Hey! Yes I did! I was a SAAS consultant and now in SAAS sales! The best decision ever

The sale cycle is very very long however sometimes upto two years and you won’t hit targets until the end of those two years but some companies have started to give bonuses every quarter based on performance and milestones client achieve

Either way, when you get into Software sales, make sure 100% that you understand the commission/bonus structure so you don’t wait until your hair turn white

But sales as a whole is amazing,, freedom of managing your own clients/ schedule …. More fun travels … more fun business event.

I’ dont seee my self changing I would love to remain in sales forever

Question: I am on an AE Hiring process. the HR said the salary range is 60k to 70k plus commissions and bonus. I told them, I am looking for 80k, considering my current salary and experience. So far I already had 3 interviews, things are doing well, only one more. Do you think usually companies can go high than the salary range, even though they told me the salary was less than I am expecting?
