I did, and it got me my job at Deloitte. Went from business/supply chain to data science. Opened up doors I could’ve never imagined.

Yep. Undergrad bio. Grad information systems

MBA after a poli sci/criminal justice/history undergrad, though that's probably more typical than a non-MBA masters.

Undergrad pre-med. Grad school public policy and data science, though I was doing policy related extracurriculars in undergrad.
I love it.

I did an undergrad in business, but don’t really think it’s for me. Looking to explore other paths

Undergrad in Health Admin and Public Policy. Grad in Information Systems.

Been with an Asphalt and Concrete contractor in suburban Chicagoland for a little over 2 years now, and am going into a compensation discussion tomorrow after informing my boss I no longer wish to be on a draw.

Current comp plan is as follows:
Salary- ~48k w/ draw up to about 80k, full OTE with commissions should be ~170000, this is all increased by kickers every 250k in sales that increase commission/draw

My questions is if the draw is removed, how much salary should I be asking for?

Hey there,

I am in TAC for a fairly large networking company. I am making 48k a year with decent benefits and unlimited PTO. I love working at this company and my boss is fantastic. However, I feel as though I am being underpaid given my credentials. I have my CCNA and almost have my CWNA. I am coming up on a year at the company and want to start either negotiating higher pay or looking elsewhere. What should I do and how should I go about it?
