Alllllll the time, but all my responsibilities and fears are keeping it as just a dream for now. I know I'd be happier if I was able to do my own thing; I just don't feel ready or able to sacrifice the security of a paycheck for it yet.

Sure, I'll think about going off on my own, and I've made notes at times for a business plan. But the problem as I see it would be coming up with a business that works. Most of these startups, if you really look at them, are doing things that nobody asked for. Or they're trying to work in a space that's already full of experienced people with mature companies. If I came up with something that I thought would work, I'd go for it, but that's a challenge.

I started doing freelance work a couple years ago, didn’t make a ton, but gave me that glimpse into being my own boss. I’m still working at it, not enough to totally commit though. Tons of learning curves and lessons learned the hard way. Has been extremely rewarding even though it’s still small.

I hope you don’t really think that you have any security with that paycheck

Being promoted to Director of Sales Development at my current company. Based in Toronto.

I personally know a few SDR managers that make more. Am I being lowballed? I don’t want to come off as sounding ungrateful for the promotion.
