Hilarious to me that there are still even entry-level sales jobs with starting bases at 35k/yr as if that’s enough to get by…

Is your company hiring?

And be able to save?!

Yup that was my job in 2021. They did a market adjustment though.

My base is 42k...

What’s the split? Base + commission? 50/50?

But if you’re doing your job well, your commission should well exceed your base.

AM1 That's awesome! Sucks you only got 18k. I guess the commission percentage isn't that bad here.

“Job hopper” and “quiet quitting” are all schemes made up by boomers to make you think everything is the employees fault. When in reality people are just getting out of bad situations. Older companies do whatever they can to pay you the least amount and get the max work out of you.
