I left retail management for hospitality, thinking it’d be lighter, but my oh my was I wrong. The hours are brutal, and the pay is barely higher. What advice do you have for me, considering I'm trying to make a sustainable switch from this field to corporate work?

Try to focus on the corporate skills in whatever role you are in if that’s the goal. How the business runs, finances, all the big picture items.

Consider training or certifications in project management or admin tech to boost your profile. Or try to take the leadership route and highlight leadership, scheduling, hiring, and customer resolution skills on your resume as a bridge.

Think and act corporate and corporate will come to you.

I would be interested in knowing this too 👀

What corporate job are you looking to get? Based on that, practice the skills or training necessary to get there. It’s good to have a specific goal

What are some good practices during the sales phase of a potential project to execute before the contract is signed? Seems obvious but would love some ideas on standard operating procedures that help with seamlessly handing over a signed contract to the account team. For example, speaking to the potential client explicitly about their role in staying on schedule, reviewing scope creep consequences, etc.
