Some context. I have two job opportunities before me. One of them is an hourly job in a store/warehouse where I would be in charge of managing said warehouse. The pay is okay, it would definitely be enough to cover my cost of living but just so. However, there has been known to be copious amounts of overtime ( a little too much for my liking) and I would be 33% responsible for meeting the $200k monthly sales mark (without seeing much in the way of commission).
The second job, would be an outside sales representative for selling/installing home security systems. I would be able to work outside (something I would love to do rather than being cooped up in an office), and work on a less restricted schedule. The only thing I noticed was that it is commission only as far as pay goes. For what its worth, leads are pre generated through a separate department.
I understand that commission is really about reaping the seeds I sow, and its about my own personal effort, and I feel confident that I can sell the product this company is asking from me. Any input from anyone in similar positions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks a lot, Reddit!
