"HR pays well" they said... but what constitutes "well"?

Hello everyone,

I have recently learnt a curious fact, that you can look up anyone's salary freely in Norway to ensure an absolute tax and reward transparency. Whereas in the UK the topic of pay has always had a tinge of controversy, coupled with being mildly squirmish when asked about own pay. 

My angle on this is a little different. I have seen people on this forum say different things, such as "HR pays well" or "Well, we're obviously not in it for the money..." 

... which brings my question. What constitutes "well" for you (in the UK)? I know there will be regional discrepancies, but overall, what would you say is a good salary for an entry, mid and senior level HR professional? Is it £20k, £30k, £100k?

I wish I could make this into bands and put in into anonymous survey mode!

  • Jobs have popped up on our Glassdoor page that we don't have (Research scientist was one. We really don't have any of those) and salaries that are considerably higher than we actually pay. I contacted Glassdoor about this as I thought it would cause upset amongst current employees and they refused to amend it. They said the information came from a reliable source.
