[quote=Anonymous][img][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Long term, sales - preferably in a niche that creates a book of business. Starting off, recruiting at an agency is a fantastic way to learn business acumen and how the world works. More tolerable when expenses are low and you are commission only. Ceiling on recruiting is probably $200K for an individual contributor non-partner. Sales the sky is the limit. Recruited 2008-2016, selling tech since 2016. [/quote]

The sky is the limit in recruiting, and recruiters can work for themselves pretty easily as there are really no overhead costs. That means you take the whole fee for yourself.[/quote]

Recruiting doesn't scale beyond a certain point, especially if you are on your own. One can only handle so many reqs at a time. Even at the upper end, pulling 25% of $400K base salaries, you are only doing 1, maybe 2 placements a month - you are making $500K to $1M. Top enterprise sales reps can 2 or 3X that in a good year.

Today’s enterprise sales reps are not making that unless they got very lucky with equity at the right company when it was a startup.
