So I’m nearly 4 years into my career and began making $100k this year as a social media buyer. While this is a lot of money as a 27 year old, my current job function is not challenging at all. My workload is also extremely light. While this may be an enviable situation for some, I’m worried my career is going nowhere. The account I’m on is the same one I’ve been on for more than 2 years and I’ve already asked off without luck. Has anyone else experienced a lack of challenge in their job role?

How much rent do you pay? It’s an honest question… I feel like in NY it’s never enough… 100k you bring home 5k after taxes insurance, etc. rent 2k? You have 3k left… you turn a corner here you spend $100…

Good for you. Keep saving those $$$!

Should have been a planner

Planning teams often get paid less and work more from my experience
