Hello fellow fish I need some advice.
I’m currently making 50K at associate level with a 25% commission cap (with no chance to hit cap based on job limitation) in a Business Development role. I have 3 years of experience and with my skill set I could move to other companies for much more money. My concern is the ability to go back into a more complex selling role if I went based to a product based company. I know money isn’t everything, but the career path I’m in is very ambiguous. Any thoughts?

You’re selling work as an associate? I thought only partners did that. How does commission work?

It’s a program within the firm. We’re trying to develop Business development people with my level of experience to set us up for more lucrative roles within the firm. There’s just no timetable on when those roles might materialize. I would tell you how the commission works, but I don’t want someone figuring out which group I’m in.
