Data analyst? I think that’s something I could get into with my degree. How many weeks vacation would you get on that?

Kind of. 7 weeks.

It's difficult to plan a route into high paying jobs. Its more about playing the hand you have and to make moves at the right time when the right opportunity comes.
In 5-10 years time the situation could be very different.

So by googling online, I’m finding that the average salary for many professions is 40k ish. I know this can’t be true though as that’s what teachers get soon after starting off and their pay is considered ‘bad’. So if you’d like to answer some of these questions I’d be so grateful:
What’s your job and what salary do you have after how many years experience?
How many hours a week do you work and how many weeks holiday do you get?
Also what degree did you do to secure that job?
Thanks a million for the response

OP the average salary on this thread is 91k so don't settle for anything less at your next interview.

Also just to let you know of other averages on boards:

Height: 6" 8'
Endowment: 11.4 inches
Previous sexual partners: 73

Jurgen The German · 28-11-2019 8:54pm

Working as an auditor for an insurance company, salary is mid 70s incl bonus, 10% pension contribution, phone, use of company car but dont pay BIK thankfully.

Started 10 years ago in a call centre earning €20k, did some exams, made the right moves at the right time and made some good connections. All going well in the next three years I'll have gained a compliance qualification and will have earned some niche experience so will be looking towards 6 figures hopefully.

I'd recommend insurance as a career tbh. You dont need any qualifications for entry level positions and if you have a bit of cop on you can get a qualification in a couple of years and move into an insurer. The amount of different avenues is huge, from sales to underwriting or compliance. A commercial underwriter with 4 or 5 years experience would be looking at €60k base upwards. If you have a flair for sales broking can be very lucrative.

FluffyTowel · 28-11-2019 9:07pm

About 130k per year as a consultant in a fairly nichey area. I sometimes wonder if I'm worth it. But - then I stop wondering and head back to my heart-attack-by-my-40s-job.

Edit: worked my ass off to get here though.

I'm working on .Net (C#) at the moment but it varies from job to job. Previous role was Angular.

One thing I would mention is that you have to do what you are asked in this game. That can drive some people mental. I've had to implement some awful stuff in my time as a contractor. I would have shot it down in a few minutes when I worked as a PSE but I have to plug away with it as a contractor. Food for thought for you.

Data Analyst titles have become a catch-all term for all sorts of jobs but the kind of work I think you are thinking of that pays very well in most cases is more Data Scientist work which is more complicated than just reporting or modeling the data. That said it does seem on the low end for the years of experience.

Sky King · 28-11-2019 9:44pm

Wow, depressing. Im on a sh*t salary it seems. Fcukin do engineering they said. You'll be rich they said.

By the looks of things i could have saved myself a whole lot of effort, done some bullsh!t arts degree and just been a pleb teacher and after im done babysitting a class full of turds i vould be home by fukin 4pm every day. Sweet pension as well.

Ah well. Live and learn.

TuringBot47 · 28-11-2019 9:50pm

Honours computer science degree and 25+ year experience in solid software development, the last 20 years in Java/J2EE.

€97k basic, health insurance, matches 5% pension contributions.
Fairly standard Dublin salary in I.T. with that much experience.

But you won't get that staying with the one employer or they'll only pay you 1-3% pay rises "in line with inflation". So you need to ditch employers every so often for proper market rate rises.

We've some fairly useless "senior engineers" with a degree and a couple of years experience on €65k too.

My role is rather varied.

I'm the sys admin for our BI platform as I'm the most technical in the team and had some experience with Linux before. I'd also do ETL development on our platform, write SQL packages, and do some modelling, along with automated jobs.

It's not a data scientist role (although starting to do small things there and I have Python experience), but more a data analyst/business intelligence analyst/sys admin role combination.

Salary Negotiator · 28-11-2019 10:18pm

Arts degree in Maths and post grads in Business Management and Data Analytics.

I’ve about 12 years work experience with 3 12 month breaks spent travelling.

Currently working as a Pricing Manager for a MNC, total package is about €67K, I’ve been doing that almost 2 years and ready for a change but the work is easy so not too motivated to actually leave.

I did three years in plc college with childcare and Montessori qualifications. Preschool teacher. 5 years experience, work 40hrs per week and on 22,500 gross per year!

As I'm not in my 20's anymore, seeing all these wages are depressing me!!

Edit to add: standard 20 days hols plus all bank holidays in the year.

joseywhales · 28-11-2019 11:53pm

Write code for a trading team from home 600gbp per day to me, I think I could find more with a bit of work, take very little holidays maybe 10 per year, so about 140 gbp. Would like to do something else but I can't ignore the money for now.

Edit:

Education: ba + msc theoretical physics
Exp: 9 years
No benefits, contractor
45 hours per week
Work from home

I find teachers pay varies, a friend of mine was a teacher for years in a Dublin primary school, now shes the principal and on 85k+

Seems an awful lot for a principal?

I am studying a TV/Media production course next year, Bachelor 3 year course.

Does anyone know what sort of wages you would be on? For example an Editor/TV production person,

The camera crew jobs seem quite low, although maybe that depends where you're based. Obviously the goal would be to get into somewhere popular.

I know a retired secondary principal whose final salary was €120K, seems like a lot but he had 120 odd people to manage and over 1000 students.

Seems to have been good at it you, respected by teachers, students and the wider community.

Principal gets regular teacher pay plus allowance.

Allowance depends on size of school, I think.

https://www.tui.ie/welcome-to-our-website/common-basic-scale-wef-1110.5776.html

Max principal allowance is 41,469.

Max teacher pay is 64,302.

So very few principals on 100k.

One thing I'd love about being a teacher would be the hours and the holidays. I know you'd probably spend a bit correcting etc but still

Probably a very silly question but how long does a person usually stay in college for to become a primary school teacher/secondary school?

29-11-2019 12:20am

Either boards has a very high percentage of the top earners or there's a lot of bull**** being typed here

Turkish1 · 29-11-2019 12:20am

In Finance, 5 years PQE accountant. €110k basic, 20% on top. Its definately about moving every so often (2-3 years optimal in my view) in the early part of your career. First move went from 40k to €55k basic, second went to €72k from €59k basic and third went from €92k to €110k.

Financial services a good place to be if looking for decent salary although I moved out of it recently.

You can do a four year undergraduate degree, or if you have a degree already it’d be faster to do a 2 years professional masters in education

From my own personal experience and from talking to other devs I know, €65K is a very common salary for senior developers. The last organisation I worked in as a permie, had salary brackets in place and €65k was the max for a senior developer. €80K was the max for a lead and €100K, I believe, was the max for a PSE.

Uuntil a few months ago I had a high level position at a national sporting organisation. Salary 360K a year, rent paid for too. Got in a spot of bother recently though, so had to move on. Got a bit too liberal with the company credit card if you know what I mean.

I'll miss the pints with the lads something fierce.
