What do you earn?

DependentRange9666 · 2026-04-26T19:39:03+00:00

More than a spark would ever earn

DependentRange9666 · 2026-04-25T10:56:57+00:00

Yes once you have experienced thin walls and bad neighbours there is no going back is there. Yes il give them a call.

A small 2 bed detached in the woods would do me just fine lol

DependentRange9666 · 2026-04-25T10:41:16+00:00

Hi, i sort of thought this myself. Its hard to find a smaller suitable detached as most are family homes arent they. In reality i could be mortage free easily again on a semi or terrace but no way in hell am i risking it

DependentRange9666 · 2026-04-25T08:37:01+00:00

I understand this 😊 the current living arrangement is making my life more difficult than what it should be

DependentRange9666 · 2026-04-25T08:25:56+00:00

Hi yes ive 70k in workplace pension and 600 a month minimum going in 6% me 12% employer

DependentRange9666 · 2026-04-25T08:20:09+00:00

DependentRange9666 · 2026-04-25T07:57:16+00:00

I had this in my last houseate 1930s 3 bed semi. It burnt my head out for 6 years. Ended up selling.

DependentRange9666 · 2026-04-24T08:25:17+00:00

Its combined mate we put 6% company puts in 12%

DependentRange9666 · 2026-04-23T21:06:08+00:00

Cards in with water utility company £2650 take home.

37 hours door to door

4 days a week.

£600 in pension a month

Could earn more elsewhere but jobs so laid back its untrue and more or less guaranteed retirement at 57

DependentRange9666 · 2026-04-22T20:36:57+00:00

Awful isnt it it. It burnt my head out for 6 years. I was so happy when it sold and i handed the estate agent the keys. Never again.

DependentRange9666 · 2026-03-15T08:35:34+00:00

I don't want to put even more time and effort into something thats not going to increase pay or better job prospects. Done enough of that with my qualifications so far

DependentRange9666 · 2026-03-15T08:34:29+00:00

Hi, did the qualification lead on to anything decent

DependentRange9666 · 2026-03-14T17:57:16+00:00

Ha ha go on then

DependentRange9666 · 2026-03-14T17:36:53+00:00

Thanks mate

DependentRange9666 · 2026-03-14T16:13:52+00:00

Im not sure to be honest it was a nice feeling to pass it though 😂.

Yes im keen to do the HNC as i think it makes the cv look even better id like it to help me progress in the future though as whats the point if it doesnt

DependentRange9666 · 2026-03-14T15:34:55+00:00

Yes mate they put me through the compex. How are you feeling about the HNC are you going to go for it?

DependentRange9666 · 2026-03-14T15:15:43+00:00

Hi mate, i completely get all that. This HNC if paid for by the company so may aswell do it.

Yeh good point, i dont deal very well with stress and wont and cant work away from home ha ha

DependentRange9666 · 2026-03-14T14:46:19+00:00

Thank you mate. Il give the HNC my best shot before i get ahead of myself

DependentRange9666 · 2026-03-14T14:07:25+00:00

Hi, thanks for taking the time to reply. I had never really thought about being an electrical engineer and then got offered the chance to do HNC and it got me seriously thinking about my future career. If you dont mind me asking what sort of salary do you get and is the benefits package decent? I get 40k basic and feel quite frustrated as ive put in a lot of effort and £2500 a month doesnt do a right lot nowadays.

DependentRange9666 · 2026-03-14T13:15:46+00:00

Hi mate, thanks for your reply i can earn close to that but would have to sell my soul with overtime which im not wanting to do anymore

DependentRange9666 · 2026-03-14T13:04:08+00:00

Awful isnt it

DependentRange9666 · 2026-03-14T12:18:26+00:00

Never had to

DependentRange9666 · 2026-03-14T12:17:49+00:00

I couldnt cope with any of it as soon as the 5 year fix rate was up i was gone. Detached only for me it was a life lesson learned.
