Title is self explanatory, what app does everyone use?
I'm using superhero for investing shares, any other good options I should consider?
Side question - I currently have a few hundred bucks in shares, what ETF should I consider as a first safe investment?
Hi everyone,
UPDATE: the point of the post is for career advice not how I afford my mortgage. (clarification: partner earns more than me to cover more than half of the mortgage)
thanks in advanced for anyone who reads this.
for some background I’m 30 years old in the finance/sales industry. I started in 2019 in Telstra as a sales rep. since then I have moved from job to job every 1-2 years, and have had 5 seperate jobs including the one I have now as an account manager in corporate currently being in it for 14 months and I’m finding myself in a repeat situation wanting to move again. I believe this is a mixture of boredom as well as sales pressure and struggle. I’m by no means the top performer in my roles and never have been so. I’d say I’m average at best. Now, I’m in the same situation struggling to hit numbers as well as being bored of the repetitiveness the roles bring With to much rejection/sales pressure. I do not enjoy the sales aspect trying to desperately claw at the quota each month while dealing with rejection that comes along with it. It could be as simple as sales is not for me and I have somehow scrapped by for the last 7 years. I do tend to find myself comparing my performance to others asking how are they doing so well when I believe I do all I can for a business/customer
my question to everyone is, for my current position what could be a good fit for me? I have an 800k mortgage currently earning 78k + commission bringing me close to the 95k mark. The partner earns more than me and covers more than half of the mortgage. I don’t relish the idea of going to university and starting a 4 year degree due to the time commitment and cost. I have applied for over 15 APS roles and have received 1 interview I knew I butchered immediately but have considered this is my only next step and will continue to apply.
Again, thank you all for reading my post and appreciate any feedback or criticism on my experience/life choices and welcome any and all input.
cheers
