The small family firm I worked at folded after the owner remortgaged his house. I was told on the Friday and had my last pay check on the monday. (Sad story, I felt for them)
After contracting for a bit and running through my savings I was days away from losing my house when I was offered a great job writing software earning twice as much. 2 years later I was offered a dream job and doubled my salary again.
Today I am forever thankful for my fairly ridiculous salary because I've been at rock bottom.
- giancarlostoro 7y agoDon't forget to reinvest / save that extra income.
- bitcoinmoney 7y agoWhat’s current salary? 4x in a couple of years is big except for student -> non student cases
- ErrantX 7y agoIt was 4x in 3 years, 6x in 6 years (so slowing down ha). Worth stating that I was starting from a below market rate position.
- pandapower2 7y agoonly a few more years until your salary goes to infinity :D
- mpeg 7y agoI'm pretty curious how much you're currently making, I've never worked in the UK finance sector but I understand the salaries are just higher.
- ErrantX 7y agoDrop me a line; happy to share. I think its relatively market rate for the uk.
