Seeking Advice
Hello everyone! I’ve spent the last two years working in an agency, and while I’ve been doing reasonably well, I’m finding the stress to be quite overwhelming. I’m looking for suggestions on alternative career paths that aren’t commission-based. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Hi there! It’s completely understandable to feel overwhelmed in a high-pressure environment like an agency, especially when your income relies heavily on commission. Here are a few suggestions for career paths that might be a better fit for you:
Marketing Coordinator/Manager: Many companies hire marketing professionals to oversee campaigns and manage strategies without a commission-based pay structure.
Project Management: If you enjoy organization and overseeing projects, consider transitioning into project management. This role often offers a stable salary and allows you to utilize your skills in a different context.
Sales Support or Customer Success: These roles focus more on supporting the sales team and ensuring clients are satisfied, rather than directly pushing for sales, which can alleviate a lot of stress.
Content Creation/Marketing: If you have a knack for writing or creating content, there are opportunities in content marketing that typically offer a set salary and creative outlets.
Human Resources: If you enjoy working with people, HR roles can be very rewarding and usually come with a stable salary.
Administrative Roles: Consider administrative positions that allow you to use your existing skills, but in a less stressful environment.
Take your time to explore these options and consider what you’re passionate about. Networking with professionals in these fields may also provide valuable insights. Good luck!
