How do you communicate about burnout with your manager? What about when you’re aiming for a promotion?

I’m a team of one and have been so for close to 2 years now. I’m a high performer in a pretty specialized role but essential role and doing this job alone is overwhelming.

I’ve been vocal about asking for more people, but I’m feeling very burnout and need some sort of change at work to hold me over.

Depends on your manager, company culture, and what is causing your burnout. Became though - expressing burn out but asking for a promotion (more responsibility & potentially stress) sends a mixed message.

I have a business idea in the VR/AR space utilizing AI. However, I lack skill sets to evaluate viability or to create an MVP. Neither do I have a network to tap into.

My plan is taking classes to deepen my knowledge while joining and actively participating in communities to find collaborators.

Does this approach make sense or do you recommend other approaches? If it makes sense, do you have any recommendations for classes or communities?

Look forward to hearing your experiences and wisdom!

Full time Pharmacy Tech in Pittsburgh and I make $16.50/hour in a retail setting. I've been doing it for over 3.5 years.

Plus there is no real opportunity for growth.

Will this experience help me move into SaaS or dev sales in the future? The money is attractive, but looking to sell in the tech space long term. Is MPS as the primary product a bad way to start my tech sales career?

Advice on pivoting into Sales from Accounting? I know I have the skills and it’s a better fit, personality-wise.
