Could you recommend an introductory purse?

Salesforce have a free online learning system (to be fair on their technology - for Data Analytics it's tableau). You can even spin up the tech. For the benefit of folk on this thread it also flags the salaries. If you go here you can see the different salaries for different career paths https://trailhead.salesforce.com/career-path

Well you lose half in tax to begin with....

Means you come out (very roughly) with about €10k a month in the hand. Obviously nice money still.

It's as simple as you just buy more expensive of everything :pac:

Clothes, cars, private school for kids, house, location, holidays. Beauty of todays society is you can pay for a Hotpoint Washing machine for €400 or Miele for €1,400. They all do they same thing.
I don't know anyone in this salary bracket that feels "rich" because it's gone on slightly more expensive ****. You are talking 500k+ before you start running out of reasonable stuff to blow money on.

Similar roles would be bioprocess tech, process tech operations tech for the likes of Intel or pfizer etc.

Start wage is about 60k all in which includes everything he listed shift, bonus etc. Hit about 80k after 4 years and 100k after 10. For intel currently you don't even need a degree and they are taking on 1800 people over the next year. A level 6 course in any engineering course or any trade qualification is enough to get you in. The shift work isn't for everyone though.

I know for a fact you don't get 60k starting at Intel.

I have friends in there, average talent wise. From memory they get about 36k all in which includes a 20 or 30% shift allowance. Hour of overtime per shift (half hour cross over going in and out)

Your rota is permanent aswell meaning you could be working christmas day etc.

Not keeping in with the theme of the thread but...work life balance HAS to be taken into consideration for me.

I want to clock off.. I have 2 young kids and I missed a little here and there but I'm not missing anymore.

Production Team lead: light specialised engineering 38k gross, pension 6%, death in service, OT @ time and a half where and when needed. 07:00 - 15:30 Mon - Fri. It can spill outside those hours but only rarely.

I wouldn't trade your 75k or your 100k + car for it. I hail from Cork, didn't over indulge or have the need pay over the top on the mortgage so I'm in the green in that sense.

I am underpaid for my 15 years experience (in team lead not specialised plastics offering) growing or maximizing what I came into, clearly noted and proved, and will be having that conversation soon. But once/if I up tick on my current rate it will loose efficiency on my hourly hitting the higher rate.

But again I'll swap your 75k+ for my 38k efficient + no weekend calls.

I have 12 years approx left on my mortgage.. I like driving.. I think I'd like to drive a bus someday.

High incidence of burnout and it gets exponentially more difficult to keep skills up to date in IT. Ageism is just accepted in some startup circles. If you lose your job at 55 you could be in deep trouble depending on your previous experience. Competing against half of India and China for local positions. Jobs come and go with economic strength.

Salaries can be good in IT but it's not all roses. A thread on IT wages just a few years ago would have looked very different too.


If you worked in IT you wouldn't think either of these

Would echo this about IT. Money can be very good in the right areas but 16 years after getting my degree I am still training constantly. At 50 plus unless you are in management you are considered a dead weight as they can get someone cheaper. Constantly having to change/reskill as what you are doing is being outsourced so you need to look for the new thing. The level of cost on ongoing education (most of it work pay for it) is well over 100k plus post graduation.

It's never ending. Once over 55 if you are at the same level as a GP they will just want to get rid of you unless you are in an in-demand field.

Yea in most circumstances not really with me. I'm not mean by any stretch of the imagination, but i do value money and don't blow it on silly stuff. At 14 my dad stuck me in a kitchen for 3 months to pay for a school tour we couldn't afford so I've learned early the value of money.

I have 3/4 suits about 200/250 quid each, mostly grab a few from TKmaxx when they get nice ones. maybe 10 shirts a year from there or marks so 2k or so on clothes. Few pairs of pants.

I think the most expensive item outside of that i have is a pair of 60 quid Jeans, most of the time i buy t-shirts in TK or Pennys.

The big outlays are Mortgage, and household running, and not that im complaining but remember past 35k im losing 42% of my income on tax

I try and put a lot of it in my pension and pay off mortgage as much as i can.

I do try and get the kids some nice stuff, but only cause i know growing up what it was like without anything, but i do limit the screen time they have for xbox and ipads etc and put a big emphasis on reading etc.

10 years ago in the company i was in i was on 32k in a support function but forced my way into meetings with the senior reps at the time and learned from them and now I would be seen as the most senior.

Hard work and a hell of a lot of luck and being in the right place at the right time.

So you don't even know what the shift allowance is but you know the salaries..

And it's 20 minutes going out only but Mr knows the actual wage hasn't a clue

Base starting is 33 -35k. 4 quarterly bonus 1 yearly bonus. 4 extra potential performance bonus. Yearly RSUs, built in overtime and ****pay

I explained its shift and not for everyone. Believe what you want I know 1st hand so it's your hearsay Vs my fact.

Work very second Christmas/new years.....

You haven't a clue mate

Great post, WLB is a major element of a job that everyone overlooks. I have a friend and she joined google and she is just off the grid now with how hard they're working her.

Whilst my job is deemed highly stressful (target orientated) and it increases year by year so long as you're capable of bringing in the bacon i have complete and utter autonomy. I bring my 3 kids to school most mornings and collect them a lot to whilst wife at home with the smallest.

I've been offered Jobs from the big 4 in IT on multiple occasions but WLB to me is key. I may have to do a few hours every few nights of the week but thats fine by me as i know i can work my day around my family.

I would say in terms of lifestyle and level of responsibility, IT has it far better than medicine.

I don't know of many IT workers routinely doing >24 hour shifts. Unless they're working in a particularly critical area, a seemingly simple mistake or misjudgement in IT isn't going to kill anyone or land them in court either.

Well, sadly my man boobs are not that appealing.

But yea, like i remember when i started in the company i took a call, and only because that particular time at that exact day everyone was out of the office at an event and i was behind doing some support. I took the call and turned it into a 250k sale with 60k profit for the company. This was a long 3 month cycle by my boss let me drive it as I got the initial meeting based on the call.

When we closed that he gave me another account that no-one wanted and subsequently that 30 people company have grown into a 1.5 billion revenue company with 3 data centres and 600 staff.

Hard work and perseverance backed by acumen within the field is a good recipe but the secret ingredient is always timing.

hi!

onrail wrote: »

Thanks. Would any nurse be taking in just the 37k base or are the nights and weekends obligitary?

They are mostly obligatory unless you’re working in an area such as outpatients or operating theatre (however they would have some on call shifts). For the most part if you’re working the wards, ER etc you have to work weekends and nights.

Fair enough. And you may be in an outlier type role. But typically folk on that salary tend to get into a similar lifestyle. Friends in the city on that and constantly broke because the three kids are 60k in fees, 10k on train tickets. All to keep up with their peers on similar. And luckily Dublin is not San Francisco where the cost of living is just insane. You can't afford a house in the valley on 200k. I work in distribution too and if you can get away from that lifestyle its great....

I’m a primary school teacher and earn 42,932per year (Point 5 on the post 2013 scale).

It’s a funny one - as it seems to be a very divisive subject! Truth is probably somewhere in the middle it’s a nice job, with decent salary and great holidays but probably not quite as easy as some people seem to think.

I'm married to a primary school teacher. It's like a lot of civil service jobs, some very much go the extra mile (there's now lots of paper work, outside of teaching) others plod on. A competent principal makes a huge difference.



I'm not trying to be controversial, but underperforming CS employees do, by and large, have it easier to coast, imo.

This is very true, that said I know plenty of teachers who don’t put in that much extra time on their paperwork and are very good teachers and conversely those that kill themselves but just aren’t great in the classroom.
(I teach in special education which is probably a bit different, I’m sure the correlation between hours worked and quality of teaching is much more apparent with a leaving very class)

This 100%. I was in the public sector and my ex still is, I know others too. If you want to do nothing and coast you absolutely can. Not everybody does this - plenty work hard, (and I’m more talking about coasting in admin/it type roles rather than nursing etc) but plenty also coast. Some do absolutely nothing. One woman used to sit there knitting all day. Phone would ring and another lad would lift it and slam it down to stop it ringing and disturbing his newspaper reading. Another would put letters in the shredder rather than having to deal with them. Another would hide in the toilet for an hour if a queue formed, too busy for her you see.
My ex would often just not show up and it was all fine, nobody would notice or care.

So it’s not that all civil servants are lazy, but if they want to be they can and still get paid and get their increments.

Are you a senior registrar?

Also, I suppose 100k is including the 20 hours+ per week over time.

Depends. My week is probably close to 60 hours but 12 of them are on call at home. Earn about 100k minimum per year. More earning potential to come. You can dress present things from many angles...

Intern / SHO is tough ya but you clear 50k as a new graduate.

I posted this in another thread this morning so here it is again.

I get give or take, it works out at about with expenses 140,000 a year and I pay 30.3% tax on that, so it’s about a net 100,000 and out of that 100,000 I run a home in Dublin, Castlebar and Brussels. I wanna tell you something, try it sometime…

I get what you mean, and I also can't compare IT and medicine directly. All I can say is that when, e.g., a system goes down at 4am, you'll be responsible for it and it's in no way relaxed just because people wont die. Especially if money or reputation are on the line...you're working yourself to your max capacity and can be under extreme pressure. Very simple mistakes can cause big problems too.

Obv not all IT jobs are like this but I assume not all jobs in medicine are extremely pressured either.

In retrospect I should have gone into IT.
Higher salary, better lifestyle, relatively low responsibility and no chance of being sued.

If you need "relatively low responsibility and no chance of being sued" you have to get public sector job...
