Wanting some advice on salary benchmarking if possible as I'm unsatisfied with current.

My role involves end to end recruitment for a range of roles: tradespeople, engineers, warehousing, admin across Australia & NZ. Global niche business, 20-25 reqs on average.

I have 1 year of experience within recruitment + 5 years of sales exp before then in a different industry.

If you were in a similar role in Australia, what range would you feel comfortable with if you had similar experience level?

Something about me is both a curse and a blessing - I can't ignore what is not clear, logical, aligned, and simple. Even if that means that I have to work several minutes or hours extra on a document or an email. Things bother me if they aren't as expected. Unless I understand something clearly, I can't let it go. This is what helped me excel at studies. At work, my obsession makes it hard for people around me. If people complain about me, should I just let it go or change my approach?

I’m 51 years old. For many reasons that would make this post too long, I’ve had a very slow profesional growth. I am finding myself more and more isolated as I see that most of my coworkers are much younger than me. I’d like to find a job environment where I could relate more to my peers. How do I look for job opportunities where I can find more people of my same age group? I don’t want to be the only old person in my creative group. Should I be looking in-house? Pharma? Any ideas are welcome.

I just have to say that signing up for therapy (and finding my current therapist) was one of the best decisions I made in my life. I’m learning a lot about myself and how to live a happier life.

Getting to the point where some days I completely shut down. Cry in the bathroom at work. Can’t do anything. Next day I can manage it all pretty well. Im under a tremendous amount of pressure (working 2+ roles) with no leadership and minimal help. I’m really good at hiding/covering up my emotions so I’m sure no one knows. I just can’t imagine going through this cycle much longer. Not emotionally stable enough to even think about interviewing.

I told her It’s too heavy when she says stuff like that to me and I want to help. Idk what to say to her.

So my bipolar dad got declined for a mortgage because disability gets shut off in < 3 years when he turns 65. So now he wants me to co-sign for him. Between housing markets being up, my concerns over his money mgmt, and concerns over tying up my credit there’s no way I can say yes. He sold his house before being approved for the new one he put in for (against my advice). I know he won’t understand and will take this personally, and the family will probably take his side. Gonna be a long week…
