Just interested in seeing what people do and how much you money you make.

My First IT Job (Which i have not started yet)

£7 an hour doing technical support
I got the job with no previous IT experience

 

I made $11/hr in my first IT job in early '98.

I make more than that now.

 

£2.50 and all the curries I can eat

£7 an hour is ok for your first job matey. My first proper full time job paid £4.95

 

My first year (third year of uni - internship) paid 13, 000 full time. Can't say that it has changed much in the 2 years since much either ;p - thats what happens when u work in the public sector tho.

 

File this under 'Beeswax, none of yours incorporated'

Seriously - that might come across as flippant, but it's a genuine remark - most people are a little bit reticent to give out their salary information.

FWIW, mine is above £40k but below £60k

 

Thats my answer. If someone fancies offering mega bucks then of course I'm willing to consider moving

 

Just enough to sew my coat to my size.

 

Good thing is tho compared to most I get a nice 13 week holiday to boot as well ;)

 

I personally think there's an interesting line that ive certainly found in my career which is that contracting is usually higher paid because of the nature of the contracts.

If your new to the industry you might like to weigh up the pros and cons of that being a perm or job hopping.

 

My Pay is enough for me at the moment, I could be earning more, but am enjoying my role and the team I work with and I am building up the CV in some areas which could use building up and strengthening other areas.

As ive said to people in the past sometimes more money doesnt mean better job, just more money to drown your sorrows with at the end of the week.

 

As someone who keeps their eye on jobs mine is about what I should expect at the moment. Of course, i'd love to earn more, but as everyone says: keep plugging away.

 

Geneva and Zurich have very high salaries for someone working in a bank. For example, a colleague of mine who is highly spcialised and one of 5 in Europe with that partiular skill set, earns about £200k.

Having said that, cost of living is also notoriously high over here, so make of that what you will...
