/biz/ - Business & Finance

Thinking of getting into sales myself, and it seems as though there are enough openings in my area for me to be at least a little picky about which ones I apply for.

So which sort of job benefits/salary/conditions should I look for? Considering its my first job would I be better off getting something that pays a base salary and a smaller commission, even though there are opportunities that are entirely commission but have a higher OTE? And are the OTEs that are presented in job descriptions likely to be anywhere near genuine?

I also recognize that every industry needs salespeople. So which industries have the better sales jobs?
