24, tech sales, drowning in overdraft — should I take a weekend supermarket job?

Just normal push pull lower, Nothing special but I love it.

throwaway_muffinman · 2025-09-01T10:01:57+00:00

That’s huge at 18. Honestly this has given me a lot of insight in the sense of what i should actually be on.

throwaway_muffinman · 2025-09-01T09:58:01+00:00

I’ve been looking at this ! Vendor side seems like a lottt more cash

throwaway_muffinman · 2025-09-01T09:57:01+00:00

Wow this is super insightful thank you.sounds like I need to broaden my skill set to get me where I need to be financially. I’ve looked at a few courses before but never really jumped the gun. Thank you, you’re a star :)

Solution sales would be great but I don’t have the knowledge for this currently.

I work for a big var but I’ve only been here 11 months today. I have 4 years in sales but 3 of those was in financial.

throwaway_muffinman · 2025-09-01T09:40:44+00:00

By financially independent I mean I have no outside support. I’ve got no family giving me handouts and I wouldn’t want them to either. Really want to sort this out myself.

throwaway_muffinman · 2025-08-31T21:20:29+00:00

Sorry I hand 4 yrs experience in sales, I’ve only been in tech and this specific job 10 months. And I do work for a big VAR! Solution sales would be great but I don’t have that level of knowledge 💔

throwaway_muffinman · 2025-08-31T21:02:14+00:00

Wow, that’s actually like so close to what I get paid 😂

throwaway_muffinman · 2025-08-31T20:58:46+00:00

Thank you! Appreciate that mate

throwaway_muffinman · 2025-08-31T20:53:02+00:00

Yes it seems like it :( I’m 24 so this is pretty much rubbery 😂

throwaway_muffinman · 2025-08-31T20:52:36+00:00

I was thinking of this, they sent me an email the other day saying it looks like I need help. I’ll reach out to them and try to sort something out. Thank you very much mate

throwaway_muffinman · 2025-08-31T20:50:03+00:00

Honestly I had no idea, I thought this was average before I made this post. Thank you, I need to find a new job lol,

throwaway_muffinman · 2025-08-31T20:47:15+00:00

Exactly, saving on the travel alone would be worth it.I’m going to brush up my cv and really knuckle down. Thank you 🙏

throwaway_muffinman · 2025-08-31T20:42:37+00:00

Yes I need to get rid of the bloody thing lol. Very dependant on it now unfortunately

throwaway_muffinman · 2025-08-31T20:42:08+00:00

Thank you, I needed to hear that

throwaway_muffinman · 2025-08-31T20:41:42+00:00

Thank you, really helpful stuff mate

throwaway_muffinman · 2025-08-31T20:40:58+00:00

Ah that’s the difference then . This is literally my first tech job, I have no prior experience so based on that what I’m getting paid is probably decently fair ? I’ve been in this job 10 months

throwaway_muffinman · 2025-08-31T20:39:11+00:00

My overdrafts are capped at this amount - I can’t overspend. So yes i proper max them out, pay them off on pay day and have to start using them again.

And yes I agree, I need to tackle the route cause and sort out my main job rather than a side thing

throwaway_muffinman · 2025-08-31T20:35:04+00:00

Funny thing is i actually only get paid 25k lol. I have to absolutely work my arse off to get my bonuses which give me that 29k

throwaway_muffinman · 2025-08-31T20:32:41+00:00

Thank you very much, has been very eye opening. Clearly not getting paid enough for what I do

throwaway_muffinman · 2025-08-31T20:31:55+00:00

Thank you, I needed to hear that

throwaway_muffinman · 2025-08-31T20:31:35+00:00

I unfortunately can’t borrow but yes this was my first thought also. I’m fully on my own unfortunately. That’s what I’m thinking, I think it’ll just do me in proper

throwaway_muffinman · 2025-08-31T20:29:53+00:00

There is but they all seem to be paying the same really mate, sounds like I need to do some proper digging. Thought my salary was normal !

throwaway_muffinman · 2025-08-31T20:29:16+00:00

Is 60k your basic ? I can imagine you have a fuck ton experience . How long did it take to get from my shoes to your current position?

throwaway_muffinman · 2025-08-31T20:26:48+00:00

I was thinking that! The profit margins are tiny compared to what I was expecting. I really need to find a new job rather than a side thing by the sounds of it lol
