thinking about taking a job in the industry. 40k base pay but the occupation is basically commissioned-backed, seeing as closing deals is where all your money is made. Any input would be appreciated

Stressful job, high pace, but I am also the IT guy so i bounce back and forth

You will basically be a caveman. If you can't knock something in the head, you won't eat. If you are a hunter type by nature, you can do well. Very cutthroat and plenty of unethical folks in it. Also some decent types.
