I'm an eBilling Coordinator for an offshore lawfirm. Nearest office to me is in London and I'm located in Sheffield. The job was advertised as Hybrid, but because my job is kind of niche and I had 4 years experience at time of applying I managed to persuade them that it can be done remotely. Been at the role 2 years and can't imagine going back to an office.
Ebilling here too, and fully remote. Moved out of London during Covid and switched to remote. Slight change of terms (no overtime, but they pay my travel for the once a month hike).
Same as you, can't imagine full time office attendance again!
I do the same too, but not transcripts. My client is the biggest search engine in the world that I cannot name, but letās not linger on the details.
Look for obscure keywords in job titles that says something like āvoiceā or āprocessā or ādataā or āentryā. These companies are really donāt want people to know their AI is trained by dumb humans, so donāt look for the word āAIā. Look for other keywords.
Tell me about it... I use the transcription function on Teams to record meetings as I manage various sales pipelines, where lots of people talk very quickly and I need to accurately record a large volume of bid data. I thought the transcription function would solve so many issues when it first came out. I figured I'd plug the transcripts into our in-house version of GPT to summarise the notes, but it kept coming up with rubbish.
It gets the standard conversational points pretty well, honestly. But anything that is a non-standard word, a name, a place or someone with an accent then it misses a good 50% of the harder stuff.
totally agree ! Now throw in 50% Spanish speakers , 25% French, 15% Asian and 10% German
My boss wondered why I have to listen 3 times to catch everything
Itās actually funny how 90% of the comments which include salary are from people with larger salaries. I mean I get why- people like to gloat when they can and hide when they feel inadequate. Still funny to see an example like this of how most humans are the same as each other though.
To anyone reading, donāt compare. Most people commenting here are in the minority. Reddit itself will skew to higher earning, then a post asking for salaries will skew it even further.
Yep definitely. They will all say itās āover saturatedā when deep down theyāre saying that to protect their own jobs and make their careers less competitive overall
I'm an emergency helpline operator, we work with elderly residents, vulnerable people taking home and personal alarm calls, fire calls etc. I earn an ok wage.
Reddit does not represent the majority. Either only above average earners use it or someone's telling some porkies. Never visit FIRE you'll be crying yourself to sleep.

I haven't checked the ONS source to validate but assume correct.
Comments on Reddit aren't a good way to benchmark yourself. Anybody earning more than 50k at 25 will want to write about it. Those on minimum wage probably won't.
No worries.
I live in the West Mids, and I'd say 50k is the benchmark where people feel they're doing well.
If you have kids, you'll see most of it disappear though.
Software developer (c#), 33m, at 49k. My student loan for my useless degree is taking a bit of my money too FFS.
I could be on more, but I was hoping to put cloud development on my CV. The job market now appears to be a bit poopoo, too.

Can I ask if it's worth it, and what are the ups and downs for you? I'm doing ICAEW and also remote as a junior, though I haven't made my mind up yet on this career path.
Iām big 4 trained with ACA. I now work in house for a large corporate and I absolutely love it. The money is great (we have a lower COL in NI so money goes further than if you earned this wage in London), I can start and finish my day when I like, I have a great work-life balance as thereās no commute, I have great job satisfaction and my job is really interesting. Iām responsible for the tax affairs of 13 group companies and each serves a different purpose so itās really interesting learning about the ins and outs of what each company does. Iāve had a few business trips to meet the finance teams in some of my companies so itās nice to have fully paid travel when I need to do so as well. Iāve only been doing this particular job for 2.5 months but honestly Iām loving it so far. Plus the benefits are great too. Excellent pension contributions, private medical for me and my husband, a working from home allowance every month and after my probation, I can buy shares at a 25% discount as a salary sacrifice option. Plus up to 15% bonus a year. Iām honestly so happy with this job and itās much less stressful than working in practice.
Civil servant, AO grade (administration Officer). I basically create edit letter templates and switch a few things for each person.
28.8K 30 years old. This one is for the brokies
How did you get into this role if you donāt mind me asking? Just finished sixth form and would like to go into admin but I have no experience so Iām trying to volunteer somewhere for admin experience. I would like to get into admin and just see from there.
Hybrid, I go in 2 days a week, but itās not strictly enforced. I enjoy going to office.
App implementation Analyst - Ā£85k + Ā£25k bonus paid around November.
Iāve got about 8years experience in similar roles, no degree transitioned from Retail -> Retail customer support in head office -> basic GA reporting data analyst -> digital analytics specialists
The role is mostly digital analytics tracking and tagging. Instead of web itās for app, I already had experience in implementation using GA tag manager so transitioning to app was not that hard. Itās bit annoying in app because you rely on MMPs, app dev tool such as firebase and bring it all together using tealium.
Fully remote contracting for a Scandinavian company with no UK office to work out of. Delivery / project management in IT.
I bill them at Ā£850 per day (outside IR35)
Big 4 management consultant, assistant manager level. Ā£55k base. Some occasional travel to client sites required but otherwise only attend the main office for social occasionsĀ
IT consultant. Ā£92k + bonuses.
Fully remote, although go into the office once/twice a year for social events. Really hoping to stay as long as possible on that salary while remote. Commuting to London again would be would horrible.
Software dev, 91k. Still choose to live in London, because you never know when some overzealous manager forces RTO. Had an offer for 115k, but 3 days in office. I declined, because there's no way I'll trade all that time for a few hundred more.
Consultant/solution architect for a piece of software - 55k
100% remote
No official qualifications past a-level.
16 years experience in my the industry (which included 3 years front line dealing with customers).
I quite literally fell into the role though, itās a very niche area within contact centres that I work with and I landed on my feet when I decided to apply for my current role (even though I though I was under qualified because of the difference in pay)
I'm an IT Major Incident Manager working for a very large player in the banking space - I travel into London from the south coast 3-4 times a month. Basic is six figures with a target bonus of about 20% I can also claim for being on-call and working out of hours etc - really great place to work. (pension is fantastic too which helps).
I've been in IT my whole working life, worked various roles as a system admin, IT operations, observability and performance engineering across varying businesses - I have always had an interest in being a MIM and during covid I got the role in the place I worked at the time before moving onto my new role at the start of the year with the new company.
I work in IT in the NHS. I have a specialist skillset so don't want to go into too much detail to avoid doxxing, but it means they do their best to keep me happy, which involves hybrid working. The nature of my job wouldn't work for fully WFH but I like seeing my colleagues so I'm fine with the hybrid model.
Currently a Senior Data Analyst for a third sector company earning Ā£38k while fully remote (with the exception of a team day every 3 months or so). About to start the same role in the public sector for Ā£47k with 1 day a week in the office.
finance accounting/FP&A has many of those job offers and its actually to work at. Work from home is very beneficial in those as sometimes you have a lot of time between tasks
Hybrid with two days in the office. Payroll implementation consultant. Ā£36k plus 10% bonus that is hard not to achieve. Most similar jobs seem to be fully remote and higher paying, but also demanding of unpaid additional hours.
DevOps engineer. I work 100% at home and have ultimate flexibility. I do the nursery run a couple times a week at both ends of the day and I pretty much shave an hour off my day. I have it so good to be honest
Technical Support Analyst. Early 20s, 18mo experience in this role, 25k per year (+ a 2.5k annual āon-callā allowance - available to pick up the phone 8-8 Mon-Fri, 8-6 Sat once every 2 months).
Hybrid. 2 days in-office per week.
Started working remotely with a software implementation role (5yrs)
Now managing a team of implementation consultants/solution architects, which involves heading to one of our European offices for a week every other month and the rest of the time is from home. Hours are very flexible, very rarely go over my weekly 40hrs and current earnings is as the lower end of six figures.
Senior Digital Marketer.
Fully remote! I live in Manchester, company is based in London. At most I go down to the office twice a year for the company all hands days.
Ā£65k at 30 years old.
I go in (central london office) maybeee 4/5 days a month, but thatās rarely enforced time in the office. However Iām a consultant and would have to do what my client wanted, some do expect you to be in the office 3/4 days a week which could happen for me.
I earn 90k with 6 years experience in tech consulting
anyone no of any companies or have any information please let me no also,as I'm looking to get into remote work due to not being able to work in a heavy environment from a shoulder injury/surgery I would be so grateful.
I work remotely for sensee, they have a range of different clients. Iām on a car insurance campaign. Working fully remote from home would find vacancies on their website
Team manager in an engineering role....more involved when a new start joins but once they are up and running I'm basically there to answer any queries and accept holiday requests....80k+
Infrastructure engineer, but my company allows mostly anyone to wfh, if I were to change jobs which I want to Iād be required to either hybrid (which seems like2-3 times a week in office) or in office. Iāve been staying mostly out of convenience for work home balance but keen to find one where hybrid doesnāt require to me to be in office a lot in a month
Fully Remote Software engineer,
1 year experience.
42k 22y/o
not much in way of benefits, apart from lot of flexibility boss doesn't really care hours as long as work is done, no expectation to work more hours to get stuff done.
Busines analyst, go into the office once a week, but that's through choice. Ā£56k, but 32 hours a week, 41 days annual leave and a defined benefit pension. I've earnt double in the past, for the same/similar roles but in financial services; would never swap back.
Backend engineer for a non uk company. Hovering around Ā£60k (euro to pounds). + other benefits. Roughly around 10k ish. Making ttc around Ā£70k or thereabout. Just clocked 31, but I've been on this for more than 2 years.
I'm not including side gigs though, but usually in a year, I could hover around $20k+
Solution architect for a bank. Currently work hybrid with most of my team in the office one day a week. But we were working from home two days per week before Covid so really Iāve been hybrid since about 2015.
Most of my meetings involve people in Scotland or India so thereās a lot of work on Zoom even when Iām in the office. But we definitely get benefit from the folks in London chatting face to face at least once a week. Also, the options for lunch are so much better there than around my homeā¦
Consultant DevOps Engineer / Platform Engineer (freelance) - My daily rate is a minimum Ā£500 per day. Ā£700 if I have to commute to London even a single day a week.
eCommerce solutions architect, frontend and app developer (shopify) about 7 years experience in this niche and about 10 of development in general. I am a contractor and therefore choose my clients, however 80% are fine with fully remote while the rest might prefer a hybrid approach. Travel is part of "work"(therefore i'm charging for the time) if i decide to attend offices during my contracts. Being in face to face meetings has it's benefits, especially when i need to coordinate with other devs or "sell" a solution to the board.
I work as an SDR in tech, hybrid (2 days in London office, 3 days WFH). The days I go in are because I choose to (I like having a balance) but could work completely remote if I wanted to as my manager is a big believer of remote working. Also helps my team is global so just makes sense. 35k base +5k commission potential. Only started this job in January this year, first role WFH. Graduated in 2021.
I am looking for something remotely it can be anything I don't mind for the start, I don't have any experience in remote work as I only worked in restaurants and I supervised people with learning disabilities. If anyone knows something please let me know I will be forever grateful, I live in the UK, Kingston upon Thames
Iām a developer by trade. In a management role now (mixed dev and management), but I started remote working as a straight dev about 6 years ago (before the pandemic).
Current role is with a London Fintech, before that it was gambling.
3 days remote 2 days in office
IT Contract recruiter
Billed 51k this year
Handing in my notice tomorrow as Iām sick of the job and the past year has been miserable. Iāve done it for 3 years and I donāt want to do a recruitment job ever again.
- apprentice finance assistant (purchase ledger)
- hybrid role so I WFH 3 times a week, 1 day in the office and 1 day attending class (in person)
- salary: apprentice wageā¦.
I'm an IT consultant for a large MSP.
Even before lockdown I was only really on three office a few days a week because I've always been working with people spread all over the country. Despite having a pretty big footprint for my team in my local office I rarely get any projects with the local guys.
Following COVID the company closed a lot of offices and downsized others.
Most people are now fully remote. It's only really the people in roles that require a physical presence that have to go in now.
25k, tech support for a SaaS web platform that you have probably never heard of. I don't think they like us being WFH though as they have tried a few times to push us into the expensive new office they bought at the same time as decimating the company with redundancies and freezing pay. Honestly if it wasn't for how hard it is to find a full WFH or close to it role these days I would have left by now. Most are hybrid 3 days or more and not close enough to where I live for that to make sense. 10 miles multiple times a week or 75 a few times a year? Though the office was a lot closer until they moved it to an expensive city.
Hybrid/remote, one suggested day in the office but it's optional.
Finance manager. I've done lots of hybrid/heavily remote roles on fixed term contract since COVID, but I think it works better at a slightly more senior level, but not with lots of people management. Junior staff need mentoring, senior staff need to mentor, so companies prefer more office attendance usually. My roles have required my skills/qualifications but I've perhaps been supervising staff who have a different line manager just to help them out/check their work rather than be fully responsible for their career progression.
It's worked well for me because I wanted more work/life balance after having my daughter, so I'm happy with the sacrifice in pay. And I'm not on bad pay, roles have been between Ā£50-60k, just not the Ā£70k+ I could be on with more responsibilities.
Technical support manager - 2 days in the office Ā£117k
I am going into cloud because I want to be able to work remotely (abroad) for weeks when I want like the current guys who never go into the office.
Marketing for B2b finance technology company. My entire team is hybrid. Office is very noisy, I need focus days. I'll push back if they start suggesting 5 days in. Plenty of roles in the industry are fully remote at the moment too
Principal Cloud Consultant
Full remote with travel to customer site(this has drastically reduced since COVID)
Iām 39 with almost 20 years in the industry with international experience (Iām American but live here now)
Ā£152k + 10%
Firmware/software engineer with a bit of electronics thrown in. Like lots of people I was on site until COVID, then fully remote and more recently hybrid which is how it is looking to remain, the office isn't big enough if everyone was to come in on the same day.
Currently around Ā£120k with multiple decades of experience.
Iām a management consultant so fundamentally I work wherever my client needs me.
It just happens my current client only needs me in for specific workshops (and at any rate doesnāt have the office space to accommodate its own employees) so I mostly work from home.
Remote based with significant travel (average away 2 night a week do circa 2/3k miles a month). Tech sales for a FANNG company UK wide. Closing in on 10 years experience 6 figure+ package (as long as I'm performing). Mid 30s age.
I work fully remotely as a coordinator within the pharmaceutical industry. More accurately I'm a project manager without the title or pay to show for it. š I currently bring in 31k with some additional benefits of private health and dental insurance.
Freelance Copywriter. On course to earn 40K this year. Could earn way more if I wasn't so lazy. That being said, it's probably only a matter of time before AI makes me redundant.
Project Management (although the role feels more like admin than actual projects) within an Engineering company, up North. Mandatory one day a month on site with the team, they encourage at least twice a month not WFH, basically.
I joined a few years after graduating, during Covid (mid 2020) where it was almost entirely WFH for office workers, and I started on ~Ā£30.5/31k. Few company wide pay rises since then (no promotions, still in the same role) and currently on ~Ā£39.5k.
Regulatory Compliance Specialist in the adult social care sector.
Started off as a Compliance Administrator last summer working 3 days in office 2 days from home on just above minimum wage.
Did the ICA Certificate in Compliance, worked very very hard, long hours, showed initiative, networked with industry leaders, worked 10-12 hour days most days, got involved with projects above my pay grade, was asked to join a committee (all other members are either Directors or Business Partners), did company-wide training and presentations on compliance issues, researched immigration law/NMC/SSSC/other relevant regulations and legislation and trained Business Partners and managers. Went from Compliance Admin on Ā£23.8K to Regulatory Compliance Specialist on Ā£32K, now come into office 1-2 days a week depending on how I feel.
May seem silly to invest so much on what started off as a min wage role, but it's the first job where I'm truly passionate about what I do and, after searching for a 'career calling' since my teen years, finally in my late twenties I know for sure I want to work in Compliance as a career for life, if not at least on a long-term basis. I've been blessed with a very relaxed/informal workplace, lovely colleagues and a dream boss who's mentored me to where I am now and has my back every day. Will likely be prompted to Regulatory Compliance Officer on Ā£45-50K in 2026.
Definitely has its stresses at times, but love what I do overall and easily the best choice I've made for my career in joining my current employer.
We're currently on a 2 week hybrid rota - week 1 is 4 days in the office, 1 day at home, week 2 is 3 days in the office, 2 days at home.
I work in planning and delivery of utility infrastructure installation and earn around Ā£27k doing 35 hrs a week,
I wfh in facilities management. No previous experience. I bridge the gap between operations & finance. Not the most exciting job but it does for now. Ā£35k and some pretty good benefits. I also have a part time bar job as working from home is very isolating.
Hybrid model (2 days in office 3 wfh).. company is actually 3 days min in office but I managed to get my contract updated last year.
Top teir US bank based in London
Just shy of 6 figure salary

Thank you :)
I thought you're living the dream, old man. I then realised I earn a bit more than you. I also then realised I'm a few years older, too.
What do you do, salary & age? Iām definitely not living the dream, and very open to other career options.

Thank you. I was on 40 when I was 30, too. Got 44k at 31 by moving jobs, then they gave me a nice pay rise because the company did good.

Software dev, 91k. Still choose to live in London, because you never know when some overzealous manager forces RTO. Had an offer for 115k, but 3 days in office. I declined, because there's no way I'll trade all that time for a few hundred more.

Consultant/solution architect for a piece of software - 55k 100% remote No official qualifications past a-level. 16 years experience in my the industry (which included 3 years front line dealing with customers). I quite literally fell into the role though, itās a very niche area within contact centres that I work with and I landed on my feet when I decided to apply for my current role (even though I though I was under qualified because of the difference in pay)
Occasional site visit Hybrid (only been to the office 4 times this year) Solution Architect
I'm an IT Major Incident Manager working for a very large player in the banking space - I travel into London from the south coast 3-4 times a month. Basic is six figures with a target bonus of about 20% I can also claim for being on-call and working out of hours etc - really great place to work. (pension is fantastic too which helps). I've been in IT my whole working life, worked various roles as a system admin, IT operations, observability and performance engineering across varying businesses - I have always had an interest in being a MIM and during covid I got the role in the place I worked at the time before moving onto my new role at the start of the year with the new company.

I work in IT in the NHS. I have a specialist skillset so don't want to go into too much detail to avoid doxxing, but it means they do their best to keep me happy, which involves hybrid working.

Infrastructure engineer, but my company allows mostly anyone to wfh, if I were to change jobs which I want to Iād be required to either hybrid (which seems like2-3 times a week in office) or in office.

I work in digital, websites etc

Solution architect for a bank. Currently work hybrid with most of my team in the office one day a week. But we were working from home two days per week before Covid so really Iāve been hybrid since about 2015. Most of my meetings involve people in Scotland or India so thereās a lot of work on Zoom even when Iām in the office. But we definitely get benefit from the folks in London chatting face to face at least once a week. Also, the options for lunch are so much better there than around my homeā¦

eCommerce solutions architect, frontend and app developer (shopify) about 7 years experience in this niche and about 10 of development in general. I am a contractor and therefore choose my clients, however 80% are fine with fully remote while the rest might prefer a hybrid approach. Travel is part of "work"(therefore i'm charging for the time) if i decide to attend offices during my contracts. Being in face to face meetings has it's benefits, especially when i need to coordinate with other devs or "sell" a solution to the board.

I work as an SDR in tech, hybrid (2 days in London office, 3 days WFH). The days I go in are because I choose to (I like having a balance) but could work completely remote if I wanted to as my manager is a big believer of remote working. Also helps my team is global so just makes sense. 35k base +5k commission potential. Only started this job in January this year, first role WFH. Graduated in 2021.

Software Engineer
- apprentice finance assistant (purchase ledger) - hybrid role so I WFH 3 times a week, 1 day in the office and 1 day attending class (in person) - salary: apprentice wageā¦.
I'm an IT consultant for a large MSP. Even before lockdown I was only really on three office a few days a week because I've always been working with people spread all over the country. Despite having a pretty big footprint for my team in my local office I rarely get any projects with the local guys. Following COVID the company closed a lot of offices and downsized others. Most people are now fully remote. It's only really the people in roles that require a physical presence that have to go in now.
I'm a Salesforce Administrator with 6 years experience. Fully remote, 70k.
25k, tech support for a SaaS web platform that you have probably never heard of. I don't think they like us being WFH though as they have tried a few times to push us into the expensive new office they bought at the same time as decimating the company with redundancies and freezing pay. Honestly if it wasn't for how hard it is to find a full WFH or close to it role these days I would have left by now. Most are hybrid 3 days or more and not close enough to where I live for that to make sense. 10 miles multiple times a week or 75 a few times a year? Though the office was a lot closer until they moved it to an expensive city.
Hybrid/remote, one suggested day in the office but it's optional. Finance manager. I've done lots of hybrid/heavily remote roles on fixed term contract since COVID, but I think it works better at a slightly more senior level, but not with lots of people management. Junior staff need mentoring, senior staff need to mentor, so companies prefer more office attendance usually. My roles have required my skills/qualifications but I've perhaps been supervising staff who have a different line manager just to help them out/check their work rather than be fully responsible for their career progression. It's worked well for me because I wanted more work/life balance after having my daughter, so I'm happy with the sacrifice in pay. And I'm not on bad pay, roles have been between Ā£50-60k, just not the Ā£70k+ I could be on with more responsibilities.
Computer programmer, fully remote although probably be in the office soon once a week
Technical support manager - 2 days in the office Ā£117k I am going into cloud because I want to be able to work remotely (abroad) for weeks when I want like the current guys who never go into the office.
Marketing for B2b finance technology company. My entire team is hybrid. Office is very noisy, I need focus days. I'll push back if they start suggesting 5 days in. Plenty of roles in the industry are fully remote at the moment too
Principal Cloud Consultant Full remote with travel to customer site(this has drastically reduced since COVID) Iām 39 with almost 20 years in the industry with international experience (Iām American but live here now) Ā£152k + 10%
Firmware/software engineer with a bit of electronics thrown in. Like lots of people I was on site until COVID, then fully remote and more recently hybrid which is how it is looking to remain, the office isn't big enough if everyone was to come in on the same day. Currently around Ā£120k with multiple decades of experience.
Hybrid Ā£27.5k Helpdesk and data processing. 4 years WFH when COVID hit but higher ups like to chat so hybrid now.
Iām a management consultant so fundamentally I work wherever my client needs me. It just happens my current client only needs me in for specific workshops (and at any rate doesnāt have the office space to accommodate its own employees) so I mostly work from home.
Remote based with significant travel (average away 2 night a week do circa 2/3k miles a month). Tech sales for a FANNG company UK wide. Closing in on 10 years experience 6 figure+ package (as long as I'm performing). Mid 30s age.

Freelance Copywriter. On course to earn 40K this year. Could earn way more if I wasn't so lazy. That being said, it's probably only a matter of time before AI makes me redundant.
19, aerospace engineer
Project Management (although the role feels more like admin than actual projects) within an Engineering company, up North. Mandatory one day a month on site with the team, they encourage at least twice a month not WFH, basically. I joined a few years after graduating, during Covid (mid 2020) where it was almost entirely WFH for office workers, and I started on ~Ā£30.5/31k. Few company wide pay rises since then (no promotions, still in the same role) and currently on ~Ā£39.5k.
Communications Officer for a cancer charity. I earn Ā£30k (26F)
Regulatory Compliance Specialist in the adult social care sector. Started off as a Compliance Administrator last summer working 3 days in office 2 days from home on just above minimum wage. Did the ICA Certificate in Compliance, worked very very hard, long hours, showed initiative, networked with industry leaders, worked 10-12 hour days most days, got involved with projects above my pay grade, was asked to join a committee (all other members are either Directors or Business Partners), did company-wide training and presentations on compliance issues, researched immigration law/NMC/SSSC/other relevant regulations and legislation and trained Business Partners and managers. Went from Compliance Admin on Ā£23.8K to Regulatory Compliance Specialist on Ā£32K, now come into office 1-2 days a week depending on how I feel. May seem silly to invest so much on what started off as a min wage role, but it's the first job where I'm truly passionate about what I do and, after searching for a 'career calling' since my teen years, finally in my late twenties I know for sure I want to work in Compliance as a career for life, if not at least on a long-term basis. I've been blessed with a very relaxed/informal workplace, lovely colleagues and a dream boss who's mentored me to where I am now and has my back every day. Will likely be prompted to Regulatory Compliance Officer on Ā£45-50K in 2026. Definitely has its stresses at times, but love what I do overall and easily the best choice I've made for my career in joining my current employer.
We're currently on a 2 week hybrid rota - week 1 is 4 days in the office, 1 day at home, week 2 is 3 days in the office, 2 days at home. I work in planning and delivery of utility infrastructure installation and earn around Ā£27k doing 35 hrs a week,
