I’m a young professional with a business degree and about 2.5 years of full sales experience. I enjoy sales and want to stick with it, but my current job’s growth feels too slow to realistically hit $100k+ anytime soon. I’m looking for a new role that has a much higher earning potential. Between SaaS, manufacturing rep, medical sales, and fintech, which industry do you think offers the best upside for someone like me?

If you’re looking for serious earning potential and you like sales, SaaS and medical sales usually have the biggest upside. SaaS is booming, and commissions can get pretty high once you hit your stride. Medical sales also pays well and has good growth if you’re into more consultative sales. Manufacturing reps and fintech can be good too but can vary a lot depending on the company and product. Definitely do some research and try to connect with people in each to see what fits your style.

Need advice: do you tell your manager that you’re unhappy or do you just leave?

I’m being taken advantage of with being thrown so much work and really don’t see my salary increasing to be in line with my coworkers doing similar work. I’m a consistent high performer - management reviews tell me that much.

My coworker did mention to the manager that they’re not being paid well for the work they do, and our manager took it personally and told them they’re ungrateful 🥲

I left my job about a year ago to relocate, make sure it was the right decision and start a side business in the mean time.

I don’t have my side business listed on my resume because I don’t feel like I have enough positive “stats” to report yet given it’s new. Any advice or recommendations?

I had a job interview for a role that I really want. The hiring manager scheduled me for an interview and did not show up. Emailed me an hour later stating that he got super busy and couldn’t attend, and would like to reschedule. This is a major red flag, but I can’t help but feel that I am missing out since this role pays 50% over what I currently make. Should I let the recruiter know? What’s your take on this?

“Job hopper” and “quiet quitting” are all schemes made up by boomers to make you think everything is the employees fault. When in reality people are just getting out of bad situations. Older companies do whatever they can to pay you the least amount and get the max work out of you. Except our generation will just leave amid we’re being mistreated, not complain for 35 years making 50k and 0 advancement.
