I really don’t think this job is worth the stress. I make 40K to work super long hours. Is there better out there? This is my first CM job.

Yeah, I'm sure you can find much better jobs. Make sure to check on LinkedIn or Indeed and see if there are any remote offers or anything close to your area!

If you're feeling underpaid then I think you should heck out Glassdoor and see how much a community manager in your area makes. I'm sure you will be very surprised by what you find!

It can be tough to feel like you're putting in a lot of work and not getting enough back, especially when it's your first job. It's important to remember that the best way to find something that fits your needs better is to do your research and explore other options.

There are lots of opportunities out there, so it may be worth exploring what else is available. Take the time to look into different possibilities, read up on industry trends, and consider the pros and cons of each option before making a decision.

Is finding another job a possibility? You deserve to have a life outside of work. No one should have to work long hours, especially not for a low salary.

Hi & welcome.
Tell me your stories. Why made you decide to choose a career that's different and creative? I'll start. I am an extrovert. I am not very keen of studying and that, ideally is the reason why engineering or medical was not my cup of tea. I chose Journalism and Mass Media. In the academics, we had multiple subjects and one of them was Writing for media. This was the beginning. This is where I thought I can be a writer. A Content Writer. Besides this, I am love Rhyming Words.
