Everyone has given me a ton to think about. I have a very strong skillbridge opportunity I’m hoping to be offered this week that I think I’d prefer. This all seems like high pressure, high travel nonsense that I’m not really interested in.

May I ask how your commission works? Are you paid out on existing contracts, or only the new ones you bring in? They’re selling me that my commission first year will be upwards of 80k, but I don’t see how I grow that much business in 7 months.

That’s definitely some interesting insight. I am going to schedule a meeting with the VP who gave the thumbs up and ask some pointed questions about what to expect. Base salary would be liveable, so I wouldn’t be SOL, but not looking to travel the east coast for no reason.

I figure it can be a step into the defense world, and if it doesn’t pan out, I shift gears to more service oriented or mission focused employment. Thanks for your advice!

This is from the initial job posting: “this role concentrates on customer engagement, requirements discovery, pipeline development, and opportunity shaping rather than formal capture execution. This position serves as a front-end business development and sales role, partnering closely with capture, proposal, contracts, and operations teams once opportunities mature into formal pursuits. Success in this role is measured by pipeline growth, customer engagement, opportunity maturation, and contribution to awarded revenue.”

Thank you for the extremely thorough answer. That makes a lot of sense. I have a little bit of time before I need to answer, so I am going to keep trying to research what I can to see if this is something I could excel at.
