For sure #1. This gives you time to build up your pipeline and still get paid. Merchant sales is difficult due to a lot of competition in the market. Honestly, I have never seen one offer that high of a base, so I would run with it if it is the industry you want to get into.

#1

I'd take #1 before they change their mind.

I recently had an initial interview for a technical recruiter position. The guy on the phone stated that this is not a 9-5 job and long hours are expected. I proceed to ask how much PTO is offered and he said that is not recommend within the first 6 months of working and the harder you work the more PTO you receive. From that conversation, I saw instant red flags. Any thoughts?
