Cute how people are actually getting excited and look forward to making 20-30k, apparently not knowing that they'll lead a pretty miserable life with that, especially living in London.

Cute how people actually think they will easily earn more than that, apparently not knowing the average starting salary is in that bracket and it is only the minority who earn the crazy amounts being banded about here.

Is expecting a starting salary of 28k ok for software engineers?

Depends on the company. My husband started on 27k couple of years ago in a fairly good company so 28k now sounds about right. I've seen salary offers less than that in other companies though.

I'm not in London, but I am on £20k this year and surviving just fine. Not sure where the idea that you'd live an uncomfortable lifestyle came from.

Nothing less than 25,000 which is less than what I was offered. Upon qualification I expect around 80,000 to 100,000 within ten years. I studied law but I'm not doing the LPC or anything...

What are your living arrangements if I may ask? Because if you live alone in london after tax that salary is quite uncomfortable.

Around 20k starting salary but I would pretty much take anything, and then I would like to work myself up to 40k+. I will be studying Accounting and Finance at university.

Anyone know the average wage for a science teacher at secondary school (including sixth form) some 10 years after getting your PGCE?

ATM: Probably go for just above minimum wage in a health care or admin job whilst doing my MSc :P

Future: Hopefully get a job in (clinical) cognitive neuroscience - probably end up working for a university? circa 50k. Though would prefer to work in a hospital.
Would like to open my own business too- fun stuff.

My starting salary is £30k, promotion after 2/3 years up to £45k-£50k.

Even starting out that high, your quality of life is so poor if you're single and in London with rent the way it is.
