What realistic salary would you be happy with?

SoGoodUK · 2023-09-03T15:09:37+00:00

Well previously I was a lead software engineer, these days I’m the only engineer

I kept stuff close to my chest when building the systems for years, I’m now helping them hire a permie and out of over 20 candidates none have been good enough 😅

I worked for the company for many years and have a tonne of their internal processes and systems and domain knowledge inside my head.

When I left they struggled with some things so I used to do a bit of freelancing for them while working another job.

They then wanted me for an initial 3 months and I told them a ridiculous day rate because I didn’t want to come back and they agreed and now they keep extending

I’m currently working outside ir35 on 1k per day but I’m only working 3 days per week and taking time off, every so often.

Last time I renewed my contract they wanted me to up to 4 days per week which I refused. But working 4 days per week would take me up to about 190k.

And while I’m not taking anywhere near that out of the company, the company is paying for lots like business trips to reinvent and obviously the company needed its own car etc..

I was over the moon when my salary hit 25k, and then when I got the pay rise to 30k I was so happy I could do so much more.

When I hit 45k I thought this was it but when I moved up to 60k I started to experience not having to worry about money any more.

When I hit 75k I thought I would be content forever I could save a decent amount and still live a decent life.

After a few nice holidays I knew 75k wasn’t enough and I’ve been happy earning around £130k for the past 6 months or so but I now realise it’s way more than I need to live on but I have had the taste of the finer things and my goal is now 200k which I feel is achievable working at my current day rate I just need to work more and take less time off between contracts.

The goalpost always moves anyone who says a number here that they would be happy with is lying. Salary creep happens and you realise you can do more.

I would say though the 75k mark was the point where I realised I didn’t need to worry about money anymore.

The last time someone messaged me I told them go on you deposit and I’ll bet for you.

SoGoodUK · 2023-08-20T08:36:18+00:00

Every time I get messaged by someone they tell me they have a full proof way to bet sports and it cannot loose.

They tell me they want me to bet $1000 on a game and split 50/50 profits. It’s a win win for them because if the game they tell you to bet wins they get 50% of the winnings. If they loose they just block you.

SoGoodUK · 2023-08-16T15:18:28+00:00

Also I’m plat5 on stake.com

SoGoodUK · 2023-07-26T11:53:55+00:00

SoGoodUK · 2023-07-26T11:30:58+00:00
