Should I leave a job I genuinely enjoy and get paid well for one in which I get paid less but get to out my college degree to use and gain relevant experience? I genuinely love my job, but there's no opportunity for upward mobility and it's completely irrelevant to my degree. On the other hand the other offer I got sounds incredibly stressful and pays less, but it could help me further by career down the line. What should I do?

I have been searching for job from quite a long time and all I have seeing HR/Panels asking for
1. Number of implementation projects done.
2. Work experience on S4 Hana.

And if I don't have atleast any one of these, I will not be considered.

Is it really that important ?

I am interested in getting an executive career coach to help me understand how to get from where I am at now to an executive one day. I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on company or a person

I began a new position 2 months ago and took on a managerial position where I oversee a team and a week ago, my manager and I was discussing a delay that happened and how she gave my team feedback and suddenly she said to me that she doesn’t mind restructuring the team and make it a team where everyone reports to her. She also said that the only reason she is “allowing” me to lead is to gain management experience. I was shocked because I got hired as an experienced manager. What would you do?

I was given a promotion 6mos ago & told that the position was a lateral move & a raise would be given at my 6 month mark. Throughout my time at time at this company I’ve realized that they call people in to give their raise on the exact date of milestones (i.e: 6 mos, 1yr, & so on). It’s now been one week since my 6 months in this new position. I’d like to reach out to my boss and set up a meeting to review my work & discuss a raise. Should I wait a bit longer or should I set this up now?
