Hi I'm considering a sales role that switches to a draw + commission after the first year. For anyone who’s worked under this setup — was your draw recoverable, and how did it affect your pay when sales were slow vs. strong? Did you find this structure fair and achievable? Any tips for managing it?

Yes its recoverable, you just have to be good/lucky. Sales is nose to the grindstone job. You gotta keep hunting for that high value client. Get into the their sales system and then work to expand your margins
