I would certainly like to be earning the so called average for an IT worker, but I earn significantly less. I do enjoy my job though and get some pretty good benefits (well I consider them good anyway). For a start there is a good pension, the hours are pretty low (37hours a week) and my employer is also very good when it comes to taking time off due to illness (which I had to do quite a bit last year). Finally, it's as secure as a job can be these days and that might be something that is very desirable to have given the current economic climate.

The grass always seems greener elsewhere but it's sometimes good to realise that what you currently have isn't so bad ...

I'm a pimp, and *I'm* not making that much... hmph!

Jealousy is an ugly thing, is it not?

 

Such is the life of a pimp.

 

All you have to do is put the I in PMP: link

 

Why would that make you glad? You should be glad if I was raking in the bucks, which would bode quite well for your career outlook, considering we're both writers. ;)

I will say this: I ain't wealthy... but I ain't poor either.

 

Wow I had no Idea the Euro was so strong, Converting my salary from CAD to Euro.. Ouch Lol.

 

Umm... that was the Christmas tree at Portrait Innovations at Cool Springs Galleria. I bet they'd let me put presents there if I asked nicely...

My Christmas tree is a hand-me-down seven-or-eight foot fake tree that I struggle to get in and out of the box every year.

That said... I am quite content with my work, and the feeling of accomplishment - knowing that I'm helping people to become better techs - is wonderful.

 

*Applause*

 

LMAO you forgot the large pinky ring!

 

I've voted - mine is slightly higher than others for the rather limited role (desktop support) and thats down to having SC clearance.

Had a quick read through the thread and as soon as you mentioned Milton Keynes and DV, I thought it would be the FCO - nearly considered a contracting helpdesk job there for £18ph.

My question, which was touched on earlier in the thread, is it worth keeping the clearance going (ie, staying with SC cleared jobs) or worth throwing it away and getting out into the world??

 

ROFL! Repped!!!

Well played!

 

Interesting article I read today:

According to them you'd be better off with an degree in underwater basket weaving.

 

Lol, what are the US conversions for the amounts listed? Is it still roughly 1 UK to 2 US?

Pretty much, yep.

 

im hoping to get a job in London for 18k or more applied for another today!

 

So there has been 100 votes on this poll.

Do we have an average IT salary amongst the users who voted?

MrM

 

Not as far as I'm aware. You could work it out though if you like. It's got a nice even 100 so knock yourself out
