I am curious to look elsewhere to possibly make better money for my family. Any ideas on what to look for? I have 8 years of law enforcement experience and a bunch of related certs. I was thinking insurance adjuster for crashed vehicles or executive protection, but when I check the job sites all I can find are damned sales jobs. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I am not sure where you live nor how much compensation you are receiving; but you may want to look at Inter-Con Armed Diplomat Security Officer or a comparable job / company. I am a former Captain and in less than a year, I will make more money as a rookie with them than I did as a Captain.
My quality of life, and work life balance are much better also.

I can relate to your situation. I recently decided to leave my law enforcement career to pursue a different field. It took some time, but I eventually discovered a career path that was a much better fit for me. I found success by networking with people in my desired field and taking courses to gain the necessary skills and certifications to find a better-paying job. You could try something similar, and there are plenty of resources available to help you. Good luck!

How much do you need to make? You can make decent income as a fed, especially once you’ve been on a few years.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?
