"Everybody can be a leader" some say... "Leaders are nurtured not born" say others... True.

But... this is also true: "not everybody wants to be a leader" (whether they can or can't be). It is a fairly common practice in organizations with traditional career management structures for people to "be promoted" into leadership roles as the "end steps of the corporate ladder" that was climbed doing technical work. And, unfortunately, this doesn't work all the time

I am 28 and am a Sr Mgr in strategy at a bay area consumer tech company. I feel like my comp is super inflated - TC for the next 12 months is ~$440k: ~230k cash, ~$150k equity / yr, and another $60k retention if i stay til july.

I feel like moving on will be my best chance for vertical movement to the director level and that I am not progressing my career much further, but I know I can’t make this much money elsewhere…

Moving on from Hotels (Hospitality)?

I’ve been thinking about this for awhile now, but it is very to commit to actually accept a new job offer since I really do love my job. My only complaint is, the pay vs workload is very small. I’m a manager now and my property offered me a director position… but the salary is still low! To make six figures, it’ll take another 5-6 years to grind it out.

Should I move on and go to a different industry? Opinions are welcome! Thanks in advance.

I left my 1st job out of college 2 years ago. I know people who went back. And lately I’ve been considering it a lot. It was a small federal contracting company. The client was amazing. I left because I wanted to explore what a bigger company had to offer. Would it be weird to reach out to see if there’s any possibility of coming back? Left on a great note and am still in touch with a lot of people there. I just really miss the team, client, low stress, flexibility (alternative work schedule).
