just found out some fast food chains are paying their managers like six figures? thought this was wild so had to share. apparently places like taco bell, raising cane's, in-n-out, and chipotle have these general manager roles where you can actually make over 100k a year. raising cane's in california was paying someone 174k with bonuses which honestly shocked me.

so the thing is these aren't just random entry level gigs - you need solid management experience and real leadership skills. but the article says if you can handle operations, drive sales, and keep things running smoothly, the high paying fast food jobs are legit out there. in-n-out doesn't even require a college degree which is interesting. chipotle wants at least 3 years in before you hit that 100k mark though.

the vibe i got is that these companies actually promote from within and reward people who stick around and perform well. so it's not impossible if you're willing to climb the ladder. never really thought of fast food management as a serious career path until i read this. makes you wonder how many people don't realize these opportunities exist.
