Red-faced
over salary

British men are significantly more
confident than women when it
comes to furthering their careers.
Job advertisement search
engine Adzuna analysed 500,000
CVs submitted to its ValueMyCV
tool and compared gender and
estimated pay grade. It found that
men are twice as likely to seek
job progression, and when both
men and women have more than
10 years' experience, men are
almost six times more likely to
look for a new job than women.
The study also highlighted that
these men are paid 42% more
than their female counterparts.

Two-thirds of graduates
admit they feel underpaid
and almost half (46%)
would go as far as to say
they feel embarrassed
about their starting salary.
A recent study,
commissioned by loans
company Satsuma, found
that half of graduates
feel that starting salaries
aren't in line with the
cost of living, and 49%
of those surveyed lived
with their parents during
their first graduate job
to sustain themselves
until their first pay rise.

Men are
more
confident
they'll
progress
