Hi, I’m new here and pretty much in the industry too , I have experience in food service and bartending (a year) in different companies but I do have a bachelors degree in hospitality and administration with a minor in events management and I would like to know how I can get a job that would help get up the ladder and make a good salary? Like which kind of job I could apply for and get hired that would help me to climb up the fastest?
Thank you in advance!

Depends which direction you’d like to go. Beverage manager or restaurant manager are options, but also sales rep for a beverage company or sales coordinator in a hotel and move up from there.

With your knowledge, I would say that a bartender's bar would be a special place for you, in this part of the hotel business if you have discipline and great commitment in a short time you can be promoted to head bartender and then to manager. I wish you luck on your way. That was my path and I did very well.

I would look into hotels, specifically in the event department. You can start out as an event services manager making $25 an hour, and then move up to event manager and senior event manager, making 80k or more depending on your market. Going the restaurant route in management will mean long hours with not as much pay. Senior event managers work fairly normal business hours and have weekends off if there’s not an event at the time. If there is, you take Monday off or whatever. It’s good pay and good work life balance and can lead to more opportunities in the corporate event space later on.

You’re looking to end in a general manager position- which can net you over 6 figures - eventually.

Hi! I have been working in marketing and advertising for ~5 years and recently started exploring the freelance side of things.

I’m certified through meta’s platform too if that matters.

Hi All,
In the HR discussion, we both agreed on 30L CTC (10% Variable) and 1L joining bonus. But later after 2-3 days when they need to release the offer, HR is saying they got the approval for 28L CTC(10% variable) and 2L joining bonus.

Should I take that offer and look for other options or straight forward reject the offer and then look for other options?

Also, according to this behaviour of the HR, is it good behaviour?
