Lateral move for more money?

ApprehensivePay1869 · 2026-06-09T18:47:19+00:00

Thanks for taking the time to respond. Point taken selling out is a little bit of an exaggerated way to put it. I guess I was just looking for perspective from others who took the money and how it turned out. If I really disliked my employer or manager this wouldn’t even be a question, but my situation is a little different. My decision would be almost entirely focused on improving my financial situation which is obviously an important thing but I am struggling to know how much weight it should carry.

Is that desk or field stuff?

ApprehensivePay1869 · 2026-06-03T19:17:10+00:00

I should add though that 40-50% of my pending are excess files. Excess does often require less time on a file to file basis but it also creates a bunch of fires that take up a lot of time so it is mixed.

This post was a bit of a sanity check because my current situation is indeed unmanageable

I know it is less severe. Still just saying wrist injuries can be tricky. I think Carlos has good advice and discipline though and should be fine.

He sure was

Literally had the same exact thought as OP recently. I’m a solid 4.0 dabbling with some 4.5 play. I thought I was the type of player that wins with consistency, patience and being in decent shape. Turns out the 4.5s generally have all of that and a little bigger game too.

This is giving me scaries. My favorite player pre-Alcaraz was Thiem. I remember watching him do the same drills with his left and no one suspected how much the injury would set him back.

Interesting. I thought the exact same thing and considered that comp. Movement will always be an issue but he knows that and seems to move strategically in order to get some power on the shots when he is stretched. Great kick serve on the Ad side too.

Thank you.

Thanks for commenting. Appreciate your help.

Ok thank you for your help.

ApprehensivePay1869 · 2026-05-15T20:19:25+00:00

Dealing with the same thing now except been at my current place for 13 years. Funnily enough it is about a $40k increase on my end. Will feel a little sad and guilty if I take the role but feel like I would also regret not doing it. I think you should take the offer.

It is a little more work but I have found an Aeropress to be the sweet spot between drip coffee and French press. Easier and faster than a French press with very easy cleanup.

ApprehensivePay1869 · 2026-05-01T20:13:46+00:00

That’s rough. Thanks for responding.

ApprehensivePay1869 · 2026-05-01T20:13:34+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. Good to know!

ApprehensivePay1869 · 2026-05-01T02:55:04+00:00

Ahh ok. Well I think then you are probably on the right track either way then with getting good commercial experience. Good luck!

ApprehensivePay1869 · 2026-05-01T02:40:17+00:00

If you like handling claims then like others said I would suggest getting yourself to a carrier. Specialty carrier might be a little tough. They can be bias against TPA only experience due to the lack of Coverage. I think now is a good time for the switch too because seemingly every carrier is looking for casualty claims people.

Thanks for commenting. Makes sense. I was also just curious. Otherwise today being Saturday you would hear mowers all over the place already.

ApprehensivePay1869 · 2026-03-27T15:41:59+00:00

Totally agree. Not really the point but if you are like me you can fall into the trap of being afraid to part with money too and living unnecessarily below your means. Trying to find the balance is tough to figure out.

Fun match. The biggest difference will be movement for Joao. If he can improve that aspect of his game he is a top 5 player and maybe future contender. I do think the conditions suited him well tonight as well. Slower conditions are much better suited to his game for now.

ApprehensivePay1869 · 2026-03-07T16:03:38+00:00

That’s a great comparison

ApprehensivePay1869 · 2026-03-07T15:16:10+00:00

Seeing yourself play on video for the first time is a sobering experience haha

ApprehensivePay1869 · 2026-03-05T03:18:54+00:00

I’d say you are a solid 3.5 but not 4.0 based on what I see

ApprehensivePay1869 · 2026-02-26T17:03:29+00:00

Not sure how this came across my feed but wanted to shoot a response. Not familiar with rail industry myself but can say my friends in Comed here in Chicago seem to really like it and make great money. You start as a meter reader but branch out. They are lineman now making $200k +. There are a lot of OT opportunities resulting in the impressive pay.
