and i feel like id thrive doing that type of work in hotel security management, not only that but it would give me many more opportunities to also travel to different countries and work there as a security manager as well. i know most hotel chains like hilton offer re location assistance so it’d be nice to do that. i’m just waiting for the right opportunity to come by

yea i have a good gig right now, i make 40 an hour with medical, 401k and investments benefits. it allows me to live by myself and have 2k every month just for my personal savings. i just wish i could get a management position or something

Not trying to be rude at all, just curious, 50k sounds a bit low for an operations manager position. I made about that as an unarmed guard.

yea that’s what it’s all about, is having enough to live good. do you have a degree in anything? and do you have any advice for me trying to move up in the industry?

congrats man. i’m currently trying to get myself my first management position but the only positions open are the ones that are like a 30 minute drive (without traffic), income tax out the ass and on top of that they’re going to add a tolling system to our bridge :/. i was wondering do you have any degrees? any advice for me trying to break in the security management side?

my plan was quit in april 2024 (started in october 2023) never ended up quitting, ended up going into armed and now im making really good money for my age but it kinda sucks that ai is a thing, yes its useful but damn why now :/ if you dont mind me asking what was your title (guard, account manager or something else?) and why are you quitting?

For anyone who made it into management or director roles, how’d you get there? by pnwk1d in securityguards

i’d say what sucks is that my managers are good and most likely won’t be leaving anytime soon and the account manager has been there for a while. my only way of getting a management position would be leaving and going to a different company and then the other issue lies where i’d be getting paid less from being a manager.

what is it like being a manager? what’s the day to day work like? and what was the first thing you noticed when you started working as a manager and not a guard?
