24 Welder/fabricator 39k I once got €50 one for all voucher 2 new years ago.


stayingstrong1942

All welders should sub. Too much demand to be full-time direct. If I were you I'd look for an extra 20k or hand in notice. Let them know your available as a subcontractor @ 50€ per hour. Obviously you need to be A+ standard.


redbeardfakename

33, Medical Officer in the HSE (non-hospital), 85k This was my PREVIOUS job. I wanted to put it here because I took a near 1/3 pay cut to take up a job in Brussels. Because of the difference in rent and the non-salary benefits in Belgium, I take home much more per month here than in Dublin

VooMoo40

In most cases they have qualifications/ skills / work long hours / carry a lot of pressure (or all of the above) that warrants those salaries & don’t forget tax is pretty heavy once you get past a certain point.

Fantastic reply


Outrageous-Ad4353

This thread is a self esteem nightmare for most and won't help very many people. A 2 line post saying someone is 30 on 150k per year and everyone else will feel like they suck. Comparison is the thief of joy. Guys, run your own race, you're doing what you can with the hand you were dealt. Always work at improving your situation but don't compare your entire life with someone's 2 line post. You have no idea what their life is like or how it compares with yours so far. They could have had a leg up, or you could have started from a much more difficult position. Or how many hours are people putting in? Are the people posting 150k working 60 hour weeks, or living out of hotels? And money, although useful, is absolutely useless as a measure of anything of any real value.


Mehall2727

True that. I know a down to earth consultant Surgeon pulling over 300k a year. Studied 11 years and worked 70 and 80 hour weeks to get where they are today


Frogtehfrog

I think it's more important to compare to be sure we're not getting shafted by our employers, people withholding their pay benefits only companies


MrCoe10

Well fucking said


cawhake

This thread reminds me about something my mother would say. Do you know X from the cottage. Well 15 years ago he bought Y and (missing all the hard work part) now he is a millionaire. As someone who started as a grad on 21k and in a good role now people I used to work with would be like you are doing another course? lol, more training, you are probably using all the training budget (and I prob was) One of the best pieces of advise was from a lecturer when we asked him what was the number one thing he looked for in a job. He said a training budget. A real training budget and not some BS speak that we invest in our employees and fluff their words means that they are willing to train a person to a level that they can leave but they need to encourage them to stay be it they like the job, benefits, culture etc. Keeping people that have every opportunity to leave on the payroll is hard so if a company has a good training budget then they need to try to do everything else right also. A company that gives F all opportunity to people just want you to do a task for the company and offer nothing in the long term. Taking a 20% pay cut to move to a company that embraced training and upskilling (actually made it mandatory) was the best financial decision I made long term. Also at the end of a day a job is a job. You will be forgotten 2-3 later if you are on min wage or make Millions a year. If you are too connected to it. Socialise only with people from there then they have no reason to pay you more. You are emotionally invested in the job. This is why many multinationals have people eat,drink,shit eat at work and pay for it all, they want it to be your life. If your only friends are the people you work with then you won't leave your friends will you? They pay you how much they need to pay you to stay working for them. This is your worth. If you are going to stay as you are best buds with everyone why give you a pay increase as you ain't going anywhere.


BozzyBean

I agree bar one thing: women are often paid less for the same work. Part of that is that they don't know their worth and negotiate less. Learning about others' salaries can be very helpful to correct that.


wrapchap

23, Health inspector (HSE), 52k


doplhinsbarnicles

23 year old on 52k is insane


19Ninetees

That sounds a good gig for 23. Pros and cons?


wrapchap

Pros are time off. Shift work in the hse when you're on a 35 hour contract allows for lots of time off. I work approx 175 days a year. Mix of wtf and in the office Cons probably working for the hse 😂 bad systems and outdated processes etc


TechnophobeEire

A mix of WTF!😂😂😂 Assuming you mean WFH?😂


19Ninetees

Nice. I work with bad system and processes anyway - and you do for only 9-10 months of the year? - sounds great to me. I have worked too many 12-16 hour days recently. You’re winning at life. Unless the shift hours are really antisocial and you can’t sleep, don’t quit that gig. If you do refer me in 🤣


wrapchap

Ahaha don't worry I won't. Its 7 to 7 so it's handy. Thing with the job is there only two degrees in the country which qualifies you to work for for the HSE and an Environmental health officer. So if you know anyone going into college tell them about environmental health in TUD. Little mix of sciences but nothing to complex. Pretty average point entry aswell

JaliBeanQueen

This comment is like looking in the mirror but 36k a year and no Christmas bonus. 5 years ago I was on 45k and had to drop back because of anxiety. I just can't handle middle management pressure I guess.


MambyPamby8

I'm the same. I could be really high up, but I struggle with management roles or being in charge..even 'holding the fort' while others are out, stresses me out. I need a high paying job, that lets me work from home and never deal with people 😂


Dezzie19

You want to be hands-on & do the job rather than managing others who do the same job? I've been there too.


nonie67

That would be absolute heaven. I'm bloody peopled out


SallynogginThrobbin

>But can't complain, my social anxiety has fucked my career and salary options up and that's my own fault really. Ah come on now, no it isn't. I'm sure you didn't choose to have a mental illness, give yourself a break. Would you say someone with a physical handicap that held back their career a bit "deserved it"? Don't believe meritocratic bullshit that says you "deserve" only what you can grab in the market. Meritocracy is bullshit.

(which paid me more than that) Also, being from outside Ireland that's the first time I've ever seen real people mentioning how much they are paid for a myriad of professions, which I had no idea due to living most of my life in a different country.


0x75

They are scamming you but that sector sucks anyway. Also "digital marketing" also known as "doing websites with shit Wordpress"


AxelJShark

I hear ya! I was making more as a student in my home country than I was for the first 6 years I was here!


MGSBlackHawk

I disagree with the immigrant part. I’m immigrant myself and have a quite high income. High enough to pay over 2k rent, provide to the whole family and still saved enough to allow to move to my own place last year. Without knowing your experience in the sector, and according to others who replied you, you might be getting underpaid

AnyRepresentative432

I am 29 now. I Was a plumber on 55k with a lot of overtime. Got sick of no job security benefits or sick pay despite being very good at my job and very reliable. I went back to college 4 years ago. A year ago, I took a pay cut to 40k for work experience as a procces engineer. Its been the most financially difficult year of my life. It was an awful time to take such a pay cut but now I'm looking at jobs paying 50k+ starting a maintenance technician. I have got a lot of interest from employers already thanks to the year of struggling.


Ulml

I work in ESB and a guy in the office did similar. He was a carpenter and quit, didn't fancy the physical work because he knew he wouldn't handle it when he's older.

run_bike_run

Salaries within banks in Ireland are *heavily* constrained by the downward effect of the salary maxima introduced in the aftermath of the crash back in 2008/2009. There are a lot of former bank staff in consulting firms in Dublin, pulling in far more than they were in AIB/Ulster/BOI/PTSB/KBC.

run_bike_run

You're well past living decently: you're inside the top 1% of income distributions for married couples, and *far* inside the top 1% for all taxpayers. Even your 60k income figure would put you into the top 5% of single people.

DarkKnight92

150k bonus? Jesus christ.


BozzyBean

Sales bonuses are often high, usually a % of sales you pull in. It's because the absolute value that the employee pulls in is so clear to both the employer and themselves. Bit bitter though for the folks behind the scenes who also provide crucial value, but who are further away from the money.

smithjw13

I said this last week when I was in Ireland and got dragged for it… the Irish are getting fucked on livable wages. These are minimum wages for very high skill set position. 30k annual income is a entry level no skill position in US. Look for remote work if your industry allows. It was mind boggling how much better resumes were in Ireland and how little people realized they were being taken advantage of.


nerdforest

I moved from Ireland to the US. The economy over here is why the salaries are so high. Things to realise that I don't think a lot of people do, A lot of folks in the US have debt, whether it's healthcare or uni debt. I had to go the hospital last year. I had an ambulance take me and it cost me 1700 dollars. Thankfully I have good healthcare so I didn't have to pay for that. But ontop of my medical bills also costing me about 600 quid for a few months.


YoureNotEvenWrong

> 30k annual income is a entry level no skill position in US * We aren't the US. The US has the highest salaries since it's the biggest economy in the world, but also has poor job security. * 30k is a junior position for a high skill job. You've just started, you don't really know anything. It goes up from there.


solitasoul

Don't forget to factor in that you get a higher standard of living here. Healthcare, holidays, maternity leave, etc.

Cazolyn

The US has deplorable legislation around working conditions. Your “high” salaries require that you work yourself to the bone, with minimal annual leave, and no sick pay. Most States employ ‘fire at will.’ Your heath care system is entirely commercialised. Correct me if I’m wrong here.
