    Thanks to the pandemic I'm now down to a 4 day week. Thats a 20% reduction. We were told no bonuses this year and no pay increases (which I was expecting). So I'm already down over €15k gross, with that potentially getting to over €25k lost with a further reduction in hours. I was on about 60k gross.

    There's no chance of a recovery in my place anytime soon and with the rest of the economy moving into recession I'm not sure what to do tbh. Pretty sickened.

    I work as a software engineer. 85k plus perks and performance bonus. Good thing is that I work from home, so Covid didn’t really effect me.

    the best thing you can get starting in IT at the moment is a driving licence. Loads of places struggle to get engineers who can drive. Ive seen it add 10k , a driving licence and even a vendor issued cert in networking and you'll get 40k all day long as a field engineer.

    That is a Higher Functioning Autism thing. It has nothing to do with laziness. They struggle to judge distance and time in a car. Its not uncommon, but sussh many of them are ashamed of it.

    It varies hugely in most jobs. Take a retail assistant, it can range from minimium wage to double that in some outlets that require you to know a bit or have the ability to really engage with folk. And there's plenty retail roles with commission/bonus incentives also.

    Mechanics, can be from not much more than the minimum wage to €50k/annum.

    Accountants and engineers (actually qualified ones rather than folk claiming they are) can be paid from €40k/annum for folk with experience to multiples of that without going into management roles.

    You can make decent money at almost anything if it works out well and conversely almost any job can pay fairly sh1te at the lower end of the scale.

    Never said it was laziness, just its a massive trough in the market companies pay to fill. Decent network engineers with a driving licence are hard to find.

    Big law firm jobs in Dublin for qualified solicitors start at around €60k+ (bearing in mind that it takes at least 3 1/2 years post-university to qualify). There are rumours of some larger international firms paying a good bit more than that for newly qualified solicitors. This then increases around €10k per year for the first few years. It takes about 4/5 years to hit six figures. Bonuses are based on hours billed so could be significant lump sums on top of basic salary. The drawback besides the long road of training to get there is the lack of social lives those in the big firms have, outside of partying. Wouldn't say it is uncommon to have poor a family life, health and/or relationship issues.

    I work in a top 5 firm and 70K + bonus + benefits seems to be the norm for NQ solicitors in firms of a similar tier in Dublin. The area you specialise in will also affect your earning potential obvioulsy.

    Its always assumed by those who dont know looking in that it is laziness, why else? "Are you too lazy to get a license?", My dim witted GP. Only a few in the last years that HFA is being openly discussed by employers and educators slowly by larger society.
