I left my previous job that paid me 65k whilst I was at uni for this role, thinking it would take me places. I was wrong.

I'm only on 51k base.. it's terrible and I've been here nearly 2 years, they recently sacked 100+ staff in the US. Our team in Australia only consists of 14 members.

It is a joke, if I stayed at my old job, I would have easily hit 80k

heh this isnt gl trade is it?

[Primordial]

Johnny, do you have any crystal experience? We might be looking for someone in the next couple of months with your skill set. Unfortunately the pay wouldnt be much more than 70k package or so, but definitely not much less either.

We've got a production environment with Oracle(SQL) Database (tight, well maintained and structured, not a total shit-fight ), Crystal Reports (Business Objects Enterprise), and a Java front end. Looking for DBA / Sysadmin with experience in SQL Procedures/Views and Crystal..

Let me know via PM if it sounds interesting and I'll keep you posted. It wouldnt start till at least November though, as I'm about to go on leave for a couple of months and I'm doing the hiring!

Are you guys even speaking english?

Damn computers have some funny names/phrases!

Anyway, if you can sell, and I mean actually go out, motivate yourself, knock on a door, meet a new person, build rapport easily, find what a customer wants (sometimes being very subtle about this), then close a deal id say to forget about IT and go to sales. You could even sell IT products (i wouldnt know where to start anymore though, havnt sold software for a while).

Sales ALWAYS pays for people that can prove themselves as a good salesman. I dont mean to offend anyone reading who may happen to be in Internal Sales, but im not meaning the sort of sales where you sit by a phone and wait for it to ring, i mean doing deal after deal day in day out by getting out there and being proactive (for example, look on seek.com for an internal role vs external role then compare packages).

All this talk of tough economic times etc and look at the top sales reps in most fields - they still have jobs they're happy in. If you're a productive sales rep a company wont fire you, at times they'll try to pretend you're not an asset but when you say you're going to walk just watch that attitude change.

Sales is not for everyone, but if you want to earn 6 figures, you're crazy to not consider it

A good sales guy is hard to find and in my experience usually ends up getting head hunted for their next roll because of their skills and/or customer base they can bring across.

I even know a lot of sales guys i don't rate, but because all they can sell is themselves, are on very comfy packages.

I'm not really into sales, I'm not that good at selling things, I even had trouble selling my 180SX before lol
