Do you think T has played a role in increasing your income or helping you achieve your income?
Iām having a hard time with a short answer on that
I guess Iād say it didnāt get me to where Iām at now, because Iāve been making that for 5-6 years through some fortunate circumstances and a little luck while TRT has been for less than a year. Itās a long story basically of getting offered another job while the company was being sold and new owners didnāt want me to leave so they offered me more than the other company did to stay.
I do think itās helping with the job search though. I havenāt gotten as much of a confidence boost as a lot of people seem to but I have gotten some, which helps. Esp being in sales.

And I just got a call to setup a round 2 interview for next week so thatās good news. Woohoo, maybe I can cut down on this damn commute.

Letās gooooo! Thatās huge, brother. Would love for you to have a more efficient schedule while making even more dough. In-person interview? My places have all gone 1) phone, 2) Skype, 3) in person.
This one will be similar to your round #2, FaceTime or Skype. They said the final one would probably be in person. Weāll see, hopefully. Iād just love to be back to working for a company that actually wants to make deals again. The aversion to risk is so insanely high where Iām at now that itās tough to do anythingā¦ which ironically is a major risk in and of itself, in my opinion. Canāt have new sales if you donāt make deals.
Definitely true, gotta weigh the cost-benefit of aggressiveness and sometimes pull the trigger before youāre readyā¦the higher-ups could probably use some exogenous T 
I think this is why on the success ladder, you see men at both the top and bottom ends of the spectrum ā weāre inherently risk-takers. Sometimes that pays off tremendously, other times it results in calamity.

Sounds like High-T Rudd is in charge. Nice work! Good luck with the job, hope the one you choose is the most fulfilling!

I appreciate you, brother! As we both know, High-T Rudd would absolutely crush interviews ā felt exactly that way!
Iām gonna need to up my dose before the in person 
Hope the new job search works out for you as well!
I think the aura of confidence that comes with feeling good, feeling like you look good and the high energy definitely puts you in a better position. We all know that the more attractive you are the more you get in life. Not just physical attraction but the attraction to someone that is confident in themselves and their abilities.

Probably depends on the field that youāre in. For some $80k might be big bucks. For others it could be starting salary range. I work in IT where technical skills will take you into the low six figures in most places, more in big markets like Silicone Valley/San Fran/ New York, etc. But at some point you hit a ceiling where they are looking for leadership skills in managers. Thatās where the T might play a role. Iāve only been on TRT for a year so itās hard to say. If Iām a Director or VP five years from now Iāll let you know. LOL

Absolutely agree. When your T is dialed in, youāre magnetic.
Iāll have to increase my dosage then. LOL
Iām now almost 2 months into the Mike Israetel programming. I know the dude is a borderline genius when it comes to fitness, but Iām dubious about the lack of intensity.
You spend so much time in the 3-rep-from-failure, 2-rep-from-failure zones, and deloads, you never really feel like youāre going that hard. I guess the volume is meant to supercede that, but like I saidā¦not sure how well itās working. Iām committed to this for all of 2020, so weāll see.
Iām in a pickle and need advice. I have an offer for $110K and have to decide on it by tomorrow. Iām also in the running for a position that would pay about twice as much, but itās a long shot (maybe 25% odds).
If I decide to pursue this long shot, I forfeit what is an awesome opportunity that I wouldāve killed for not too long agoā¦because Iām on the academic calendar, it would be at least a year before another position like that could come along ā and thereās no guarantee one will. Itās a really good job. Just not the best one.
The financial discrepancy with the higher-paying position is massive.
What do I do, fellas?

How big of a jump is the $110K one vs where you are now?
I made 85K last year, but had to work numerous jobs to get there. This would be one job, and itād be a tenure-track role (both of them would be).
I lean towards taking the $110K one if you really think your odds of the $200+ one are really less than 25%. Get a year or two at the new one then go for the big one
That is assuming that is an option. If itās like a once a decade or more chance to even get looked at for the $200K job again then I say go for that since you wonāt get another chance anytime soon and the upside is tremendous.
I have a feeling youāre going to get split answers on this one. Awesome position to be in though. I hope Iām picking between new jobs in the coming weeks too

Very much appreciate the advice, brother. Iām so conflicted. Iām really not sure when another position like the $200K job would come alongā¦maybe 5 years down the road. But you compound that compensatory discrepancy over time, you know the deal ā tons of money missed out on.
If I take the $110K job, we probably arenāt looking at buying a house for 5 years. If I get the higher-paying one, we can buy immediately. Huge difference.
Iād say the odds of the better job are 25-30%. However, I know someone on the inside there who is going to try to feel it out tomorrow to give me a more accurate picture of my odds. Really hoping I hear from him before I have to make a decision on the other one.
