First off, welcome! I love getting former auditors, they have great accounting foundations and work ethic. For tips, just be prepared not to rely on anything “prior year” or to have a set schedule as things change very quickly.

13 yr outside Sales Experience in the B2B space, multiple roles/companies. Current quota is $15MCAD, I usually do not bad in quota but lately has shifted to rewarding medicorciy and "pooling" some numbers countrywide which i really dont like.
Current comp is $85k Base and $115 OTE with a ceiling of $150k CAD/$120k US. Feel it's too little for my experience and they are taking perks away by the day.
Thinking of moving to I tech sales? Anyone else do it? What's comp look like?

PwC 🐠, I interviewed with the firm about 6 months ago for a Senior Associate position on the forensics team.
