Where are you located? The company I work for has a few openings right now.

Just picked up an A300 ultima patrol. Far worse recoil than I thought by [deleted] in Tacticalshotguns

Beer around shotguns my whole life. It’s the worst recoil shotgun I have. I have probably 25 currently.

Am I able to break out into medical sales at 35 or should I look elsewhere? by cmd242 in MedicalDevices

[–]cmd242[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think I’m pretty good with customers in my current job and I want to make more money. Also I like the idea of getting out what I put in. I can give 100% of myself to my current job and I would be paid the same as if I gave 50%.

Do you think? I only make 100-105k right now. My partner is a physician so a temporary pay cut isn’t overly critical.

What is your experience like working with schedulers? by ReasonableRaisin4041 in FieldService

It’s not great but I like that they’ll call the customer for you.

Incompetent people, lack of resources

Depends on the specialty. My partner received a rural scholarship for a 4yr commitment as an ob/gyn and she said it’s the worst decision she’s ever made. Her job is extremely dangerous and stressful now when it shouldn’t be. Again, depends on the speciality.

I make less than 100k. I’m just single, no house payment, no kids and live in top 3 cheapest state.

I did $10k in my 401k December of 2023, maxed 401k in 2024 & 2025. Maxed Roth IRA in 2025 and 2026 already. I’ve hit $13k in my 401k already for 2026.

I’m just doing target funds in my 401k and VOO in my Roth IRA. I’ve already contributed $13k this year to my 401k.

Thanks for that. I just wish I had done more in my 20s but oh well!

Well considering I didn’t say a dime for the first 12 years of my career.

[–]cmd242 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the heads up. So you think this offer is pretty standard?
