Become a contractor. When I was a perm I made awful money. Now as a contractor I make £10,000 - £14000 a month (assuming I work a full month :-)).

In case you really don't want to become a contractor and want to stay perm I recommend changing job every 2 years or so. Staying in the same job and getting small pay increases (or even a promotion) will always be less than leaving and going to a new job, which will pay more. Most people make more money by switching ladders rather than trying to climb the ladder.
