28yo, only making $70-75k in the NYC area is not cutting it. my job is no longer challenging me and i have 0 passion for it.

i know exactly the path i want to take (retail real estate on the tenant side) but i am having such a hard time networking or even finding openings.

i know this isn't a job board but i know there are plenty of successful and intelligent members of this forum that might lend advice.

thank you!

That's a pretty decent salary for any age...let alone for a 28 year old. Remember....the more you make the more you spend....marginal propensity to consume they call it in economics. Live within your means.

I agree 100% but I do want a change just to challenge myself and take a different path, regardless of money.

Nope. Tenant side that assists in site selection, research, design, construction, analysis, etc.

Starbucks and Equinox have the roles I'm interested in. Trying to network as best I can utilizing LinkedIn for the moment.
