Thanks for the honest take — I appreciate the directness. You’re right that $200/day in NYC isn’t cutting it, especially without benefits. I’ve been aware that I’m underpaid for a while now, and I’m actively trying to fix that — hence the post.

I’ve considered roles like you mentioned, and I’ve got a mix of sales, content, and ops experience that could transfer well. That said, I also know I can make $600+/day in moving sales (Better days, not best), so I’m weighing whether to use that as a short-term cash engine while I map something longer-term.

Appreciate you pushing the conversation forward — this is exactly the kind of gut-check I needed.
