I feel unsatisfied in my current roll, because of this I have been looking at other opportunities. I just got offered another sales roll in a completely different field, but it's basically the same job. They are offering me 30k more than what I'm making currently but this salary is only for the first year. After my first year I will strictly be commission based only. The position is for iHeartMedia, so instead of selling paint I would be selling advertisement.

Is there anyone currently working in their sales department that you could talk to before you accept the job? The risk is obviously that maybe the commissions won't amount to a sufficient salary after the first year. So I think, if possible, talking to a current sales person on the team might help you make the best decision.
