I was on Wall Street for 2.5 years... she is absolutely correct. I left NYC, moved to Virginia, got married became a commercial electrician, opened my own business and still worked long hours... but I made bank. I was in better shape, owned my own home, paid cash for my vechicals and eventually sold my business and went into sales. Vivian is spot on. Take a good long hard look at your life and make better choices.

What was your route to becoming commercial electrician? Like, how long did it take, and you have to go through a union apprenticeship type thing or was it independent? And if you don't mind my asking, what made you decide to sell your profitable business and go into sales? I've been considering both The electrical trade and sales as potential career paths and wondered if you had any advice. Thanks

@@breakingthemasks It takes 4 years to become an electrician. I became one because it was a pathway to owning my own business. No unions. You can't work as an electrician if your union has no work. Apply at a company and tell them you are green and want to become an electrician. The pay at first is low. And the work is hard. I sold my 3 businesses to the guys who helped me start my businesses. One started with me over a decade ago as a green helper and now owns the business he started with. My plan was to invest in 3 bigger construction companies that have a fantastic infrastructure in place and are expanding. That allows me to handle the sales and marketing side of business. That in turn has put me on the pathway to begin the process of starting a marketing company that specializes in construction marketing. I had a 25 year plan. I broke that plan down into goals and tasks.

@chfman4912
Жыл бұрын
Um hokay. Lemme break this down for you. Every singular experience does not unilaterally define everyone else’s experience across the board. There are many MANY variables that affect your pay, work environment, work life balance, etc. Starting off, not every job aka role within the same company is going to be paid exactly the same. First, the responsibilities of the role are considered, the market rate for similar roles on the street, and the skills and performance evaluation of the current job holder coupled with the management for that team>department>lob etc all factor into what the pay is going to be. And even with all things being equal, two people can do the same or similar roles but in two different departments and get paid differently because for example middle office jobs have different pay scales than front office or back office etc. Not to mention management pull is stronger in some areas able to get more approved. Also some lobs are considered profit generators while others are considered overhead. So the piece of the pie is smaller when budget is allocated for salaries and raises/bonuses etc. When it comes to management and your environment and work life balance, that is going to vary a lot as well. Different managers manage in different ways. I e had some that micromanaged and many who take a hands off approach and trust us to do our work and report up when we need to give status updates or request input/assistance. If you make an effort to look for roles in companies that share your values on those things, you might find a better fit. Or it may be that you were just never a good fit for corporate life to begin with. Yes there are roles that are inherently more stressful but that is the nature of some jobs like front office trading roles. But to generalize an entire firm or industry based on a personal experience is myopic especially when you’ve barely even started your career. You can’t work a few years and then decide you know everything there is about what a career long journey is going to be when others such as myself have over twenty years to draw on knowledge and know yes there are good parts and bad parts but it isn’t guaranteed to be the same experience for everyone when you factor in all the aforementioned variables. A career is a roller coaster of highs and lows. It’s never going to be just up up and away. I guess the one variable I forgot to mention is yourself. If you are going into a job or career expecting it to give you more than you give it because it owes you, then you are going to be disgruntled and rightfully so. Remember, you are being hired to work for someone else at the end of the day. Thankfully many companies are very good about focusing on employee satisfaction and employee values etc, things that some people would call ‘woke’ but actually help people achieve a better work life balance which the company is not legally required to do and which we should be thankful for rather than attack them over. Just my thoughts. I keep seeing these ‘I quit my wall st or corporate job’ videos by twenty somethings complaining over hours or pay or mean managers (she didn’t mention reporting that manager to HR for his sexist or racist comments btw. That’s interesting) and I feel like many of them are more for the views, subscribes, likes, and ad generating revenue than truth telling. Oh and the fact you expect to eventually be overpaid and underworked says everything one needs to know about your true morals and motive. It’s one thing to have that happen on its own, it’s another to go in expecting that as if you feel you deserve to do less work than your being paid for because your little special Vivian who wants a trophy just for showing up. EARN YOUR DAMN SALARY.

Needless to say, I left that company shortly after I’m not sure why these companies think because you were their employee they’re allowed to abuse you.

Same reason why I recommend young people not to go into accounting unless you plan on becoming a CPA and become a partner at a firm. It is not what it used to be, it is a saturated field, and in many cases comes with a low entry salary and you really have to work your way up. Just like WS, the goal has always been to get a degree in accounting and join one of the big four firms (Deloitte, KPMG…) but if you do, don’t think you landed in paradise, you’ll be working long hours and working hard to move your way up.
