Seeking Support and Advice for a Stable Career in Commercial Real Estate

I'm feeling really lost in my career and could use some support from those who have been in similar situations. A few years back, I moved to a new state to pursue a career in sales, landing a job that I loved. I thrived on the competition and building relationships, but eventually lost that job due to my lack of understanding of workplace dynamics. Since then, my career has been a roller coaster. I've worked in various industries like media, technology, payments, and real estate, but many positions ended due to layoffs or management issues where I lacked the training and support I needed. I earned a graduate degree in real estate and aimed for a career in commercial real estate brokerage because I genuinely enjoy sales. However, the commission-based structure has made it tough, and I've faced discouraging feedback from managers who weren't willing to mentor me. After years of trying to establish myself, I'm now searching for a salaried position in commercial real estate where I can have a stable career and learn from experienced professionals. The uncertainty is affecting my personal life too. My spouse and I want to buy a home and start a family, but the financial instability is putting pressure on our relationship. I want to contribute consistently and feel secure in my career. I've begun to question my abilities after experiencing repeated setbacks. Despite having a graduate degree and diverse professional experience, I feel like I'm back at square one. I love working and want to succeed, but I struggle to find a workplace culture that offers mentorship and support. I'm reaching out to see if anyone has experienced similar challenges. Have you found a supportive team in commercial real estate? Have you successfully transitioned from commission-based sales to a stable salaried position? Any advice, resources, or experiences shared would be greatly appreciated. I'm feeling pretty overwhelmed right now and would love to hear from anyone who can relate.
