Try your hand at door to door solar sales. They will take almost anyone, and door to door sales on the resume will kick down the doors to alot of other opportunities later. ( also, you can make real $ in solar )

Are you attractive?
Do you have a degree?
Are you intelligent?
Well spoken?
Can you handle rejection?

You need at least 3 of these to make it in sales.

If you're over 30? Forget it. Too late to start.

Question about remote job negotiations

I'm currently interviewing for a remote role for a company based in NY.

The thing is I'm based in a different city (southern U.S.)

My question is:

When it comes time to talk compensation, should I base the market rate for the role on my city of residence or NY?

Would it make sense to ask them directly how they determine comp for NY-bases vs. other city-based employees?

Anyone have experience with this?

I don't want her to think I won't be able to keep clients straight when I start doing supervised sessions.

My company blames my generation for not being able to hire everyday. “You guys don’t want to work” coming from some overweight, racist, old coaster. I’ve barely taken any days off this year and pick up “skeleton crew” days any chance I get. I was able to work out a deal with my company before I came because of prior experience luckily, but they offer a terrible base salary and sham of a commission structure to new hires + no remote. Then sit here and can’t figure out why…
