I recently was hired as an account manager. Although the position is mostly sales where I am reaching out to clients and generating business. Anyone else doing a sales job on account manager position? I would also like to know what positions can I grow into as a account manager?

I previously worked as an MSP account manager and realistically it leads no where.

The upside is the more customers you pick up, if you're getting residuals in one way or another, you're building up a fat paycheck/book of business.

My dilemma… I am an injury adjuster at a carrier experiencing high inventory that’s barely manageable. A competitor offered a higher salary and manageable workload. BUT, I would like to get into underwriting. I applied for UW position w/ a different carrier and they’ve made an offer. It’s lower than my current salary and significantly lower than what I’d make by taking the first offer. Do I take the high salary and stay in claims or go for UW in hopes it will be best in long run?

Just to note, this is about a 25% increase compared to what I am currently making.

Career question: Currently making under-market in a role I excel at (inside sales), but little to no insight into any potential promotions/raises anytime soon due to current freezes. I was just offered a substantial increase in pay to leave IT sales (double my current base, plus bonus.) It’s still selling tech, but not complex data center kind of IT sales. How hard would it be to get back into IT sales later on if I leave for a year or two? Specifically looking to get into a field sales role?

Since joining my company 3 years ago my target has increased 45% my basic has increased 3%.

I have always been informed my basic is based on target.

Last 3 years the entire sales team hasn't made target in my product.

Anyone else seen this trend?

I've swallowed it but seeing the pressure from the increased target and the stress causing I'm thinking that wasn't wise.
