My manager casually threw out that she had an exec tell her it’s fine if she wants to close my division down next year. We are a niche team in a large company. I asked her to clarify as I am worried about my team (and me) she said we would be “well taken care of” as in receive severance…she was so casual about it and said she didn’t know what she would do - we’re performing well, but it’s a small market. What do I do? Warn my team? Look for jobs? I have been here for 20 years w/niche skills…

Has anyone left healthcare and is now really happy? I’m an MSN, RN with 12 years hospital experience. I’m burned out and tired of making crap pay. I have an opportunity outside of healthcare that would pay more and challenge me in new ways that I haven’t experienced before. It’s a total shift that would really heal my work-life balance, job satisfaction and budget. My only fear is that I would not be using the license and degree that I worked so hard for. I would appreciate any input!!!!

I graduated from law school with some of the worst men I've ever met. I wonder what they're up to now. Probably gathering "grassroots" (read, generational money, and wealthy donor money) support for their upcoming senatorial campaigns. White men really can get away with anything.

What sales jobs make 500K to +1 million a year?

Good morning! I work in Medicare sales and I’m just getting tired of sales because I have to change these elderly people on their insurance very frequently, and it’s frustrating most of the time. I eventually want to be a Christian counselor and I just stared school but that’ll take awhile to get where I want to be. I just want to be happy right now without taking a major pay cut leaving sales. I’m making 80k now, I don’t need to keep making that but a decent amount while still helping people. 🙏

What are some of the highest paying industries for sales in Canada? I know tech sales is very lucrative in the states. Does that hold true here? Thanks! 🇨🇦

I have been working as a PreSales SA for 4 years for a tech giant. It has been a while that I feel like I am not growing at my job which is impacting my productivity. How should I address this to reach a conclusion as to what I should do next? Maybe find motivation or look for an exit strategy?

It doesn’t take much effort to be nice to people!

What are peoples take on partner sales as a career path in sales? Is there growth or stick to traditional AE sales?

I feel like this happens a lot these days with all the job movement- but just found out a new hire is making more than me after I’ve been a top performer on my team at the company for a year+. How would you react?

Anybody else feel unworthy of this career? When it comes to stack rankings I’m generally in the top 50% of reps at companies I’ve worked for. On good years I’ll get into top 20%.

It seems every sales job posting is looking for people who have blown out their number every single year. I just don’t see how this is even possible, I’ve worked plenty of places where they gave us an unachievable target so nobody hit their number in a given year.

I’m an SDR who has been at my company for 6 months. In those 6 months I’ve been the leading guy for 3 months. My goal is to be AE. Should I move on?

I’m so done with sales. I’m burnt out and uninspired with my job. The pay is nice, but I need something more fulfilling and less stressful. I want to be able to keep working while I figure out my “why” but I don’t want to rip my hair out in the process. *7 YOE, 6 mid market, 1 enterprise* Any ideas for an easy transition job away from sales that isn’t a giant pay cut?

Hi! I'm looking at moving to a new role outside my organization. I'm seeing A LOT of interesting positions opening up with @Microsoft (Customer Success Manager, Account Executive, Sales Specialist etc). My experience and core strengths do align these roles but I don't have tech experience. If you’re a Microsoft recruiter or are currently in these roles I'd love to hear your feedback on transitioning to this space. I work for a large Fortune 500 company in the manufacturing space for reference

Everything used to pay $350k on target earnings. Tech is booming but I am noticing pay has dropped substantially despite inflation. I am seeing $300k ote and most roles are set up to not hit plan. Does anyone have insight here? It sends a clear message. Just thinking experienced sellers are going to leave or pivot because they follow the money and they are going to get less experienced sellers.

Trying to connect with companies that have remote jobs AND have software compatible with screen reading software (software that auditorily reads the written words on the computer screen to people with visual impairments)
