40 hours a week and 100k... dentist

Other than that... your having a giraffe

[Spudler]

School Head.

[soad]

Lawyer (of the blood sucking type). Job done, next question.

[Famous Graham]

ATC.

Well, I think the top bods get to 90k or so anyway.

[Justayellowbadge]

Pretty much most reasonable contract gigs - that's £420 a day.

[ewenm]

40hrs per week for say 48 weeks a year = 1920 hours so about £52 an hour to earn £100k - various IT contractors will earn more than that, but then you have to pay Tax and 2 lots of NI out of it.

The depressing truth is, when you earn £100k a year, you will not feel any better off than you do now.

Really?!

I'm sure there's quite a big difference between a £20K salary and a £100K salary.

'Single mum' seems to pay well if this afternoons post are to be believed.

Outgoings have a horrible habit of rising to meet your incomings.

All the lawyers I know and use work a whole lot longer than 40 hours a week, mind you their fees are huge current project looks like £300k in legal fees for us and £700k for the otherside. That buys 2 sites and delivers 2 public buildings

But it is about what you want to achieve.

If you want the extra salary to blow on nicer things, bigger house etc, you won't feel 'financially' better off.

If you want to increase your salary to boost savings and be more confident in your ability to cover future requirements (kids, family holidays, etc) then you will feel better off.

If I had an extra £1.5k flowing into my savings each month, I would feel better. But not sure I would feel better if I bought a new house with an extra bedroom and a conservatory if I still had to sweat and work my arse off to meet the mortgage payments.

I've found it can happen, but only after you've done a few years (at least) doing long hours and lots of unpaid overtime. That builds up the experience and network, so then, if you are determined enough, you can step into a role that is more sensible hours but still well paid. Managing to do so without putting in the graft up front is much more difficult.
