What industry are you aligned to?

@M1, that's the plan. Been told I'm being recommended for promo this year. @A1, I'm in the high tech industry

That's true I suppose.

How much are you paid OP? I know it's def not enough to live like this, but curious to see what bouncing you around like a human ping pong across the world gets you...

@K1 answer - Not enough....currently sitting at $164k base, hoping that gets a nice bump with promo to SM.

164k is A LOT of money. But not in this situation. Would you take 120 to be VP and live in one city? Granted, VPs still travel, but not to this extent.

Sadly, probably not. I think I've grown too accustomed to the fast pace lifestyle and financial freedom.
