Which company would you join?
I currently work in Sales with the intention of moving over to marketing in the near future. I received two offers for BDR/SDR roles from Sprout Social and Gong. Both salaries are around the same (Gong - base 63k + anticipated $25k in commission, Sprout - 55k base + anticipated $25k in commission).
I like both companies’ software and it extremely hard to decide which position will get me into marketing faster as it is not a traditional BDR path to take.
Help!
Just put my 2 weeks in 😃

Obama are subsidizes healthcare so if you do not have any income about 80% gets covered. Did this when my mom moved to the states and did not qualify for medicare and medicaid. Pretty good plans and the broker was helpful on making sure a plan that costs 3k, i only get to pay 300 per month covering dental and medical, no vision though 😔
Retire and get a part time job at Starbucks just for the healthcare.
Truthfully, I'd move somewhere foreign that doesn't rape you (sorry but this is how I feel about some healthcare expenses) on that medication coverage unless you have family anchoring you to the States. I hope you can retire and enjoy your life.

D4 - where have you lived and what medical care needs to be that expensive? I guess you haven’t heard of the big difference in affordability between US and Europe? Medicine in the US is crazy commercialized, you dont need a full team of staff for a simple check up. I understand having to pay extra for complex treatment, a brain surgery or organs transplant, but not for all healthcare.
30 years of industry knowledge - recruiter called and tossed out what I thought would be an outrageous salary request. Started 2 weeks later. Followed boss from job to job for several years and have been at current employer 15+ years.

Can’t generate a usurious rate of return meaning it won’t pay for any more beach, ski, mountain houses, thus it’s not feasible.
Following for curiosity. Sorry can't help but Im sure someone can chime in here

Maybe try forum like Reddit to see if there are any suggestions.

Close behind you. I’m interested in the answers.
Goodrx is pretty good maybe take a look at how much that can help
I would try to get the companies that make the medication to give you either a discount card for their meds or the discounted program they offer for it. My sons 1 medication is $6700 a month, with the program from the company it is $75 a month for me. Good luck.
@OP - Can you give more detail or backstory as to how you were able to break into consulting without a university degree? That’s a next level professional flex.
YUMMY.

What if you found a role that just paid $5k more?

5K more a month? So 60K more a year? And that’s 60K before taxes so it would likely need to be more than 60K a year to cover the 5K/month medical bills.
Easier said than done.
Op I hope u find a good solution. More power to u. Did u try part time consulting gigs?

I truly hate that we rely on employers to help subsidize health insurance costs in America. That’s why, I’m planning to retire somewhere in Europe

I mean without employer sponsored plans. Health care costs via Cobra or ACA are exponentially more expensive
Any chance you served and are eligible for VA healthcare? Otherwise agree - get outta dodge in another country for a bit. Come back if you feel like it after Medicare eligibility. Otherwise part time gig that offers coverage. What a stain on this country that this is even a question.
