Do you have a commission based job in STEM? I don’t know many opportunities out there nor how much they can make. I guess sales and BD could be commission but I haven’t seen it in the defense industry.

There are actually a lot of sales roles available in STEM fields. I'm in an engineering firm which is sort of adjacent to defense but not exactly. I think pure commission is rare in defense, but you can definitely find sales roles throughout the STEM world.

Interesting, what does your firm do?

Yep, STEM commission based roles exist but they’re rare and usually on the sales/BD side in tech, biotech, med devices, not so much defense. In those fields, high performers can pull six figures just in commission, but it's very target driven and relationship heavy.

I’ve heard biomed is the sweet spot for commissions.

Most commission based jobs are going to be technical sales.

Right, but are there any actually doing STEM specific work?

In my agency, we do make commissions based on the role you are placing.

Recruiting is a good example. Is it based on the salaries you recruit?

1st Job - 90k…. Is this a good salary? Late to the game at 34. Don’t even know anything about personal finance. Basically feeling like an 18 year old over here with no knowledge of how to run my own life. Having to start over after long term controlling relationship where I was left out of all the finance stuff. So I’m lost TBH. Engineering makes sense, managing my money not so much.

Hello!

I finished my final round(s) for a TAM position at 
Google (GCP) last week and was told by my recruiter that my feedback was great and that I made a solid impression on the team and am "firmly in the running". I was supposed to hear back this week (according to the recruiter) but he just told me that it's still in the process and that I'll have to wait for another week or so.

Is this common at Google ? I have heard they are notorious for being really slow with their hiring process.
