I like my job. Currently a graduate but working my way up to senior role with no management responsibilities I’d get £50k. It’s a pretty comfy job with not much in the way of stress.

A team leader role overseeing a team of ten would get me about £60k, but I would basically have to do my job plus a lot of additional responsibilities meaning it would double my workload for not much extra pay. I’d have to do this for at least four years until I could be considered for being a proper manager, which would get me at least £80k. Beyond that is director level which is £150k plus. Obviously that’s very desirable but difficult to achieve.

Middle managers - is it actually worth the extra hassle to get your foot in the door?
