Getting a mentor/sponsor. It helps broaden horizons. If you get a great mentor they can open doors for you buy introducing you to different areas, people..

I started my career in ministry making 25k annually (and was “higher paid” 😳) and after several moves, make around $120k annually. A few things:

your network matters, cultivate it and invest in people who may not directly be in your field.

Focus on learning new skills: titles and JD’s change, you add the most value when you have a variety of skills.

Work for people and teams who support your goals and will enable your career vs. restrict opportunities.

A lot of people here seem to glamorize MANGA positions - good pay, and good WLB. There has to be a catch, right?

I have an offer accepted from Elevance 125k (Anthem) and w a good team and seems that WLB would be ok. Also, Amazon hiring manager wants to interview me for a job. Is just a hiring manager int. so obvi nothing guaranteed. Salary if offered will be more than 150k. My question is should I accept the interview and see where it goes? Is it really worth it to proceed with a company like Amazon for 25k+. I live in CA so $ is imp but I do have a toddler so WLB is also imp. Both role are Sr. MGR.

Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs.
