How do you quantify good?

anonymus1268 · 27-10-2014 06:35PM

I am also interested in the answers. In my case, "good" would mean making 400 net per week, as a minimum.

Working in Medical devices as a process operative. Wages would be very decent in some of the better places. Leaving Cert is minimum standard.

EIREAROEIRE · 28-10-2014 11:10PM

Jesus you've fair high expectations if you want 500 after tax straight off the bat. Recently got a job with Fexco earning €10 an hour before taxes and getting maybe 5 days of 9-5 a week. Whatever that boils down to.

That's illegal under the working hours act, can't do anymore than 48 per week, 40 normally.

Have you any quallifications or experience?

To net €500 per week, you'd need a gross salary of €32,000

ah here, you should be an astronaut because your heads on another planet. if jobs like that existed there would be no need for college.

muboop1 · 28-10-2014 11:28PM

Lidl/Aldi/Dunnes assistant managers earn that plus.

Don't need a degree. But will work hard.

It's illegal to work those hours week after week, are you self employed?

RossieMan · 28-10-2014 11:33PM

theres no where you can just walk into and get a job like that.

Stick with the imaginary job you have i'd say.

Last_Minute · 28-10-2014 11:40PM

Armed forces - pay can be pretty decent after a few years service and it's an easy life.

€500 after tax jobs are few and far between unless you became a manager or have some sort of skill/degree. Have you any skill so to speak or some experience in anything?

Mrs OBumble · 29-10-2014 01:03AM

Lads - behave.

No abuse, eg calling people nobs. No text speak, eg "u" instead of "you".

Keep it civil and literate, or warnings will be given.

Legally the Max you can do is an average of 48

Fair enough but jumping straight into a €500 after tax is not realistic unless your either skilled or got degrees stuff like that lidi or aldi are offering €11 an hour or you could go for the managers jobs they often offer.

Regularly do 72hr weeks, the tax is unreal though. That was working in both the public and now in the private sector. Average 50hr weeks atm.

A 4th year apprentice electrician still takes home over €500 net per week for a flat 39hr week. That's a €16.47 per hour but you can't exactly just walk into it but you don't need a degree, just understand some basic maths, physics and chemistry.

I see a lot of folk referencing the fact that it is illegal to work more than 48hrs. I can tell you in the real world that piece of legislation doesn't matter one iota.
Successful people are literally always at work. 12hrs a day, weekends, you name it. The money goes to those that are 'engaged' in what they are doing and engaged means overtime

It's an average over the year, not just 48 hours max

bilbot79 · 29-10-2014 02:04AM

Point still stands. There are laws about how much break you should have but these days lunch is for wimps etc. Companies won't force you to work hard but they can refrain from promoting you.

For most people it becomes a personal choice between work and life, for some people work is life

decent wages
