Yeah, you can make a fuck ton of money in software sales if you're good. If you're good, then do it.

My friend told me how 3k was stolen out of her account and she didn't notice until her bank notified her. Smh. She literally works like 50 hours a week max in sales.

Sales doesn't necessarily give you ground-level exposure to other parts of a business. We can get that. You can always jump into sales later and leverage your background to differentiate yourself.

You would have to be getting $10M base at Accenture to get that kind of bonus.

Because I hate sales

If u love sales, it's great...I can't stand it. I know ppl who are in their late 20s who'll prob make 200k in sales, but then ur resume and the rest of ur life is sales...shit is weak. We'll get to that number eventually.

Hahaha true. But MDs get sale bonuses which I doubt are correlated with their base salaries

Hahaha yeah, don't work for Accenture if u want a nice end of year bonus. At least raises were decent this year

Idk Last year I asked when bonuses were coming out because ours were so low I didn't even realize it had been deposited.

Prob $35k base salary. Not as awesome as it sounds

What company op?

ACN1.... But will we ever catch up to them? I'm saying his BONUS was 100K... It was actually much higher... But I'm avoiding specifics. With that type of pay.. Wtf is he gonna make in 5 years?

Yeah I feel ya, can't hate on sales when ur making that kinda dough...not sure why, but I'm still not interested

Base is low in sales. Bonuses are taxed heavily. I'll stick with consulting.

Not at a big tech company, Oracle base in 90

@A1 that's low

I joined a new consulting firm and have been here for 6 months. Recently, a SaaS client (1k employees) that hired my old consulting firm reached out to me about a job opening - Lead BA working primarily to implement their benefit admin system for insurance companies. My current TC is 95k. Is it worth making the jump if the offer is north of 110k? Anything I should look out for? The client and coworkers were all nice, but I remember being stressed on the project due to limited resources.

Leaving soon for brand management role in CPG which I’m really excited about but curious if this will close the door to opportunities (product marketing, non technical product manager) in tech in the future. Really interested in the brand management role but if I end up not liking it the comp trajectory is not nearly as good as tech and wanted to know if that door will still be open. 2YOE, if I make a switch would likely be at 4-5YOE assuming I don’t go MBA route
