I’m like entry mid level. Last summer and even the fall every job I applied to I was getting interviews and offers. I decided to stay at my current job but regret it now as it’s definitely time to leave. I have been applying for months now and don’t even get interviews just automatic rejections. I definitely feel the market is more competitive and not that good right now.

I work as a Business Development Manager at a sports club.. I’ve been given a couple of months “trial” in the 6 figure and above sales in which I don’t see going back to my other role on lower sales. This was a somewhat good move for me until I consider missing out on commission each month that was more than my salary. (£25k salary, over £2k per month commission)
How do I go about raising this concern? I believe I should be paid more now and at least change my job title?
