Cameron_R Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 For 10 hours per week max 50k is awesome. Why the fuk you give that up to join army? 40k and long hours is pretty povo especially in Auckland with associated high living costs. I'd kill to make 50k working 10 hour weeks. I made 40k for the last financial year and that was working 45 hours a week and no benefits lol. Just a duty manager at Pak n Save. Same I would also kill to make 50 grand and work only ten hours a week That's only good if it's scalable. You can't live (rent or buy, drive a car, pay for a gym memebership, eat like a powerbuilder, pay electiricity/internet/gas/water, cloth yourself etc) on 50k in Auckland.Need to do 20hrs a week, and earn 100k. THEN you're a fucking genious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northland Powah Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 I guess I'm towards the lower end in this thread. 70k but only work three quarters of the year. 13 weeks holiday. 7 weeks over Christmas break. Great work no stress at all. Little incentive to move onto middle management as it's a lot more work for little financial reward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudonym Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 Man... think I need to ask the boss for a raise! :-pThat, or the same pay and more time off. Actually, I'd probably prefer that. Northland Powah, what do you do that gives you 13 weeks holiday a year?! You can't live (rent or buy, drive a car, pay for a gym memebership, eat like a powerbuilder, pay electiricity/internet/gas/water, cloth yourself etc) on 50k in Auckland.I think you're exaggerating a bit here. $50k is not a great salary, but it's not insignificant - and it's perfectly livable on, even in Auckland. You just flat a bit further out of town, rather than live by yourself in a mansion in the central suburbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THEN you're a fucking genious! it's doable alright. i wasn't living like a king but i was happy getting a lot more out of life than i do now in corporate environment. i moved on at the time because money wasn't as significant to me as my dreams.. i know of a few people (direct, not friend of a friend) who jumped on to 70k roles after a year or two working in large IT companies like this one so that's what I'm counting on now lolbit hard now to try accept more work on the side because conflict of interest with my job so progressing up the chain best option as can't afford to just go back to doing nothing for a while trying to build up contracts again.. though i would love to return to that old lifestyle again.

Yeah I deal with 'those' talks but they are actually a laugh when you are an adult because you get all the wierd questions. I have a box where students put their random questions in and I read them, we usually as a department read out the really wierd ones together for a laugh. The other bonus of the job is the fact that the wife is also a teacher so we get the same holidays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
