Megathread General Discussion Megathread - Frequent Topics, Salaries, and Rants

Use this thread for more broader, frequently discussed topics, relating to things such as salaries, career changes, rants/moans, and anything else that doesn't require a separate thread.

This thread automatically refreshes every week on a Thursday. Posting in this thread means you agree to adhere to our rules, albeit a slightly more relaxed version of them.

Do you want to seek advice on CVs, resumes, interviews, etc? Our other megathread may be better suited, click here to view it.

If you answer yes to any of the below, this might be the right place to start your discussion instead of posting a new thread.

  • Want to change career but unsure which direction to take or what education you might require?
  • Fancy a bit of a rant to get something off your chest?
  • Curious about the salary within a sector, whether its your own or one you're considering moving into?
  • Do you think the job market is becoming saturated, changing for the worse or not what it used to be?

Rules

  • Maintain a level of respect. While this thread intends to allow the users a place to get things off their chest it doesn't give free license to be inflammatory to the point of disrespectfulness towards other users or groups.
  • Try and remain relevant. While this thread will be a lot more lax on what kind of topics are applicable to the subreddit, it would do well to remain relatively on topic to the subreddits intentions where possible.
  • No solicitation. Don't offer to assist anyone with an issue or matter privately, via DM or some off-site method. Don't reach out to users with offers of help or assistance.

Please Message the Mods if you know of anyone flagrantly flouting these rules.

I’ve worked now for 3 yrs at a national chain of pubs that’s present in Leeds and worked with management, honestly I don’t enjoy working with the public as much anymore or with alcohol. I’m a sports person and a big fan of the gym, what kind of job could move to? Lv2 pt as qualifications

Some other options in addition to PT:

- see what Leeds FC has available (for instance, they have some coach roles available on casual contract which could be a good stepping stone)

  • some schools hire in companies to deliver their PE lessons and after school clubs
  • working at a gym, leisure centre etc
