and quintuple that

auctioned off their old PCs to employees to make some money back on obsolete machines. Hoarder friend of mine bought one, which hadn't had its HDD formatted / removed. On it were a bunch of (outdated) HR docs, including a spreadsheet documenting the salary and benefits of every single person in the company, as of 9 months prior.

Bits of freelance work get me an extra £1-2k a year on top of that.

I really need to either be promoted or get a new job. Been thinking of moving agency side and becoming an account or planning manager where I'll go to £35k

My boss has just got back off maternity and announced she's leaving to join our main competitor. I applied for her maternity cover and got told no chance. I'm going for it this time and if I don't get promoted after 4 years I'll probably quit on principle.

Through some lazy printing I also know how much everyone gets paid which gives me an upper hand in negotiating

Live just outside of London. I hardly ever have any money... should be getting a pay rise soon though.

over 40 with freelance additions, although that obv fluctuates.

Would like to be on 50 when I'm 30.

...so my salary varies quite a bit depending on how often I work and what kind of role I'm fulfilling. Last year I earnt £128k for a 10 month contract which my second most profitable year to date.

they make me feel poor as

you're all rich, handsome bastards. WTF are you doing on here? Internet forums are for poor, ugly people.

but I don't pay tax and my job isn't really a job job

make me wonder where I went wrong.

NO CK BE, NO SIKH FAY-NEE etc

Given a fellow employee posts here I could potentially get in trouble for it though.

It's not much, I struggle for most of the year but it's bolstered out with a nice annual bonus which makes the months after it a bit easier. That said, given the *work* I do I can't really complain about it not being a bank-breakingly good salary. If/When I get married/have kids I'm almost certainly going to need a career change though.

Should be £33k next year all being well.

I live perfectly comfortably and am still able to chin away £400 a month into the old savings.

I mean everyone could do with more money because there's an infinite amount of stuff you can spend money on... I do get a bit worried when people who are on £30k+ are talking about it not being `enough`... It's a fair old whack still, that.

with an extra 5/6k on top from private consultancy.

what everyone else gets paid is a massive help. But that's the advantage of being an accountant.

I'm still a nice person

It's not very much.

but as it's a wage, not a salary, I dunno. Still live reasonably well mind.

worked out once what I earnt at my stupid pointless enraging old job, it was considerably more :(

£34,000 next month. Wooop!
Plenty for me to live on here ooooop north. I have absolutely no idea how I would manage on that in that London.

Just gone up from £12,500. I get a bonus every 3 months too but I can't remember how much it usually is. Not that much.

Currently on Zero Pounds pa.

Bit bored, so probably back working by the end of the year.

some overpaid people right there

I'm 100% sure there are some nice dentists but i've never met one.

everyone's fillings and bridges and are always falling out as well

It's less than what I was on before, but given I don't work in finance any more, that's to be expected.

It's quite a stressful job while I'm at work, I have to have some difficult conversations with people and do a lot of persuading and education with regards to the project I'm managing and produce reports and have meetings with the big swinging dicks of my company.

But then I only do 35 hours a week and can come home and not feel too stressed.

Hopefully use the skills gained in this contract job to go and do something better paid afterwards.

which is more than I thought - pretty happy about that.

am fairly surprised that so many of you claim that comfortable living would require a salary of 40k+, unless you have children

cheers and cheers

Yours,

Scout Warbucks

+ a further 2,500 in bonuses + 500 for flights

Which sounds shite but my acoomodation is paid for, i don't pay taxes and everything is dirt cheap. Reckon at the moment i'm saving upwards of 500 pounds a month :D

which is currently covering a large mortgage plus all household expenses while the missus is in full-time study for four years. It's a bit of a stretch, but I'm still at the stage where I'm feeling quite chuffed that we can manage it at all. Talk to me in three years' time.

still surprisingly depressing

WTF have I done????

Just got called into the office...expecting to be let go...offer of a managers job as the departments being made bigger. WHEEEEY PARTY! (disclaimer...its still alot less than 90% of people in here)

Then roughly £5k additionally on private consultancy stuff.

...more than when I first posted in this thread. Good times.

This year, 72k.

just applied for a year long job which'd be a ~10k increase (and i'd shit myself, due of stress, and eventually get found out in if i actually fluked my way into it - too tempting to not apply, though, as it's five mins walk from my front door). gonna apply for one at the weekend which'd be a >£5k cut (but sounds like the same as what i'm doing now, but an hour closer, and perm, and cushdy). the dollars is only the half of it.

Having switched jobs. However the time it takes to get new job done has lessened my freelance take so I'm only about a grand up

It'll be 42k€

Set to double in the next ~2-3 years. Maybe a bit more if I can be arsed risking moving firms.

Basically I just want enough to keep me in fresh swan necks for wiping my arse with. Goals are good to have.

You guys are loaded.

I'm currently earning about £500 a month on average though it goes up a lot in the summer. So... I'd say £7,000 per year about.

The last couple months were dire though, like, £400 odd quid a month dire.

Does me just fine. I spend it all too.
