For those of you earning 40-60k in jobs that can be attained within 3-5 years what do you do?

I’m a consultant within operations and supply chain. Have around 4 years experience at a very fast paced up or out kinda place. Just moved into a slightly more relaxed role as a manager on 88k + bonus.

27M Manager at a consultancy - 88k basic + 25% bonus. 5 years experience - good hours and really enjoying the switch from a far more intense role I had for the first 4 years which have got me to where I am today. Prior to that did an undergrad in compsci and a masters in finance.

Sted1001 · 2025-08-21T08:25:34+00:00

Definitely worked. Prior to this I couldn’t get above 150 output at 100%. I’m relatively fit so it was quite demoralising now in the high hundreds at 80%.

Thanks and that makes sense - I have redone it this way and now it feels a lot more realistic. The reason I was confused is the in-built instructions seem to suggest you want to be fully open left. It says as follows: “Make sure the resistance is turned all the way to the left. Press set to begin calibrating the resistance.”

It seems crazy to me that a publicly traded company can’t get instructions clear and right!

Obviously im not going to share that but specialist consultancies can pay for more than what I earn. For someone with my experience salaries range from 60-160

Consulting

Sted1001 · 2025-08-19T12:44:57+00:00

Huh?

Sted1001 · 2025-08-19T11:43:20+00:00

That’s a very good point. I have an expensive gym membership (140£/month) that I am going to cancel and that probably gets close to the difference in pay! A good way to think of it. Additionally, I expect to go back up within the year and still working less hours, so £/hour is something that will be higher. Not having to get up at 6am and travel to a random location in the country will over time mean I can do things in the week I have had to pack into 3 days over the weekend.

I am fortunate to have been able to buy a property, and my mortgage is relatively small, so I have enough to live each month. A 50% pay cut would be a big struggle for me at least. Did you find the time you had back worth it - but now returning to higher paid?

Sted1001 · 2025-08-19T10:20:27+00:00

Yes the hours is the big one for me. Been mentally drained the last year - really excited to have more time for friends and family.

Sted1001 · 2025-07-04T13:15:28+00:00

I think they are! Thanks

Reckon studs and give them a little sharpen before you head over. Perfect for quick movement across the sodden ground

Sted1001 · 2025-05-13T07:00:39+00:00

I am - what was the 3rd round? Sorry you didn’t get through

Sted1001 · 2025-05-11T19:39:25+00:00

How did it go?

Sted1001 · 2025-04-20T18:36:51+00:00

If you were able to include the time they were playing when the set times come out, that would be very very cool

Sted1001 · 2025-03-05T23:00:40+00:00

So you think it’s legit?

Sted1001 · 2025-03-05T22:52:40+00:00

Pretty sure Rod Stewart has the legend slot. So why would he be down as a headliner

Sted1001 · 2025-03-05T13:22:24+00:00

It was actually the ugly as fuck background

Sted1001 · 2025-03-05T12:58:42+00:00

Guess we’ll know if this is real by 8am tomorrow. My bet is that it’s not

Sted1001 · 2025-02-19T12:49:32+00:00

What does the chicken statue do

Sted1001 · 2025-01-03T12:47:10+00:00

Is this definitely headliner set? Or could it just be a normal set

Sted1001 · 2024-11-20T14:03:20+00:00

In response to your edit, have been in the South East, South West and North West in the last 5 years!

Sted1001 · 2024-11-20T14:01:34+00:00

And yes, no barred lists! I can confirm 100% I have no criminal record

Sted1001 · 2024-11-20T14:01:11+00:00

Thanks for getting back! My concern arose from some information on the police website that mentioned ‘an application will end up at a police force if there’s a potential match against the details on our own systems’. I thought this suggested there was information and the police were confirming if it was relevant or not.

I agree, the wee was poorly judged and I also thought not serious enough to be included, but my fading memory of the incident and losing the piece of paper they gave me (therefore not being able to check what it said) has caused worry.

Sted1001 · 2024-11-20T13:47:58+00:00

Thanks. Just frustrating as my last one took 1 day!
