I recently got offered a job doing something similar to what I’m doing now but for an 8k pay rise. The caveat was it was only 2-11 shifts and I love having my evenings for doing things after work but I’m starting to second guess as that money would have been great. Is it only shifted jobs that offer this kind of extra money in this industry or could I find something that pays like this for regular, non anti-social shifts?

There are other jobs ut there that have regular shifts. I wouldn't have taken that role for only 8k more. At the end of the day that isn't enough of an amount to even see much of a difference on your pay checks.

Yeah that’s true, I’m hoping I can get another job like that in the near future with better hours.

Totally get why you’re second guessing—£8k is no small jump. But your time and how you live outside of work matters too. I’ve seen that higher pay doesn’t only come with anti-social hours, though it can sometimes feel that way. If you hold out a bit longer or keep your feelers out, you might find a better balance. It’s not impossible, just trickier.

Yeah it would be enough to definitely make a difference but my free time is so important to me I don’t think I could have made that jump.

I once asked a colleague at a radio company how much he's paid monthly, and he outright refused to tell me. In fact, he found it very odd that I asked. I later learned that he was making double my salary. I know it's not an employee's job to fix pay inequity by sharing their salary figures, but I'm still of the opinion that it helps uncover pay gaps. But do you think it's wise to do so at the risk of damaging your work environment or the whole thing backfiring on you? Thoughts are welcome.
