Anyone else noticing this? I was browsing indeed earlier and noticed an account exec for a fairly large wealth management company had a lower base than a position at costco... Wtf

Account executive. Isn’t that someone responsible for cold calling me trying to get on my calendar to tell me about their cloud software? Then setting up a call with someone else. Mostly just a telemarketer

More like hand holding via telephone when customers freak out about market changes. Not my cup of tea, but still insane.

Is account executive not a pretty entry level sales position? Doubtful you're supervising many if any other people.

Fine, a facilities manager for a major hospital group, overseeing over 1k employees also is offering the same as what I would consider a glorified cashier.

A costco cashier makes $75k a year in less time than it takes to get a college degree, and better benefits than the vast majority of any employer.

Garbage and UPS men can easily make 100k in a few years. Sometimes makes me consider leaving my high stress corporate job.
