100% inside sales, 8-5. The training manager preferred green - greenish sales people bc he could train them his way. Low side base 38,500, high side 45,000. We were churn and burn though. Hired/fired 3/5 a month, then RIF 4th QTR and start fresh QTR 1.
This was 10 years ago.
The biggest competitor in the state that I have now takes on green sales people, 50/50 inside/outside sales. They start at mid 40's.

You're so lost in your assumptions/thin air. In 1998, mortgage loan with 10% down and higher than adequate credit rating and combined salary landed us 7.125%. A BofA CD was a whopping 2.250%.
Come on, man. There is no reason to inflate your position here.

I was talking about the 70s and 80s pal. The late 90s were "typical" rates. What many economist would like us to get back to.

Maybe that's not the word I was looking for. 4% is historically low and 15% is high. The target rate for mortgages is around 7-8%. I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish here.

I mean, sure we didn't have a phone... who could pay for it? A Motorola bag phone back then cost 500 to buy, was 30 minutes free a month and 50 cents a minute overage

Military has a massive pilot shortage. If you have a decent GPA, I would pursue a pilot slot in the Air Guard or Reserves.
Thank me later

Yep. I had a truck phone and it was expensive. Hell, my first VCR cost $600. There were no luxuries.

Looking at historical rates puts an average CD yield at around 4.8 - 5.1% in 1998.
Regardless, that post was referring to rates in the 80s.
And yes, a 6 month CD yielded around 11 fricking percent in 1984

You can look this stuff up in 2 seconds. I don't understand how they're controversial on this site.

Mortgage rates were 13-15% around that time. 17% in 1982

What would you do without Google? To those of us old enough to have lived before it, don't you think our Google is simply memory? I know what my crappy rates were. I was only 27 trying to figure it all out with a real live human being.

You an Kilroy are missing my point, which is, when you are starting out and can’t afford any of those things, you’re not in a position to negotiate a salary because you think you need those things, nor is your prospective employer obligated to factor those things into your salary offer, that’s all
That's not really true all the time and for every industry. My industry pays kids right out of undergrad at least 2 1/2 - 3 times that before bonus, and they know they have leverage if they have a good alternative (which they all do).
On top of all that, this is a damn tight labor market. I'd be surprised if that was able to catch talented kids right out of school right now, even in lower CoL city like BR.
