So for context, i (23M) work in residential sales for an Estate Agent and i’ve been doing really well recently, though over the last year there’s been a few months where i’ve had to rely on the basic salary (sub-£16K) which just about covers rent and food and then i’m short before the end of the month if i go out on one night or have to do viewings far away due to fuel.
I’ve been offered a job in commercial sales (office spaces) paying more than double my basic, plus what looks to be similar if not better comission that i get paid the month the contract is signed so cash flow is much better and i have to work much less “roles” within my job, less if any cold calling etc. Though my current director is telling me i’m a fool and wont pass probation and will likely be taking one step forward to take two back.
Am i being naive by thinking i’ve got a lucky opportunity? Or should i just back myself and go for it?
(I know this probably doesn’t belong in this sub, but i follow you guys wvery day and you always seem to give everyone great advice)
Thank you!
