I Don't Want To Be A Queen. I Want To Be THE Queen
I just realised this might get moved to the jobs/career section. Mods please don't, it would just get lost. This is specific to UK fonts.
I see a lot of people asking about how they can increase their money and what industries they can get into. People are often iffy about sharing their success/salaries. LSA is anon, so we should be able to speak freely.
I'm currently a digital PM for an agency, currently earning £80k no bonuses. I will be posting any job opportunities I come across for all levels. Please do the same, let's support our community in the professional field!
I started off as a PM in a digital space, learnt how to code, was a software engineer for almost two years, then I went back into PM work.
Tools I used to learn coding:
Free
Udemy, YouTube, Freecodecamp, CodeFirstGirls
Pricey
Makers , General Assembly
It is hard to break into the industry, but it's best to look out for grad schemes, if you don't have a degree then apprenticeships are the way to go.
Other areas that have good earning potential is consulting, usually it's roughly £30k as a starting salary(some places have signing bonuses as well), but it can go to £50k within 2-3 years depending on how you network.
Good options: Capgemini, Deloitte, Accenture
Banking is also a good option, you need a degree for this one but don't necessarily need a finance/maths degree(although it helps).
Feel free to add your piece and share info, especially for areas outside London. I don't know much about those areas.
Feel free to ask me anything about my career journey.
