A recruiter messaged me saying I would be "perfect" for a role. Then I looked at the salary and it was nowhere near what I am on now. Surely recruiters know that money matters in sales. What is the first thing you look for in a job advert?

Recruiter's don't know what you make or what your salary expectations are unless you tell them.

That is fair. It is a two-way conversation. I do think being upfront about the salary range early saves everyone a lot of time.

The money and benefits.

Same here. If the salary, commission structure, or benefits do not stack up, it is difficult to look past that, no matter how interesting the role sounds.

My company covers in depth results each week, including meetings set/attended, wins, revenue, retention etc. I feel as if evaluating in such depth is detrimental to the psyche, as you never get to “ride the high.” In addition, some weeks are simply slower than others, and it’s not always representative of what the results at the end of the period or quarter will be. Is this not a big deal, and I’m I placing too much importance on it? Or is it beneficial to review results less frequently?

Lately, I've been hearing a lot from my peers about how sales isn't a real profession.
I work at a tech startup and it mostly comprises developers. They can't stop emphasizing their importance in the food chain and I can't figure if I'm too humble or they're too arrogant.
This yapping comes from people I've known since college. I have successfully blocked all such negativity but wanted to know if anyone here has faced such scenarios.
P.S: I've already accepted an offer above my expectations
