A manager hinted that tips could make up for lower base pay. That feels uncertain. Do you factor tips heavily when choosing a role?

As someone in hospitality, I look at the full picture. Tips definitely matter, but so do volume, clientele, management, tip-out, consistency, and whether the money is realistic week after week. Potential is one thing—consistency is another. In every position i have had, I live off of my tips. My paychecks go to taxes, 401k, health benefits… my paycheck is $0.00 - BUT in tips over $1000 weekly.

I guess they aren’t always guaranteed but contract is

I don’t work tipped positions. If I did, I would. Most tipped employees make a lower base wage. I honestly would be apprehensive in taking a tipped position altogether because of the uncertainty. But if the place is busy, you could have real success and make very good money.

Quite frankly, at 30 years old I am not looking for a job that says anything within the likes of “tips” and/or “commission”

I’m getting put up for manager a year early. I have PPMD ,SM, and M support. Pretty much support from all the key individuals on my team and in my service line. Since it is a year early if i don’t get promoted this round I know it’ll come mid year but I do expect a good salary increase still without the promo. If I don’t get the promo nor a salary increase that I’m okay with, how do I let my partner know that I will begin to entertain outside offers? some of which have offered the manager role.

I'm the hiring mgr for designers in my org. I recently discovered pay band information given to me by the HR generalist I'm working with on hiring was outdated and updated bands had been released over the summer (prior to my hire date). The outdated information had led me to believe a prime candidate was out of range. Aside from incompetence, can anyone think of a reason why HR might have withheld information about the pay bands? I assume mgrs see the full monty when it comes to pay...right?
