I am 24. I am debating on if I should start my masters so I can finish it by 26/27. But, I want to focus on investment properties and get into that area more than getting a better job. Is investing in a masters worth it?

I invested in a condo at 24 and am now doing my masters. Honestly I think I chose the right order because I’ve earned $30k on the value of my condo in the last 4 years, and it wasn’t until this year that I found a subject I actually want to study. If I went at 24, it probably would’ve been money wasted.

13 yr outside Sales Experience in the B2B space, multiple roles/companies. Current quota is $15MCAD, I usually do not bad in quota but lately has shifted to rewarding medicorciy and "pooling" some numbers countrywide which i really dont like.
Current comp is $85k Base and $115 OTE with a ceiling of $150k CAD/$120k US. Feel it's too little for my experience and they are taking perks away by the day.
Thinking of moving to I tech sales? Anyone else do it? What's comp look like?

I am a mid level and have received an offer from a regional big law firm in a non-market paying location. I believe the firm would be a great fit and the location is where I want to be.
