So what’s the problem? Lol. Sounds like a great situation. If you want more money, there are tons of enterprise sales roles with uncapped commission

Agreed, this sounds pretty good to me

Might be time to ask for a promotion or any challenging position, then.

I think this is a bit of a personal issue not so much your job. If you're not feeling motivated, that might be a prime indicator that you're either burnt out or in the wrong profession in general. Maybe take some time off to intentionally reflect and define what your long term goals are

I work in tech and have been at my current company for 6+ years now. I'm basically a senior level data analyst and I'm really the only person at my company with that skill set so I get A LOT of high priority requests from every dept. It can get overwhelming.
The idea was just floated to hire and train 2 analysts to work beneath me so that I can focus more on strategy, big picture and optimizations. Should I be asking for a raise and title change? I did get a pretty decent raise in February too.

Curious for everyone’s thoughts on real-estate right now.. my spouse and I are in Denver and trying to buy our first home. To get a halfway decent 3BR home, we have to spend upwards of 500k and still put a little work/investment in to update the home.. I can’t help but feel we should be waiting for 6 more months and seeing if the price drops.. I want to take advantage of the low rates right now, but can’t believe a half million still requires further investment to update the home.
