I have 2.5 yrs of experience as an account manager in a top IT staffing firm and am curious about what the avg total comp is for my level. I am at a base of $65k and made approx 8k in commission last year . Seems low compared to what management says can be made at staffing firms.. Thoughts?

Your base sounds competitive for 2.5 years of experience but commission seems low. How much did you bill? As a full cycle recruiter I would expect 10% at a minimum.
