Think it is hard to judge as during the last ten years I have retired from one job and then subsequently had four other jobs at different companies. In three of those companies I have had vastly different roles.
Looking at the company I work for at the moment and I just happen to have the information for the last 7 years worth of wage rises on my desk from a piece a work I did for them this week i can tell you that the companies wages have risen well above the RPI. |

Wages have been massively devalued in the nhs since the finical crash, this 3% rise to the NHS has gone with the rise in NI and now they are changing the pension again so that’s sucking up the rest for almost all so any rise is now gone. Typical government sound bits, smoke and mirrors |

I think anyone working in the NHS (myself included) should be careful moaning about wages when those in the private sector have a much higher chance of being royally screwed especially over COVID. NHS got a small pay rise and, yes, one which has been affected by other tax issues. What did private sector employees get? Nada.
Public sector wages “have never been high enough” - but they are a guaranteed income and you have to try hard to get fired. Not so in the private sector. |

And that’s how our pensions got robbed, sorry but for some professional in the nhs the pay gap between us and the private sector has got to the point we’re we can’t recruit so the few remaining are doing more than ever, at least all the union ballots are coming back against this real terms pay cut I would expect and hope for strike action before too long to stand up to Boris and his chums who have raked it in over Covid |

Take your chances though - jump to the private sector, you might get a bit more but have a high chance of being unemployed in a couple of years when they restructure. The NHS is very unlikely to fire you.
And the NHS striking? I work in the NHS in a patient-facing role. It’s unethical of me to strike and just plain wrong. The Govt doesn’t suffer - patients do. |
