Salaries of part-qualified?

Trying to get an idea of salaries...

Surely that depends on how you define part-qualified?

Your spread is nowhere near wide enough to capture p/qual earnings. I know several people at associate level - which I assume you would consider p/qual - earning more than twice your upper bound. I would suggest £10k intervals rather than £2k...

Interesting -
but newly qualified is generally 55-60k -
so you are saying there are people with about 4 exams left earning at least 100k - i.e much more than newly qualified???
is this common/are they exceptional people or something?

Not uncommon I would say, although far more common in the contract market than the perm employed market. I don't think many of the contractors I know are exceptional - they're just being rewarded for a slightly higher percieved risk.

In the interest of balance I should mention that I also know graduates with 5 or more exemptions that wouldn't make it onto the lower band of the scale. The point I was making was that it's a pretty poor survey making heroic assumptions about the distribution of salaries. I think my point is validated by the uptake...
