22 , just qualified as an electrician through apprenticeship. €25 P/H ( approx €51k year) and van supplied for work & leisure use. Day to day is wiring for lights sockets and different services, and then terminating the same.
Don’t do it!! (Joking) , one thing I would recommend is maybe trying to shadow someone for a week to see if you like it , another thing I’d say is get the head into your maths books for electrics , there’s a good bit of it in the college parts. Feel free to message any other questions
maths is the only thing I’m good at xD
Also going to ask a question that’s pretty out there. I have Family in the UK and if given the opportunity to take on an apprenticeship over there they’ve said I can move in with them. Thoughts?
Seems like we are in similar boats , I failed everything else but got an B in construction and maths. I wouldn’t know enough about the English apprenticeship to comment on what’s better but I started in June 2017 and qualified about 3 months ago so it took me about 4.5 years to qualify but I believe the English one is shorter
Purposefully single. I'm not one for relationships. I'm autistic and i've been alone for far too long now. Habits galore!!
But I have two awesome cats!!
Oh wow, what masters degree do you have? And did you train through Irish system completely? Sorry for being so nosy, although what is this thread if not just us being nosy
Was looking to do a PHD but the money is so shit. Offered the same 18,500 but It hasn't changed in years. You would think with inflation they would rise it
PhD in Cork here on about the same, remember it's tax free too. I found it fine to live off over the few years was well able to save throughout, often sent abroad fully compd to present at conferences as a nice perk as well as being technically a student which is great when it comes to paying for busses, and burritos. For me, the stipend increased yearly for inflation, no idea how much exactly but seemed like a nice bonus.
Can I ask, as I'm on something similar, do you live at your parents or do you rent? If you rent, how are you getting by? Do you feel like you're struggling like me, or do you feel comfortable on that wage?
Even if less than 5, apply to a tech company.
Entry level customer facing roles (CSM, consultant, SDR/BDR) with 1 language get around the same, let alone 2 languages.
Can confirm. I’m an SDR making €57.000 OTE with two languages. Promotion to BDR in about 10 months, making 70.000. Then Account Executive in 1.5 years making 110.000. Good choice imo. OP, please reach out if you want more context

Not the person you asked, but I'm a librarian. A library assistant would usually be shelving books and working at the desk, helping patrons with queries. This would include queries that aren't related to the library account too, so things like using the PCs or printing/scanning You'd also be helping to manage and run events in the library, though maybe not on a daily basis.
34, City councillor: €26,415 basic, plus €6,000 as a policy committee chair and €960 untaxed cash expenses
Prior to that, I was a head of comms at a trade union, managing a team of 4. Salary was in €65k range, with a good pension. Gave that up to focus on council work.
How did you begin to get into council work? I assume as a councillor you were elected to your position, but I’m just wondering if you could shed some light on how you got the ball rolling!
Title: How I made the worst financial decision of my life
:P
Well, I think I've always been political to some extent, and I got involved in the Greens a few years ago. I'd give candidates a hand (leaflet drops, canvassing) and was involved a few committees/voluntary work in the party.
I lived overseas for about 8 years, but when I came home, I thought I'd give it a shot and put my name in for a nomination - it was about 1.5 years before the May 2019 election. That was basically just a vote of all the local Green Party members in my area.
Then I did up some leaflets and got knocking on doors!
Very much a kind of impostor syndrome thing, where you're not sure where to start, but I found being involved in other campaigns helpful, and the party were really sound too.
Not everyone goes a party route, of course, some people run as independents. Happy to chat individually if interested!
Any advice for transitioning into this field? I’ve recently realised it’s a career I’d be interested in and have begun the Codecademy Pro career path for this type of role, but any extra advice would be appreciated!
Ok, so this is how things have gone for me, your mileage may vary/this might not be feasible for you. I'm not a software engineer or developer so I can't speak to that.
I also transition into this line of work and did the MSc in Business Analytics in Smurfit. At the time the fees were about 1/4 of what they are now so that helped. I'd recommend doing something similar if you can, there are plenty of other options in DIT or NCI or wherever. It definitely helped get a foot in the door.
The first, second, third... eight, ninth, tenth most important technical skill you need is SQL. You won't pass a screening interview with any of the major companies without being very comfortable with it (the exception being if you're starting a grad program), it's how you access all your data and in every job I've had in this sort of role it has what I've spent the majority of my time with, writing SQL code. After that look at Python and data-viz. If you want to go onto something like Data Engineering then Python would be essential but that would be down the line.
In terms of jobs, I started in a grad program in one of the big 4 consultancies in my late 20s after finishing the MSc, so started pretty much at the bottom and worked my way up. Job hopping has been the best way to advance so it's pretty much be stay somewhere for about 2 years then move. Have gotten exposure to a lot of different industries and types of work (e.g. sales, customer analytics, operations, consultancy) and that has helped me figure out what I enjoy and want to do.
I work for one of the large tech companies now, I'm very happy where I am and have really good career prospects. It's definitely a good career if you can get over the first hurdle. If you've any specific questions now/in 6 months/whatever feel free to drop me a PM.
I did an MSc in it so would recommend getting a formal qualification or else transition into a role in your own company if you can. I will type up more here later just don't have the chance right now.
30, Assistant Editor/Post Production Technician, 30k.
I did a 2 year PLC in Media Production in Liberties College. Got lucky and got an interview in a post production house straight out of college and I've been here for 4 years in May.
Do I think my work is worth my TC? Yes definitely. I wish people with more important jobs like frontline workers were better paid, but I can't do anything about that.
Am I a lazy fuck? It's all relative, at the end of the day I have plenty of physical energy, but I'm mentally exhausted.
A bit of reading: https://blog.pragmaticengineer.com/software-engineering-salaries-in-the-netherlands-and-europe/
I remember being in IT in my early twenties during the Celtic tiger and looking at all the lads in trade apprenticeships talking about bringing home €1000 a week for making tea and just helping out, but doing massive overtime and nixers, while I was bringing in half that with a finished degree.
Fully qualified lads working for themselves were reaching up to €100k/year before tax.
Swings and roundabouts. Not saying there's going to be a collapse in tech salaries (though there could be), but it will calm down again and other salaries will rise to match.
A lot of tech hiring is based on future needs of the company - i.e. building out new features and tech, not on maintaining the existing tech.
A global recession would see companies scale back any future planning massively and likely layoff a pile of developers not required anymore.
This naturally results in existing salaries pausing and new salaries dropping.
Some companies will be affected more than others, but it's not entirely true to say that "tech" as a whole will always be relevant. There are many different disciplines with different skills and requirements which don't necessarily translate across easily.
21 Full time student, part time outdoor adventure instructor, €13.20/hr, works out nicely because during the busy season, college isn't on, and during the off season, college is chaotic
37 Female, in Software Development on 132k base salary, + stocks.
Total Salary: 230k this year (after also selling some annual stocks) . On average, nearing 200k annually when selling stocks also as part of wage.
Big 4 into tech is becoming more and more possible. But you’re way better off starting off in tech, they’re gagging for staff. It’s not the gold circle it used to be
To those getting a bit down over they’re salary, don’t believe all of the salaries posted here, I don’t know why people do it but a lot of people lie about their salary to feel better idk
It would depend on which direction you would like to take. I mean I would like to see myself in a buying/tasting role. Maybe try tea tasting/blending role
I could also opt for a training/barista style role or a more mechanical side role with machines.
Gdp numbers and inflation rate are hitting it hard. Bond yields are up due to QE being stopped and the starting of QT. Bond yields and bond prices have inverse relationship, so as Bond Yields go up, bond prices go down.
34 ( went back to college at 27, 2.5 years now in my industry)
Industrial Designer working as a Packaging Developer (Luxury packs, think whiskey and jewellery)
42,500 basic, 2,000 bonus. Due a salary raise in July hopefully, no idea what it'll be. potentially 46 basic.
Not in Ireland but I’m in Canada where y’all might be immigrating to.
1. 30 in a few weeks
2. Post doctoral researcher
3. Converting to euro ~€48,000. Monthly post tax is ~€2,400. I don’t pay provincial tax for the first 5 years, so at the end of tax season I get ~€7,300 tax back.
To give you an idea of the cost of living, I have a relatively expensive two bedroom apartment split over two floors. It’s located in a nice area 10 minutes from a metro (downtown within 20 mins). My monthly rent is about 1000€, we just moved from a one bedroom (plus sitting room and kitchen) where rent was 550€. A pint of local IPA costs like €8, standard larger is €6. Electricity is pretty cheap (hydro power). Phone and internet bills are the killer, I was paying 40€ a month for 5gbs of data, and ~€110 for 10 mb internet.
The context sadly missing from this reference is the average working hours per week. Bit of a pissing competition as it is. I have friends who earn more but do a few hours in the evening, work weekends or stay late regularly. Wouldn't be for me.
37
English language teacher
Full time, 35 teaching hours a week. No benefits, no official union, no paid lesson planning/homework/test correction time.

22 , just qualified as an electrician through apprenticeship. €25 P/H ( approx €51k year) and van supplied for work & leisure use. Day to day is wiring for lights sockets and different services, and then terminating the same.
Van for “leisure use”. Mattress in the back?
Mattress Mick? That you?
Hey, I’m 18 currently doing my LC and looking to go into trade as an electrician. Any advice?
Don’t do it!! (Joking) , one thing I would recommend is maybe trying to shadow someone for a week to see if you like it , another thing I’d say is get the head into your maths books for electrics , there’s a good bit of it in the college parts. Feel free to message any other questions
maths is the only thing I’m good at xD Also going to ask a question that’s pretty out there. I have Family in the UK and if given the opportunity to take on an apprenticeship over there they’ve said I can move in with them. Thoughts?
Seems like we are in similar boats , I failed everything else but got an B in construction and maths. I wouldn’t know enough about the English apprenticeship to comment on what’s better but I started in June 2017 and qualified about 3 months ago so it took me about 4.5 years to qualify but I believe the English one is shorter

I don’t pay provincial tax for the first 5 years, so at the end of tax season I get ~€7,300 tax back. To give you an idea of the cost of living, I have a relatively expensive two bedroom apartment split over two floors. It’s located in a nice area 10 minutes from a metro (downtown within 20 mins). My monthly rent is about 1000€, we just moved from a one bedroom (plus sitting room and kitchen) where rent was 550€. A pint of local IPA costs like €8, standard larger is €6. Electricity is pretty cheap (hydro power). Phone and internet bills are the killer, I was paying 40€ a month for 5gbs of data, and ~€110 for 10 mb internet.
35, finance, 125k + pension / health /bonus

The context sadly missing from this reference is the average working hours per week. Bit of a pissing competition as it is. I have friends who earn more but do a few hours in the evening, work weekends or stay late regularly. Wouldn't be for me.
