Clock in/Clock off jobs - 45-50k
Discussion
Technician for some rail companies is £40-46k depending wether you're a tech or lead tech.
Ontop of that I earned an extra £8k in bonuses and overtime last year and only actually did overtime for 4 months of the year (busy for the last 8).
The job finishes when you clock out. 38 hour weeks and 33 days holiday.

Not sure how much this applies in the UK.
Good friend just became a Uber Black driver in the States (California), after 25 years in mid level corporate roles. It required special licensing, a couple of month wait and a $60k Escalade.
Now makes over $3k a week, says he has never been happier.

Uber is on its arse over here. What with the pandemic killing trade you also have the recent court ruling that may make it less lucrative for drivers.Good friend just became a Uber Black driver in the States (California), after 25 years in mid level corporate roles.

A few years back my brother-in-law tried it in London when times were good and he struggled to make it pay anything decent unless you caned the hours and worked at irregular times. Deffo not 9-5 easy life, more like 70 hours at all hours.
Op, do not do this…

Train Driver.
You’re not wrong.A friend of mine was in the motor trade for years, constantly switching dealerships, chasing the dream of decent money, working weekends and generally hating it. He went for a job as a train conductor as a bit of a joke, but when he started looking into it, and was offered it, he has never looked back.
He is now a driver.
He get so well looked after, can turn up for a shift, and be told not needed, go home and still get paid. Some days he does one trip, then home, you get the idea.
He’s been off for nearly 2 years on full pay after he had a “one under”. His union told him he must take time off and although he felt ok with it, he was given counselling and after care. His employer still feels he needs more time off, despite him asking many times to return. They are extremely nervous about anyone who has suffered his experience.
He can’t believe how well looked after and protected he is.

No, I wasn't. I hated the pressure. I'm trying to get away from a role in which a boss is hovering over me, demanding s
t all the time.I think we'd all take one of those.
The contractor suggestion isn't a bad one, as the poster said the politics disappear, you can move between companies so it keeps things fresh, and you can take a break between contracts to have refresh.

Hang on, what's a 9-day working fortnight? What does that mean?
I read that as you will be working 9 days out of 14, so including weekends. i.e 6 days week 1, 3 days week 2 or 9 days straight with 5 days off after. Depends how shifts are structured.
Train driver is a good call but shift work isn't for everyone. OP sounds like he wants the unobtainium easy life, not leaving the house at 9pm on a Saturday to start his night shift.....

For the type of role the OP is after it’s mon to fri week 1 and mon to Thursday week 2. No shifts unless your doing some of the more hands on jobs.i.e 6 days week 1, 3 days week 2 or 9 days straight with 5 days off after. Depends how shifts are structured.
They just do slightly longer days to get the hours in

You may well find the lower down the salary/pay level you go the more stress and demand you are put under and make a mistake and you’re out with plenty willing to step in.
The chances of finding a job paying £45k with a low stress and clock in/off mentality are close to nil.
Other than the options given above.The chances of finding a job paying £45k with a low stress and clock in/off mentality are close to nil.
