Because of previous role, I get LinkedIn job recruiting efforts in education. Today it’s one that requires 5 YOE and a masters. It’s a regional sales job for a BIG publishing company, no incentive program, salary listed at 55k. There are 167 applicants and 67% have a masters, 12% doctoral.

Meanwhile I was eyeing a sales position in mgmt consulting, started at 155k with TC up to 300, had only 20-something applicants.

I am not saying these are comparable but… still. 55k?!

Education doesn’t pay well unfortunately. I know a bunch of classmates from high school who got a Masters to go into teaching out of passion - only to realize their passion for teaching was outweighed by their compensation goals - half of them are out within 3 years and are tech SDRs

Indeed. I mean, I got out too. I’m surprised a big publisher isn’t paying more though and that people are not demanding more. 55k, that’s really not going to get you far these days! Like, 167 applicants and meanwhile there are jobs paying 3x…

Because, for quite a large portion of people, anything sales-related is much less fulfilling than teaching

The $55k job is a sales job - for a publisher.

It’s adjacent to fields that generally don’t pay much for a variety of reasons though. Attracts more desperate (cheaper) talent and less money sloshing around to pay.
