I'll stick around for the bonus but want to make my side hustle my main career next year.
The side hustle is Scentsy...

If you call Scentsy a business, wait until you hear what pyramid schemes are..

Ahaha! This is what I am thinking at the moment. Please tell us you're just kidding, OP! LOL

Surely someone at Deloitte would know what a scam Scentsy is. Surely someone from Deloitte is smarter than wanting to become a hun. This has got to be a joke

There are people who make money at multi-level marketing, I ain't one of them, and never will be.

The skill set required (being gregarious, making friends continuously faster than you burn through the pyramid scheme downline, all while selling enough product to replace a full time salary) is just no place close to my engineering wheelhouse.

Almost no one makes money in MLM. Only the top through major recruiting. All FTC numbers show that about 99% make little to no money. Many lose money after personal volume, fees, and standard business costs. You do you,but the rest of us will sit back and laugh. Also, when you fail to rise to the top, Scentsy will not look good on your resume.

I can think of many other sales commission based careers that one can actually make money at, if you have the skill set required (being gregarious, making friends continuously faster than you burn through the pyramid scheme downline, all while selling enough product to replace a full time salary) to make money at MLM.

Business insurance springs to mind, but that's only because I've recently introduced my post-millennial son to the Gilmore Girls.

MLM? Sorry but very few, if any, actually make it to be their main career. Best of luck though.

Not a good choice to have an unapproved side hustle....

I agree with the first sentence. I am not gonna lie I was shocked reading the second sentence. Tell us you're just kidding now.

Wait, what? I hope you're not serious on this one, OP. But to each his own I guess.

LOL. Everyone calm down. The OP's just joking. Or that's what I am hoping for. lol

Funny post! hahha good luck with that venture friend.

Well, do you have any plans of applying for a full-time job again? I think your side hustle will not last long.

Happy Wednesday everyone. I'm so excited, I have a recruiter call scheduled with @Meta for Administrative Partner position. I've been in my current employer role for 19 years and I'm nervous as heck. I haven't had to do an interview in so long. Can someone please tell me what to expect with the recruiter call? I'm assuming it will be mostly about the role, my skills and background? Do they ask salary expectations? I have no idea what to say for the salary question. Feedback appreciated. Thanks

Is anyone concerned the push for sexual equality in pay without accordant leveling of parental leave is gonna backfire?

Company considers the woman a riskier bet due to possibility she’ll take maternity leave — and considers the man less risky for his ineligibility to take as much leave. 🤷

So, some of my co-workers simply said that they want to go ahead and start something or start looking elsewhere (career change) because they don't know how much it will last at the pace we are going in regards to case intake and pay out. Should I start panicking or simply start looking elsewhere? They even they even told me if I was looking elsewhere or planned on doing so also. I found it weird in a way.
