I am in a role that allows significant autonomy and free time, but not where I believe I should be salary wise. Suggestions on moving into management/strategic roles (significant pay increase), even in a new industry?

Are you commissioned?

I would find a job with a flat commission rate. I’ve always made more than my managers doing that

That's not a bad plan at all. To advance into management or strategic roles and earn a higher salary, first identify your strengths and weaknesses, then network with people in the industry you want to work in, gain management or strategic role experience, upskill by taking courses or attending workshops, and be open to new opportunities.

Would anyone recommend or share a side hustle that would complement a banker’s 8-5 M-F schedule? As of now, I do an hour DoorDash before work and after work I do DoorDash and Instacart for a couple hours. I do this as well on the weekends targeting about $200-300 a week since I am in a really small market. Looking for more creative, cost effective, and efficient ways I can supplement my average salary. TIA!

Hi everyone! Can anyone tell me what you make as a typical banquet/events manager for salary or per hour? I’ve worked for Marriott/Bonvoy at the Ritz and for the Curio Collection with Hilton as a bartender/server/banquets captain. Now I’m working for a privately owned hotel and as a manager role in Banquets/Events. Because of pandemic times, what is everyone else making?

I can’t get out. I’m a barred attorney looking to move into a JD preferred role. I don’t like being at a firm. I’ve applied to hundreds (literally) of contract, compliance, regulatory, etc. sort of jobs. I’m not looking for a crazy salary either. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. How do I make the switch? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

I had a job interview for a role that I really want. The hiring manager scheduled me for an interview and did not show up.

This is a major red flag, but I can’t help but feel that I am missing out since this role pays 50% over what I currently make. Should I let the recruiter know? What’s your take on this?
