    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.

    That’s awful for your qualification, is there any other jobs you could apply for?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    What type of engineering are you working in, how much experience, and what salary range?

    I could imagine the tax man looking at the figures internet people say they earn then the figures they really earn and laughing.

    I’m a plumber but I’m only on the building site or in this house to help a friend out and I am not charging for the help. I’m a good guy.

    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.

    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 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.

    I suppose when you think of it like that it makes sense actually, the responsibility alone

    Principal gets regular teacher pay plus allowance.

    Allowance depends on size of school, I think.

    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?

    I work in position where I get to see how much a large amount of people earn.

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

    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.

    Typically 4-6 years.
