    I’d love to know how they come to those figures. I managed a team of Maitenance technicians who were all on 60-80k a year. That list says 35k

    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 :)

    Do you work in our HR department by any chance ?

    Teachers start on 36,953.

    Few of them start on full-hours.

    Many spend years on part hours.

    Their pay is not considered bad.

    Work as a technical sales engineer and have a degree.

    I work 8 to 4.30 Monday to Friday.

    Base pay is 45k but I get decent bonuses so come out with around 60-70k a year depending on company performance.

    I'm coming up on 4 years in this line of work, 29 years old.

    Fair play! Hopefully I'll be following that one day lol

    €35K, excluding OT and bonus payments, is accurate for that role.

    I work in IT Sales, doing it 20+ years. I work at the higher end of the spectrum chasing deals worth €500k +. Wouldn’t be on the radar if the deal was under €50k. You’d be expected to pull in €5M + a year in new business.

    Basic Salary 96K OTE 155K, car allowance 12k pa + 4K for family healthcare and 5% employer pension contribution. Mobile phone paid for etc.

    It’s a tough number but I’ve made 180/190k some years and you could be nearly losing your job other years.

    The stress of it all isn’t for everyone and it’s not for me but it’s all I know.

    I presume you do work for the EU (politics or something) but that's a pretty decent wage to be honest.

    EDIT : Actually saw that it was a joke of some sort so ignore..

    I would imagine Dublin and to a lesser extent Cork skew that though. There's a big disparity in salaries between them and the rest of the country.

    Funnily enough for many professions there isn't as big of a gap as you would think. In my profession - Consultant Engineer - there is a difference of a few k between Dublin and Cork , but nowhere near enough to cover the difference in housing costs, commuting times etc. And similarly if someone from Cork was to take a job in Waterford, Limerick or Tipperary there would not be much of a difference in salary at all, but house prices could vary significantly.

    Can I ask what tech you are using? I’m a JavaScript developer with 14 months experience under my belt. I’d love to try contracting in a few years.

    Then it’s not accurate to be fair. If your wage is base+shift+OT+bonus. That’s what your paid for the role, most MTs would be on shift in my experience.

    43k, BA in management but only a level 5 in my current area, IT.
    My last job was brilliant pay but the pressure and lifestyle was horrible, would have been an early grave.
    Moved into IT in Mayo, zero stress, loads of perks, no commute, very cheap housing.

    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.

    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
