After staying at hotels as part of work travel, I feel like I really want to be part of this industry going forward. What are some ways to switch to this industry full time? My background is in tech consulting so wondering if being a hotel manager or even owning some small properties is an option for me.

As hotel manager' you will need background in budgets, forecasting, and background in hotel operations (guest services, back of house, food/beverage)

Yes, open to joining on the tech side. I think I really want to give it a shot so let me know if you have recommendations on part time work.

Recently accepted a temp role as an HR admin for a former employer. Previously interned there & left because my supervisor did not have any growth opportunities planned out for me; this was in spite of my stellar performance, as reflected in my 90 day review. She has since left the company, but there’s crazy turnover in the company & in the HR department in particular. Just that an HR coordinator resigned. Is it worth going back into a dumpster fire w/ no leadership to gain experience?

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?
