Senior Business Development Role at 360Learning:
Anyone have tips for cover letter/resume to stand out?
They are huge on not negotiating salary there based on their blog.
Anyone know the base salary/expected commission? - It requires you to answer on the application. I would be so thrilled to work at the company I just want to put what they start out at.

I would need more money than that to commute for an hour every single day. Working from home for me is like gold and I save so much time, energy, and money with my lack of commute.
It’s time to do a little math. Calculate how much the benefits you’ll be losing are worth. Then calculate how much it’ll cost you for that extra 30 minute commute. Add it up and see if you’re pay increase outweighs what you’re losing.
Not all money is good money! You need to weigh the pros and cons of working remote vs the office. You’ll have to pay for transportation/parking. Additionally you will pay for lunch or spend time preparing lunch in advance for the next day. Your time commuting. Etc. Good luck!
A lot of jobs are limiting opportunities for people that want to stay WFH. Like they aren’t eliminating those of us that work remote but they are basically telling us that any position change would require a return to the office. You have to decide based on where you are in your career if you’re comfortable and able to just ride it out in your current role because you only have a few years left to worry about it, or if you need longer term opportunity for promotions. If your comfortable with your salary and WFH is more important to you than don’t take the job, but keep in the back of your mind that the offer from your company might be your company’s way of seeing if you are a long term player for them or someone they are going to ultimately put on the RIF list.
Following. In similar situation… smallish immediate comp increase with much higher ceiling long term but with less benefits and more hours.
Rising Star
It’s such a tricky spot to be in. Both options are good in their own ways, and I’m still not sure what is better
Think longer term about the future trajectory and see if thats helps you decide between the two
When you factor in the additional 5 hours minimum commuting, it’s not that big of a raise. I would not take that new job personally
Pro
You should be able to quantify the benefits. Try your best to quantify wfh and flexibility too.
