I want to be a GM or really any title, i dont care about becoming WC, would i still face pressure then? You are a GM, what is your experience? I am not FIDE rated (yet, hope to be soon though) so i havent been to any MAJOR tournaments whats the experience like though?

Another disadvantage of being a GM - you have to write stupid clickbait "content" in order to attract students to your courses. As an amateur, you can just play and enjoy the game! Awesome!
