Re: At the height of your career, if you were paid monthly what would you expect?im going to call bull**** here...(Original post by Cura)
I am currently getting paid £10,000 per month working as a PA for my parents.
So would expect at least £50-60k per month (plus bonuses) as I grow older and at the peak of my career. -

Re: At the height of your career, if you were paid monthly what would you expect?£45k per annum, or roughly £3500 per month.
Anything more than that would be unnecessary as far as I'm concerned (£45k is easily enough to live more-than-comfortably), and the jobs that would earn me higher salaries would require more work effort. £45k would be the best balance imo, and I'd be happy earning that as a peak salary. -

Re: At the height of your career, if you were paid monthly what would you expect?I know. CEO of a decent company makes something along those lines.(Original post by I likewinegums)
I'm asking per month, not per year! -

Re: At the height of your career, if you were paid monthly what would you expect?Why would 120k a year be 'fairly easy', but 180k be a 'stretch'? I mean, any of the limited number of jobs capable of paying 120 a year could probably "stretch" to 180, no?(Original post by combbrah)
10-15k a month. 10k a month is do-able fairly easily, 15k would probably be a stretch

Re: At the height of your career, if you were paid monthly what would you expect?Was referring to dentistry, and yes 180k is possible as a dentist, but is pretty uncommon, 120k is do-able as a private dentist with a good amount of experience(Original post by Brevity)

Re: At the height of your career, if you were paid monthly what would you expect?Dentists earn low six figures, and still have the highest suicide rate of any profession? I guess money really can't buy happiness...(Original post by combbrah)

Too bad doctors have highest suicide rate (sad really, stressful job).
That is a myth they actually have a normal suicide rate. -

Re: At the height of your career, if you were paid monthly what would you expect?This is an age old BS myth, physicians have higher suicide rates than dentists. I don't see how you could be suicidal earning 100k+ and working <40hr weeks(Original post by Brevity)

Re: At the height of your career, if you were paid monthly what would you expect?It depends hugely on what I go into. If I go into teaching/criminal law, then perhaps 10K a month as a successful headteacher/judge. If commercial law/banking then far more than that, but if academia then less than that. I have no idea(Original post by I likewinegums)
I'm not talking starting salaries, I'm talking maximum wage, At the height of your career what wage would you expect PER MONTH (assuming it be monthly pay)
I'll start, for me, £1500 per month.
