As a student in the final year with professional experience in accounting, i think about dropping into software sales. I got an offer for 68k€ annually (Big4 ususally 55k€ offers). Especially as a young person, i wonder if learning opportunities are good in software sales. What do you think?

Offer depends mostly on location. But for someone so young, 68k is a great deal if you ask me.

I also think that it is above the minimum. Your experience in accounting will be useful if you want to pursue a career in software sales. I think becoming an expert in a specific field takes some time but it's definitely doable especially in your case.

That is not a bad start off salary at all.. is that base and OTE i suppose?

I think that is a fair offer for that role. Depending on your YOE you may be able to negotiate a llittle higher.

Not a good salary especially for sales. You should be in the 100K range. 60k is more aligned with retail sales

I think this is a great opportunity considering it a entry level role and Europe

Where are you located? It depends on what you see your career path being like.. and if that is a good salary for where you are from

It‘s in germany. 68k is definitely top tier entry level salary. I just fear that i will not become an „expert“ compared to if i would drop into some Finance/accounting area

Thanks a lot for your answears! Base salary is around 65k and 3k is bonus when reaching targets (high probability).

Based on this it is a very good offer in my eyes..

Anyone else required to put together completely unrealistic timelines?

Upper management's direction is to put together the most aggressive deadlines we can. If we think a project will take 16 months, make the plan for 10 months then there's a chance we may launch in 13 months.

I understand that time to market is important in consumer product goods, but being constantly behind schedule and rushing everything is terrible for the team's morale.
