Agree. Think it’s a case of people having friends who are bankers/lawyers etc and looking up to their lifestyles and not realising that if you’re single and don’t have children £60k is a good salary (yes … even if renting in London)

Depends plenty of factors:
1. are you single?
2. Do you have kids?
Do you have student loan?

Then
1. Can you save money?
2. Live alone?
3. Travel as much as you want?

Believe it or not, I moved into London on 30k in beginning of 2022 and was fine. Sure I lived in zone 3 and didn’t go put everyday but I was quite comfortable in a house share.

I am currently on 42 working the same job and working remotely from Manchester. Fingers crossed I will be on 50+ by the end of Q1

What about 60k with the same amount in savings?

Expecting to have your own bathroom and kitchen isn’t so much to ask in most parts of the world… apparently it is in London. Blame the policymakers who clamp down on housing supply so housing prices and mortgages and the profits for banks funding their campaigns keep getting higher.

My team oversees internal comms and we’re in the process of signing on BananaTag.

Any fishies out there that can share what level of reporting + KPIs you’re providing leadership?

We plan to use it for exec comms and department-level leadership (HR, IT, etc.).

We’ve historically done mass communication through Outlook, so this will be our first time getting insight into staff e-mail + Teams performance.

My dilemma… I am an injury adjuster at a carrier experiencing high inventory that’s barely manageable. A competitor offered a higher salary and manageable workload. BUT, I would like to get into underwriting. I applied for UW position w/ a different carrier and they’ve made an offer. It’s lower than my current salary and significantly lower than what I’d make by taking the first offer. Do I take the high salary and stay in claims or go for UW in hopes it will be best in long run?
