I’m currently earning 31k. I aim to be 45k by the time i’m 30 at least which is 2 ‘promotions’ away. I am just wondering if this is a standard wage
nowadays or if I’m doing better than most. I’m 25 this year and i’m very conscious of my progress

That said I made the same as that when I was the same age as you. That was over a decade ago.
By 30, back in 2014 I was on over £50k.
So they aren't so ambitious figures but good enough. Are you a uni grad?

Depends on who you are comparing against, surely? The UK average? Doctors? Engineers? The average 25y/o working in Worcestershire?
The UK average: yeah, you're doing great. Well done, pat on the back, etc.
Other people with a degree working in London in a field with high earnings potential: It would be considered very low.
Without knowing a bit about your background I don't think anyone can provide a suitable benchmark.

£50,000 equivalent to nearly $70,000 in USD. America pays really well!
