Moved OUT of a sales role recently (spent two years) for those same reasons. The potential payout wasn't enough for the sacrifices to my quality of life and mental health. The thing about sales is, either you're schmoozy and do this naturally or you struggle to keep up and it takes a lot out of you. I learned how to be good at it and learned some great skills that my current colleagues don't have, but I'm not gonna lie and say it was easy

Takes some time to get used to any new role. Eat well, sleep well, and understand you’ll need some time to find your footing

Just curious - @OP and @JPMC1, what were your responsibilities / Day to Day?

Interesting. How did you transition out of that? I'm asking because my buddy is 1 year into a really similar position and wants to move out but isn't sure what he can do after.

I transitioned? Applied a bunch of places? Finagled my skills and experience into a role (incidentally one I'm extremely good at, so not really a finagle).

Hi folks, I recently applied for a new role in EMEA for a Specialist Solutions Architect. Got through n received an offer letter. But seems like the base is a bit lower than what i saw online in a couple of places (not sure of years of experience there though). Is it worth it to bring it up and ask the HM to raise an exception? How much time will this take? Is it a risk? Already the entire process has dragged on cause of delays on recruitment's part etc. Any advice or insight would be helpful!

I need some advice! Currently in the process of getting a new job but have no idea what to ask for or what I should be making. My new potential role is Account Supervisor at a pharma agency, is asking for $95k reasonable? I’m currently a senior account manager with 6 years experience but worked abroad for my entire career so I have no idea what I should be making. I don’t have pharma experience but this agency is still interested in me so I’m wondering if what I’m asking for is too high?
