All of the above would apply to be fair. Commercials is a lot different to cars, we are the dirty side of the business who don't wear suits or even ties most of the time

Nobody?

Bit much.

What about self employed with an income of 1 million? They would.

Let us check.

I assume single.

35,300 * 0.20 = 7,060

It is likely this person will be using a large amount of tax reliefs, but let's assume they don't.

(964,700) *(0.40) = 385,880

So tax is 392,940 less tax credits of 1650 + 1350 = 389,940

So tax is 38.99%

PRSI is a straight 4% or 40,000.

That means 429,940 or 42.99% so far, before USC.

Have I made any mistakes so far?

Next is USC...........

Society doesn't decide to pay pilots a big salary, you think Michael O'Leary wouldn't halve a pilot's salary if he knew he could get away with it? He would lose all of his pilots and the company would go under. Clearly there is a demand for pilots and the barrier to entry is very high - hence the big salary.

O’Leary was paying Pilots over 120k in 2001. Now you can find lots of pilots jobs in the left seat of a Boeing for €4500 a month. And I assume that its difficult to get a training loan of 100k when you will only earn peanuts for years.

From reading this, I thought my previous job was ok, but actually not.

New job pays 37,500(originally thought 39,000), but I did overtime on a Sunday and got paid 250€* for an 8 hour shift for which I had nowt to do for 4 hours, WIP was slow

*After tax

Jaysus, Masters and only 27k. Tough job also, hats off to you...

Quite a few jobs demand qualifications and have a preference for masters while paying poor wages. I have a Masters, wouldn't have gotten my job without it and only on equivalent of about 32k at the moment after several years experience. The company and industry is always complaining about the difficulty retaining quality staff (turnover is high) but for reasons I cannot understand, generally refuse to pay any more.

There is a competitor that is known for paying its staff very well and they have almost zero turnover. We tend to lose the good talent every 2 years when they go elsewhere. Including me, I quit my full time position as I realised it was going absolutely nowhere despite the job demanding more of me every year without offering anything in return.

At least a masters is never wasted, always there on your CV and looks good.

When you hit the high tax bracket there isnt a huge difference between the person on 35k and 50k. The person on 120k might have 4 kids, a stay at home wife and massive mortgage. It doesn't sound like a lot then.

They wouldn't be on paye/salary if self employed though, so not even relevant to the thread.

I was replying to a post by someone else, don't blame me for dragging the post away from the topic in the first place, but I couldn't let a non-factual post with that many thanks just slide by.

43%... keep going... USC of 11% on 900k=99,000

That's 53% already, without even calculating the USC due on the first 100k of income.

IT multinational - manager - 33.
120k OTE (80 base) Will earn around 130/140.
Never went to college, just worked up the IT sales ladder. Made more in sales but it was time to change.

100k salaries are not unrealistic for anyone with a bit of graft, the right attitude, and decent education.

I wouldn't say it's that simple, IT skills must be very in demand. It's a tiny minority who earn that salary.

By decent education do you mean 3rd level? If so I would disagree that it's a requirement

education related to the sector, not necessarily 3rd level. For example, I know a guy on €100k+ who works in HR and has a basic enough Organisation Behaviour diploma, his personality and work ethic helped him move up the chain.

I know another lad working as a sole trader, pulling €120k a year with no qualifications, but is great at the hussle for jobs and always reliable.

Another lad in my circle earns 6 figures as a fund administrator, all he has is a leaving cert, again, he worked himself up the foodchain over a period of 10 years or so to get to that level.

the biggest single thing I look for when hiring myself is attitude, with the right attitude boundless possibilities exist,

I'm a Solicitor in private practise and I am on €55k.

I left a nice & handy (in saying that we still had to work hard, but it wasn't client facing, it was an advisory role to the business) In-House Solicitor role in Dublin, where I was on €60k and had a heap of benefits, to move closer to home. Before I left they hinted at giving me more money to stay, I'd say I could have gotten €65-70k from them.

I see a lot of jobs in Dublin going for someone with my experience in the "big firms" where I could probably get €80-90k, but the hours would be long and to be honest I prefer having some sort of work/life balance. I have buddies in the big firms and while the hours aren't always hectic I really don't know how they do it during the busy periods, for example if they are involved in a big transaction it's all hands on deck for 2-3 months until it's done i.e. no going home at 5/6/7pm, and a realistic finish time would be 9-10pm.

I loved working in Dublin and did for nearly 6 years. I used to get the train when I was city centre based and I'd never be more than an hour door to door. But the in-house role was not city centre based so it was taking me 2 hours each morning to commute and 1 hour and 15 minutes in the evening to get home. I then planned on getting back to the city centre or close to home a few months ago. A job close to home popped up and now it takes me 25 minutes door to door to get to work. You can't beat an easy commute, it makes the day's work easier. In saying that I wouldn't mind working in Dublin again but it would have to be city centre based so I could use the train.

My new goal for the next 5 years is to see how much I can earn without having to manage another person. In fact my ideal world is where only one person knows that I exist but I can pull in massive compensation. It gets hard, eventually you keep getting people pushed on you to help you, it's really the last thing I want, I just want to filter the interesting and hard problems, not manage people.

What would be the best route to go down if I was starting a multimedia course? For example which aspect of the course to focus on, for further down the line for your career?

To be honest I've always liked working with computers and love a challenge too. Also love media production/graphic design etc so feel multimedia may be a good mix and would be very interested in learning some coding/programming.

What route did ye take when any of ye done a multimedia course? Coding/programming would be somewhat new to me so I'll either love it or hate it, but I think I'll enjoy it.

I wouldnt say a tiny minority.. 100k is a very decent wage, but definitely not a sky high wage, or rare.

I was managing people in my last job and got to hate it, so specifically went looking for a job that didn’t involve it. Currently earning mid-€60k’s when bonus and pension are included and think I’ve plateaued, can’t see me getting any more money without managing people again.

I'll bite...

I left a job in Fund Administration just over 8 months ago. It was a relatively senior technical non people management role. As I was leaving my annual remuneration package was approx. €43k, including health insurance and a small employer contributed pension. Granted it was outside the Pale/ Cork but that salary was after over 15 years experience in the sector. It was also a job that would probably end up killing me in the end it was getting so insanely stressful but that's another story.

Eight months ago I moved into a new sector, Personal Financial Advisor (outside of the banks/ building societies). It is very much a job where your take home pay is determined by how much commission you earn. A basic salary of €30k and to put it crudely after that the more you sell the more commission you earn with apparently the sky being the limit. I was told by the hiring manager that with a half good year in the first year I could easily expect to take home €70k to €100k. Reality of the matter is that unless something changes dramatically over the next few months it will be much much closer to €30k and I mean much much much closer to €30k (if not €30k). It will be pretty much the same scenario for many of the new guys I work beside if not some of the more seasoned guys also.

Central bank regulation requires that when selling certain financial products to individuals a fact find is completed. This is essentially a synopsis of their income, expenditure, dependents etc. - to ensure that the can afford and actually require the product. I would take these with a pinch of salt as invariably some will be generous and more will scale back the figure. However and interestingly, the picture I'm building up is that tradesmen - builders, plumbers, electricians seem to be taking home savage pay. Many would seem to be doing nixers too on the side too which appears to be very lucrative if what I am being told is to be believed. Some of these guys are very young and recently qualified too.

Many people who work what I would have considered to be well paid and respected professions don't seem to do as good by comparison - teachers, solicitors, accountants etc.

This all makes me think I should have steered clear of what would seem to be an underpaid, stressful and under respected financial services industry from the start
