Hey everyone, my fiance recently graduated university and is working as a credit risk analyst but she wants to break into sales (preferably tech sales). Every sales or account executive position we look at LinkedIn seems to want at least 5+ years of experience in sales so I'm wondering what exactly is an entry level position for sales? She's worked two years in best buy as a sales associate but can she really leverage that? Looking for advice

I am a sales rep and have worked extremely hard to build a large book of business. Every year upper management seems to find a way to cut commissions and make my hard work, worth less. Is this common? It’s pretty draining to work harder and get paid less year over year even though you’re typically getting more business. I don’t feel valued. Do more for less? Any other great sales companies/ industries that people are happy with and compensated accordingly? Preferably uncapped commissions

I was very successful as an internaional sales exec at a startup for 15 years before we were bought by a large publicly traded company. The culture shift was dramatic, as was the way that I was expected to work. I was laid off a tortuous 3 years after the buyout.

While I was in some ways relieved (put me out of my misery!) I spiralled pretty hard and after a while started working PT jobs, gig type stuff, etc. while I figured things out, and healed from burnout.

Do most tech/SaaS companies make prospective employees sign NDAs?

Boston SFA 5 years exp (Corporate finance). My research shows 110-120k for comp range. Does that sound right to others here?

I negotiated a salary for the first time ever and got what I asked for! I was terrified since I’ve never countered an offer before. When they accepted I was shocked and proud of myself for asking. DO NOT accept less than you feel you are worth! A good employer will rise up to meet your expectations.
