And demonstrating your strategic capability / orientation / potential. People just LOVE the "strategist" title, but I see few folks willing or qualified to actually do the work. My advice: express a desire to learn the practice of strategy, then actually take action to do so, then demonstrate that you have the potential to do the work. If you do those things you'll stand out.

It happens. See if there's a need and a spot and throw your hat in gently with the right people in need. At entry level it's more hands and legs, supporting upwards, so go in and prove your value.

Possible... but a lot of competition... most open roles will be gone before they get posted.

Switching from commission to salary!

I’m considering a less sales-oriented role that doesn’t pay commission. The new role will have a higher base but lower overall earning potential.

What % haircut should be expected? As an example, if I make 100k (base + commission) today, would it be realistic to ask for 90k (10% cut) + equity to make up the difference?
