Been looking for a job for 3 months since I got laid off from my tech company. I'm getting interviews, but it seems no one pays a base salary anymore. 5 years ago when I was job hunting, these jobs would pay you $45-60K plus commission. Now it's all commission only from the start, and maybe a small advance if you're lucky. How do they think people can pay their bills without a base?

Really? I haven't seen this. I feel like most of the roles I've been applying to are still offering a base salary in that range you mention. What industry are you applying in that you aren't getting any base pay?

A lot of the companies running on 100% commission remind me of MLMs. Sometimes you have to take what you can take, but be wary of what you’re getting into.

Hi all!

For diet reasons, I don't drink alcohol. But I drink sodas occasionally. Like at company happy hours, etc. From a health perspective, is this kind of hypocritical? I think they are both nutritionally near 0 value. I do enjoy the taste of soda more than alcohol. But I can't help but feel like if I'm willing to drink sodas, a beer or two a week shouldn't be much different. If anything, it's lower calorie per can lol.
