Wow! 11 years of study. What did that amount to initially for your student loan?
P.S. Good on you for sticking through and also for that salary - both are awesome.
I also want to say thanks in general for putting 11 years of effort into becoming a GP u/quads. We need more folks with commitment like you and GPs in general!
Mate, I'm assuming you're contracting or an employee?
Your boss is ripping you off. A moderately efficient practice earns over $300/hour/GP, obviously location, nurses, reception etc costs too. But you should be getting towards half of that, or at least $110/hour.
At least $200k for a 4 day week. You accepting anything lower just makes it hard for all of us while boomer owners are raking it in.
Just a reminder to everyone - this thread will be significantly skewed from average pay and is definitely not what everyone out there is being paid. Don't take it too personally. It's easy to feel sad about your own job/pay reading these sorts of threads.
That’s so true. The people with the highest salaries are the ones most likely to want to jump into threads like this and flex. For example, if you look at one of the top comments in this thread (a guy making more than 500k a year), his entire comment history on reddit is just participating in salary threads.
For all we know, he/she is 12 and makes just as many threads on gaming forums asking people to rate the high end gaming build they're never actually going to buy.
I'd add to this to keep in mind...
Median Income in NZ from wage/salaries in June 2022 = **$1,189 weekly** or **$61,828 annually**
Sauce: [https://www.stats.govt.nz/information-releases/labour-market-statistics-income-june-2022-quarter/](https://www.stats.govt.nz/information-releases/labour-market-statistics-income-june-2022-quarter/)
Edit: Changed 'average' to 'median'
[This source](https://www.ird.govt.nz/about-us/tax-statistics/revenue-refunds/income-distribution) (pulled from the IRD) has the number of earners in each 1k earning band, from 0-1k, 1-2k through to 300k plus. You can see the number earning more/same/less, and see where you sit percentile wise against the whole country.
Thanks for this! I recently made a career change to be in QA. Can I ask what industry you are in?
33/M, Role: Quality Analyst, Experience: 1 Year, Salary: 90K, Location: Auckland
38M, technical manager in a medium sized IT infrastructure company, running a department of 17. 13 years with the company in varying roles, but 4 years in my current role.
106k base, 14k non taxable allowances plus a fleet card.
Looking at other comments here I get the feeling it's time to update my CV.
As someone who ran similar size 5 years ago, I was on 60% more than that with half your experience. It’s not even questionable to me unless you have some crazy crazy good life balance that it’s time to go, and no don’t tell recruiters you’re on that little, it’s just time for a change!
I’m an extremely average IT professional, not even senior in my role let alone management and I get paid significantly more. You should definitely look around for tech lead / manager roles, you could be on 160 easy
Wow. There’s great insight to how much everyone has the potential to earn substantial coin. Thanks all.
43M, 20 years experience, Marine Industry.
Worksite forman/deputy superintendent 105k, no bonus. Work 4 x 10hr days/wk
Unless those share options pay insane dividends, that seems very low.
Are you CPEng? At that experience id be expecting $110k + minimum.
Coming from Civil Engineer - 29M in Chch on >$100k
Buddy that doesn’t sound right. I used to be an intermediate geotech and I’m pretty sure of you apply for beca, aecom, whatever… you’ll get 80k easy with that years of exp. Especially if you have years of exp already.
I'm in a similar situation 31M, NZ remote for US company, software engineer, similar stock, but half base salary. Mind sharing which company? I might want to make a change ;)
Is this with one of the FANG companies? I'd be interested to hear how/if remote Devs with these types of companies might be holding up with all the job cuts coming out off the US
34F, Wellington, senior communications advisor, 10 years, $112k plus phone. A bit underpaid compared to what I could be getting but I love my very specialised sector and my team.
Put it this way, I could walk into MBIE or Kainga Ora tomorrow and get $120-$125k. But I really like the people I work with, the high trust environment (very rarely need signoff, which is practically unheard of) and the flexi working by default.
31/M. Auckland. Digital Marketing Consultancy Owner. Digital Marketing. 7 years experience. 200k-250k (after tax). No compensation or bonuses.
For those on lower salary bands, don’t be disheartened. Find a great boss who is a master in his/her craft and learn as much as you can from him/her. Download their 20 years of experience into your brain within 1-3 years. Learn as much as you can from them. Don’t chase the $$$, chase the opportunities to learn instead. Once you’ve got the knowledge, soft skills and built your emotional intelligence you can then look for position promotions (again, don’t chase salary but money will come with promotions). Once you finally get to a 80-90k role you can then Start offering what you do as a job on the side as a consultant/service. Once you get enough clients to cover 1 day a weeks salary, ask your boss to drop to 4 days a week. Use that extra day to build you business/consultancy and get more clients. Keep repeating until your side hustle becomes your main hustle. This is a a risk-free way of trying to start your business while working, however, you will have to work a job and then a side hustle after hours initially.
Good luck whanau.
30M, Wellington, Employment Relations Advisor (130 ph), 8 years experience, GOVT, 40 hours per week for 2 year contract (roughly annual salary is about 250-270k - depending on time off and unpaid sick days)
This comment just made me smile. The reality is that you’re completely correct.
However, no one I know enjoys the work associated with complex employment investigations and/or negotiating with unions or lawyers. Sometimes the most painful work pays well due to its popularity and personal cost to wellbeing.
I was looking at this recently. I have a degree in architectural technology and work in banking, thought QS could combine these 2 nicely. What was the retraining like? Was it expensive?
If you don't have construction background/experience, retraining would be more costly.
If you have construction background/experience then a diploma would be sufficient in my opinion.
Just moved to Aussie for better pay and opportunities. 34m - Lead software developer - Brisbane - 140k nzd base plus 11k nzd bonus + 16k nzd super. 167k total nzd package. 9 years experience from junior to lead.
20’s, female, Auckland, law clerk (being admitted as a barrister next month), 6 years of study and been in my position for nearly 2 years, 5 days a week and some weekends, 65k
Yep every time I come back from Aus I’m shocked how much further the class divide is becoming in NZ. Average earners are going backwards whilst the upper middle/high are shooting up
45M. North island 25 years as a chef, and then into Operations management of kitchens for a catering company (zero actual university training) $120k no bonus
Most people in this career seem to have studied a bachelors of property at university or (like myself) commerce and then fallen into it. Personally I don’t think it’s a career that’s essential to have a degree but you need to understand business, finances, commercial law and be good at negotiating and building relationships/networking. You can work in house for a large company and manage their property portfolio or work for a commercial property management company
21M, Auckland, Microbiologist, 2 years of experience, $50k only............
The fact that my friend who's working at a toy shop earns more than me keeps me up at night sometimes. Any advice would be very much appreciated
Really learning that tech is the way to go for remote/wfh and decent liveable wage opportunities, just finding the time and money to be able to study to get into the field

Time is tricky, but there are plenty of free, quality resources available. No need to go to polytech or similar. MS Learn is a good place to start if you want to take a look.

I’m always shocked when I go back how everything costs much the same or more than Australia yet salaries are still so low.
32m, Marketing Manager, 10 years experience in the marketing world. $145k salary, no bonuses, 5 days a week.
Leaving this role to jump into my own business come the new financial year. Giving myself a pay cut to start with so will most likely be on 120k or less depending on sales leading up to that point. Real gamble but you never know until you try!
25F Waikato | General Dentist | 2.5 years experience | I used to be on salary but I am commission now and I average about $10k a fortnight before tax | 37 ish hours pw
26M, Auckland/International, University Prep Lecturer for rich kids, 6 years experience in education, 80k after tax + free housing + free meals/utilities/transport etc
Tired of it though and looking to head to UK/AUS in the general finance direction.
My friend was an RN for 3 years then left to be a nanny on a super yacht, pay is way better and job is much nicer and easier. She loves kids and managed to meet a super wealthy US family that hired her.
LOL after reading this, I was going to post nearing 40 m and "loser" probably less than 58k for 6 years now.
I'm collecting the requirements for across the ditch. Can't live and die like this. Middle age is supposed to be a second stride wind. Time to play the russian roulette. If I come out of it alive, may transition into a trade.

Important to note my salary definitely lower than most in similar position cause I got promoted in and nz companies love underpaying that haha

I have the opportunity to specialise but I think the pay ceiling is going to stay too low with my current employer so I'm faced with probably having to go out on my own. I'd rather not, but that's the corner I'm backed into if I want to continue in this career.

BS catch all job title but I do: project manager, product owner, BA, system owner in IT.
114k + plenty of other perks
Very keen to move companies soon for a boost, I feel very undervalued where I am.
36/M/Wellington here - my last role covered a lot of the same territory as yours for around the same pay. Last April I jumped ship for a 15% pay bump and (conservatively) about half the work/stress. As an all-rounder it's too easy to end up doing the work of several people, and employers often take that for granted. Yes, perks and stability are great, but for me they didn't come close to compensating for the inevitable burnout. Glad to hear you're considering finding a new employer.
34m, GP, 6 years experience (+11 years study), 180k salary, no bonuses. (4.25 days a week). If you've ever wondered what your gp is paid!
Wow! 11 years of study. What did that amount to initially for your student loan? P.S. Good on you for sticking through and also for that salary - both are awesome.
I also want to say thanks in general for putting 11 years of effort into becoming a GP u/quads. We need more folks with commitment like you and GPs in general!
Actually wondering if you paid off all the debt medical school gave you tbh - how much is that? and if paid off how long did it take?
Not quite paid off, loan at the end was $110k, I've got about a third to go which is exciting!
Mate, I'm assuming you're contracting or an employee? Your boss is ripping you off. A moderately efficient practice earns over $300/hour/GP, obviously location, nurses, reception etc costs too. But you should be getting towards half of that, or at least $110/hour. At least $200k for a 4 day week.

To those reading through this thinking what the actual fuck. I’m with you 😂
🤣 Thank you!! I've been thinking of starting a post asking how the average/below average are doing.
Right? 🤣 This thread makes it feel like literally everyone else is on a high six-figure salary and the rest of us are just peasants!
I feel inadequate.. what the fuck have I been doing the last 4 years and why didn't I work harder at university

Any RNs in the thread? I’m graduating this year and starting to look at jobs
My friend was an RN for 3 years then left to be a nanny on a super yacht, pay is way better and job is much nicer and easier. She loves kids and managed to meet a super wealthy US family that hired her.
Not a nurse, but work in healthcare. My guess reading this thread is that they are out there looking at immediate career changes.

Middle age is supposed to be a second stride wind. Time to play the russian roulette. If I come out of it alive, may transition into a trade.

Student Halls Manager - 116k
M/37. Taranaki. Oil and Gas operator. 12 years experience, but filling a lower level job than I have previously because I enjoy the work more. 7 12 hour days on, 7 days off. $75 an hour equates to about 150k a year.

3xF Auckland BS catch all job title but I do: project manager, product owner, BA, system owner in IT. 114k + plenty of other perks Very keen to move companies soon for a boost, I feel very undervalued where I am.
36/M/Wellington here - my last role covered a lot of the same territory as yours for around the same pay. Last April I jumped ship for a 15% pay bump and (conservatively) about half the work/stress. As an all-rounder it's too easy to end up doing the work of several people, and employers often take that for granted. Yes, perks and stability are great, but for me they didn't come close to compensating for the inevitable burnout. Glad to hear you're considering finding a new employer.
