I started with a company recruiting logistics professionals... They've doubled my work load and transitioned me into recruiting electrical engineers with security clearances ( so much more strict criteria), but my pay is the same.

I work completely remote and have surpassed all my quarterly goals this year.

I wanted to know if anyone had the same experience and what were your thoughts (pursue an MBA and leave your comfort zone and "good pay" or just stick with it). TIA!
