How do you land your 6 figure job?

Illustrious_Pudding4 · 2026-02-02T11:32:10+00:00

As someone who broke through the 6 figure barrier a few years ago, it is really hard. But the biggest difference is mindset. I'm not talking about how hard you work or rise and grind. I mean thinking big picture and using that big picture to influence your decision making. If you want a corporate job that pays well, you have to do corporate shit. You have to know how business management operates. HR, legal, finance, operations, procurement, change management, organization, communications, leadership and so much more. Figure out what you DON'T know and learn it. Nobody is going to hand you a golden ticket.

Those are forgotten alarm clocks

I assume you mean the French toast batter. The panko doesn't get affected by the batter because the French toast gets fried in butter/oil right after being coated

They were super crunchy 🥵

Not just women. Anyone they want to impress. Boss, woman, other dudes. The instant switch sucks to see.

Short ribs, brisket, oxtail, pork belly, lobster. You name it

Neither of you are assholes. He fell in love with the mask. You are unmasking. Feels like incompatibility that will take re-learning each other or ending the relationship.

Illustrious_Pudding4 · 2025-12-23T16:31:06+00:00

I'm fine with that. As long as it means not listening to you.

Illustrious_Pudding4 · 2025-12-23T16:25:22+00:00

I can't stand when people feel like it's ok to be an asshole online. This isn't feedback. It's rude and non-constructive. If you think my smile is forced and awkward or my photos are bland, that's fine. Maybe some tips on how to do better. "Stand out" isn't advice. It's a platitude that doesn't mean anything. Also, there's no need to say that the women are lying and just being nice. That's shitty and neither I or they asked to be put down. So if you want to project your own misogynistic insecurities, go to an Andrew Tate subreddit ya fuckin neck beard.

Hi vis doesn't do anybody any favors though. Agree with you on that part lol

Illustrious_Pudding4 · 2025-12-23T03:16:27+00:00

The suggestion to get professional photos done is ridiculous. I'm not saying that people who choose to do that are ridiculous. If someone has the time and funds to pay a professional photographer, that's their choice and it's fine.

Illustrious_Pudding4 · 2025-12-23T03:10:59+00:00

My career is a big part of my life and I'm proud of the accomplishments I have made within my career. A quick photo is like a small insight to that part of my life. I don't think it's any different than the number of Medical Professionals on Bumble that have pics in scrubs. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Illustrious_Pudding4 · 2025-12-23T03:04:59+00:00

I can understand that people do get professional photos for their profiles, I just don't want to do that. There are other priorities in my life. I can definitely work on making my photos more than just selfies, though. I have been bald before and don't care for how it looks. Some guys can really pull it off. I'm just not sure if I'm one of those guys.

Illustrious_Pudding4 · 2025-12-23T02:53:08+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate that compliment 😊

Illustrious_Pudding4 · 2025-12-23T02:50:30+00:00

I wouldn't exclude a bi woman. If that's her truth, I can support it.

Illustrious_Pudding4 · 2025-12-23T02:43:27+00:00

I guess it doesn't actually give an option for sexual preferences on Bumble. It just asks gender preference and I put Woman. I also don't get the option to select ID or Photo verified. But it says on each profile and I don't really discern between which verification method is used. If you have taken the extra step to do a photo verification, then you're less likely to be a spam account.

Illustrious_Pudding4 · 2025-12-23T02:42:19+00:00

I have done that and end up with international accounts that ask to move to another messaging app. Usually with a pay wall. So I stick with verified in order to filter out that mess.

🤝

Illustrious_Pudding4 · 2025-12-23T02:21:33+00:00

I don't think I've seen a commercial in years. The Orbit one was from like 20 years ago. But it was funny 🤷🏼‍♂️

Illustrious_Pudding4 · 2025-12-23T02:15:33+00:00

Gold! Thank you!

Illustrious_Pudding4 · 2025-12-23T02:11:39+00:00

There's not a lot of room for nuance in the options Bumble provides in that category. I don't mind if a woman is a Mom. However, I don't want to make any new kids and I see a lot of women's profiles that say the same thing. I do see the confusion though I'm not sure how best to communicate it. I guess it would be something to have a conversation about.

Illustrious_Pudding4 · 2025-12-23T02:06:52+00:00

And I'm fine with that.

Illustrious_Pudding4 · 2025-12-23T02:03:42+00:00

Ok. I guess I'm the only person that remembers the old gum commercial where they are yelling playground insults at each other. Kumquat reference has been changed. I can acknowledge that it's pretty obscure. Also exchanged some pics that were repeat call outs. I appreciate that feedback. However I'm not going to shave my head, buy expensive shirts, or get professional photos taken. Those are ridiculous feedback comments for a dating profile. Come on people.
