BEYOND DEADLINES

Google and Facebook are paying Project Schedulers $250,000 per year for a 9-5 job. In Australia you will get ¼ $million. In the UK you will get ¼ $million. And in the Middle East. Well. You can get half a $million per year. Normal, go-home-to-your-family-each-day, have weekends off, 9-5 jobs. All you have to do is subscribe. Okay, that’s clearly the top. But what about middle and starting salaries? It can’t all be that high. Let me amaze you. A good scheduler progressing up earns between $100K - $200K per year, regardless of if they are in Europe, America or Australia. And the most basic, entry level, I’m-learning-what-a-schedule-is scheduler starts on between $50K-$80K. Let’s put this in perspective. In the US the average wage is $54K, and to get into the top 10% you need $173K. This means that the second you start, you’re earning more than 50% of the population. And when you get to the midpoint you’re in the top 10%. The same is true in the UK. The average wage in 2022 was £33K, and to get into the top 10% you need £62K. In the UK, by the time you are mid-point in the profession you are quickly heading towards being in the top 1% of earners.
