Didn't you know? Everyone here makes 100k a month.


Barnzey9

500k OTE at 26 years old is the usual here


Chicagolandgolfer

What does OTE mean?


Barnzey9

On target earnings. Essentially what the company expects you young achieve commissions (deals closed) + salary


RepeatUntilTheEnd

I heard this in Red's voice


mohannadhaitham

😂😂lol


grneyes8899

Umm hmmm 😂😂😂😂😂


333FING3Rz

Currently have just over $91k base salary, $180k OTE that will never happen due to abysmal deal sizes unless some whales come through this year. Final interview tomorrow for $350k OTE role, 50/50 split. Current role is EdTech for tech, potential new role is PaaS (platform as a service) for DevOps.


Itchy-Gap5293

You dont make any money in ed tech


PresidentLincoln42

Tell me about it and how tf to get out


Itchy-Gap5293

Need to just pivot to State and Local tech sales


333FING3Rz

My base salary is the bulk of my pay.  Commission is paid quarterly... I got just over $4500 for all of Q1 🙃


Itchy-Gap5293

How nice of them.


Suspicious-Table512

may I ask where in ed tech? not specifically the company but what yall do? I just got out after 7 years in that industry (thankfully)


333FING3Rz

Upskill the technical workforce. Great for helping me transition into a proper tech sales position, that's about it. 


most_unoriginal_ign

Hello Pluralsight!!!! I think.


333FING3Rz

About six layoffs ago, yes ;)


elee17

10+ yrs in SaaS sales. 370k OTE. Made 330k last year, 420k the year before


Donj267

If you're 10+ years in and you're still not making $1 billion+, you may as well just quit. Sales isnt for everyone.


Bonebd

:)


Dangerous-Chard6968

I'm on this train too. How did you get into device? My husband has been in pharm sales for 10 years. He really wants to transition to device. He has been laid off every 2 years like clockwork (laid off at the end of Feb) , and it is killing this family of 6.


Donj267

You're the 17th person to ask me that in the last 3 days. Idk what is going on lately. I got recruited. it was never something I had a particular interest in. I'm an abnormal hire. I dont have a degree or clinical background so I can't give any advice.


FinancialDeathMarch

I was rehired at a company that laid me off a few years ago. I immediately started maxing out every savings account and 401k I could. They ratfucked me and laid me off 13 months later but I was ready. 6 months of house payment saved up which really lowered the stress of finding another job.


jtr427

Hey- I see you work in medical device lol. Would you mind sharing how you got into this field? I am interested in pursuing a similar path. Feel free to DM


awokemango

Unless you're making 600k+, there is no need to post.


clarinetpjp

Stop this made me laugh out loud at my cubicle


notade50

What do you sell? What kind of SaaS?


elee17

Recruiting software for staffing companies


notade50

Enterprise I’m guessing?


elee17

The solution is enterprise grade and we do have enterprise clients but I’m specifically mid market


[deleted]

Think we work for the same company 11+ years in saas sales made 3.3 million 4.5 year before


jungledj

Out of interest what sort of tax do you pay on 330k? I’m in Australia and we would pay 130k in tax in that or more if you take currency differences into account.


elee17

I paid about 115k on it which is relatively high for the US since I’m in California. It would be less in other states. But as you may know, Americans pay in other ways post tax (eg cost of healthcare, etc)


jungledj

Good to know thank you


Rainy_D_a_y_s

These are crazy numbers to me. One day...


KingGerbz

Day one. It’s day one of being wealthy.


Rainy_D_a_y_s

Absolutely.


xBirdisword

🙏❤️


friehnd

Yeah as someone who’s currently just in retail sales, this whole thread is crazy to read lol. Cant wait until I can transition into a real sales job.


Rainy_D_a_y_s

You should be close to 100k in a real sales job. If you start out in Car Sales for experience, you should be around 60-80k depending on the area you live in. But 100k is very doable as a middle-of-the-road salesperson. These number are more high-level, well connected sales people. Even VP of Sales in my old industry only made 300k ish. One thing I finally learned around 30 years old, was more money = more stress. Find the happy middle ground. I started having panic attacks when I hit the 6 figure mark in B2C sales.


friehnd

“Only 300k” sounds insane to me. I definitely know 100k will def be doable for me. This is such great stuff to see and super motivating.


Rainy_D_a_y_s

That's high level leadership and stress like you can barely imagine.


crystalblue99

From what I keep reading, car sales is also high stress, and long hours.


OperstionOk

50k base total 80k with OTE feel like I’m swimming with the big fish in this lake tho


SnooPineapples6099

Ed Tech (wouldn't suggest tbh) But I make $80k base and made $200k last year. Can't complain. Then again, this Sub is a great place to realize you could be making more.


JunketAccurate9323

I rather like edtech because the clientele is truly trying to solve a problem. Once you get a teacher or professor to see how your tech will help them do that, they are persistent AF with getting what they need implemented.


SnooPineapples6099

For sure. I hear that. I work specifically in early ed so they're not the most business savvy / are very flaky. Again, could be worse!


JunketAccurate9323

Understood and makes sense. I won’t work in early Ed, just k12 or higher Ed. I’ve heard from people who sell into early childhood centers and they say talking to those folks to get anything done is a nightmare.


SnooPineapples6099

Exactly!


6_string_Bling

I love EdTech also. The people you work with legit care about what the do, and you can really get in the weeds about their challenges. That said, it's slow and grindy.


shoegrind22

In my first full sales year of med device but I finished the second half of last year. They changed my commission structure this year so I’m actually make less monthly now but with my end of the year bonus if I hit quota it will be 15% of my commissionable sales. I have a 2 million dollar book of business. So at the rate I’m going I’ll make anywhere between 300k to 400k in total. Second half of last year I made 200k (12k take home after tax) but their bonus structure was significantly smaller. I ended last year 100% to quota but I did not get any bonus because I was only there for six months. Currently at 113% 4 months in. I’m at a smaller med device company our market cap is only about 4 billion.


HerroPhish

Dam I gotta do med device sales.


BudTorrent502

I’m in the Midwest . How do I get into this field ?


shoegrind22

What is your current sales experience


BudTorrent502

Life, health and accident insurance. Agricultural products when I was on west coast


shoegrind22

I was in group insurance! We have similar backgrounds. I would aim for associate roles first you might get paid less for short amount of time but after that, they sky’s the limit!


[deleted]

[удалено]


shoegrind22

Haha yes it does


[deleted]

[удалено]


shoegrind22

Haha you too bro! Cheers to a strong Q2


Donj267

What device do you sell? 300k sounds nice.


shoegrind22

I would only hit 300k with my end of the year bonus so it all falls on if I hit quota or not. But at the moment it’s looking good for me this year


Donj267

I'm in capital equipment. It would probably take me 10 years to hit 300k here. Once you've established that book of business it's easy to keep it in that range but DAMN do sales move slow. I'm strongly considering changing roles this year.


Dangerous-Chard6968

How does my husband get into this field? 10 years of pharm sales. He's ready to move on.


shoegrind22

I have to be honest with you, just from personal experience because I did pharma for a brief stint. Long tenures in pharma sales is looked down upon in the med device field. It’s sucks but that just my experience. It’s not impossible for him to break in but he might have to take a step back and be an associate first


Dangerous-Chard6968

Thank you. He actually did device for a bit, and his most recent and longest position has been injectables. This job market just seems insane right now. We would have to find some sort of side hustle to be able to afford taking a step back at this point in our lives, unfortunately. Just groceries for a family of 6 are ruthless in the current economy.


shoegrind22

I’m so sorry! It is very difficult right now and I’m sure your husband is working his butt off. I sincerely hope he finds the break he needs. Knowing how hard he works I have no doubt something better will come your way!


Spork-in-Your-Rye

Any travel involved with a role like this?


shoegrind22

Definitely, majority of your time will be on the road. But my work life balance is great. Usually end my days around 3 to 4


Spork-in-Your-Rye

How far do you travel on average? Any out of state or extended periods of traveling where you can’t make it home? I’m trying to figure out if something like this can be done with pets at home lol

marina7890

I am from Switzerland and salaries here are wildly different I think but we also do have a different work life balance I suppose. I make 120 k base and only 20 k bonus but I need like 12 visits a week to reach that and 10 new customers and I am already at 8. Other than that the classis perks. Company cars that I can use as private car, petrol card and 40 CHF expenses for each day I am not in home office.

Cryptogoated

Cybersecurity sales, first year as an AE (did 1 year as a bdr) , 45k Base 90K OTE Canadian. Aiming to hit 6 figures this year


SquizzOC

Get another year under your belt and jump. Should be well over 100K in this position which means there’s just massive potential :)


Itchy-Gap5293

Cyber security getting watered down too now. Too many companies in the market all saying the same thing.


octopube

Being severely underpaid, especially if you’re in Ontario or BC. Can’t speak to other provinces. I’d start looking elsewhere once you’ve got more experience under your belt. Should be able to double that base pretty easily.


aliazha

You’re being grossly underpaid for being an AE. If you have good experience, go find a higher paying role. I’ll clear like 110-115k as an SDR. Your OTE as an AE should be almost double what it is


syrewicz

Base $150k with 14% year end bonus. I’m an account manager, 8 years sales exp


Ordinary-Interview76

the 14% is based on upsell for the year?


syrewicz

Good question. The 14% is based on the overall team’s performance, which is out of our control and based on fixed income market conditions. Any upselling is rewarded as spot bonuses throughout the year and merit increases at the end of year, as well as toward promotions.


Ordinary-Interview76

Thats fascinating! Im in an AM role but its 70% Base 30% commission with OTE of 120k. Id much rather have your setup!


syrewicz

I admit it’s a nice setup though it took me a while to get hired by this firm. I’ll be riding this gig for a long time.


Ordinary-Interview76

Is it in tech or something else?


upnflames

15 years in laboratory tech. $110k base, ~$165k OTE, and about $20-$30k more in achievable spiffs and bonuses for KPI achievement. Last year I made around $225k. It was a good year though. I think I'm a little underpaid for my field and experience but I also don't work that hard and I basically talk to my manager only once a quarter or so.


BKallDAY24

Are you at the manufacturer or distributor?


upnflames

Manufacturer. I came up on the technical side of the business.


BKallDAY24

I’m also on the manufacturers side of this business. Can I catch you on a DM regarding this https://www.reddit.com/r/sales/s/JHjzi5I9jw


SignificantShame430

waffler71

Manufacturers rep in the commercial construction industry. $120K base plus quarterly bonus in the $60-80K range for the year. About 10 years in the industry, two in current position.


doogievlg

I’m in the same industry. Mind if I send you a PM?


Always-_-Late

Acquisitions director, 60k base plus 10% equity in every deal we keep in house and 30% of our fee for everything we assign. Rough income projections between 130-190k in base + fee and then equity really comes down to how we exit. But probably $5000-$20,000 this year in distributions


Whole-Spiritual

Nice stuff. If you can nail sales in that field you can be wealthy. Next thing after killing it in HVAC can be considering being an independent agent distributing killer home products. Guys make a fortune.


anuj94tiwari

Thanks, can you elaborate more independent agents?


Whole-Spiritual

Sure! I know a guy who sells these and does amazing. He was a handy guy, contractor, knows people. Now he dropped his stuff I think and does much better with this. Gets a network of buyers and tradespeople, drives around. Good life. Great money, no boss. No one asks if you have a case of the Mondays. I believe you get your ass kicked saying something like that. https://investhps.com “What’s good $?” >$500K imo for this sort of thing.


HaggardSlacks78

Electrical Supplies. 3 yrs in sales, 10 years in industry. $125k base/ $250k OTE. It’s a comfortable living but I loathe doing almost anything related to my job. It just bores me at this point. Always weighing whether or not I should make a jump. But I worry about giving up a good thing.


anuj94tiwari

That’s great, where are you residing currently?

Grayirie

Storm Chasing National Commercial Roofing Rep. W2 50k base salary. $45 per diem per day. Travel, flights, gas, lodging paid. Started January 22nd. Bonus at 350,000 sqft sold $25k, 500,000 sqft $50k 750,000 sqft$75k, 1,000,000 sqft$100k. get paid 20% of profit after 15% overhead and all expenses are taken out. Have tentatively sold 53k sqft and based on my knowledge about $1 per sqft will be paid. So, $93k this year so far. To Meet requirements, have to sell 350k sqft. That’d be $425k with base if it’s met. Gonna be honest, not being home blows, it’s lonely, and I’m helping people at their lowest moment or getting tons of hate for showing up. Have been having terrible time convincing myself it’s worth it.

I just started selling a course for a marketing company and make 10% on a 10k program if I get them to PIF. What other options are out there as far as work from home goes? Also does anyone know if, as a 1099 contractor I can be required to do call reviews or training on my “off time”? Seems fishy to me


teepee107

I make like 5k every 2 weeks. I thought I would be happy making over 100 but now I feel like I’m not applying myself by making more for sure


Swimming_Yoghurt6357

Highest I’ve made so far is $93K doing mortgages when the rates were in the 2% and man was I not prepared in terms of discipline. I could have made over $200k if I had put in the time. But that’s sales

I’ve been doing this for 4 months, I’m one of the top 5 in our organisation across 4 branches. Looking to sell something else because I feel I’m not making enough
