I got two job offers and have started one today. It’s a base pay + commission set up at a car dealership. I answer phones and if the ppl I speak to come in to see/buy a car, I get commission on top of $17 an hour pay, working 6 days a week. The boss is great and the team is young and welcoming. The boss is very flexible and is willing to adjust my position so that I do more clerical work to compensate for the base pay being so low (I left a billing coordinator role that was baking $27 an hour). It would be following a script over the phone and I already feel I’ll do a good job though this position requires you to be opportunistic/get clients to set an appt to come in store.
I have an offer for another company as a representative for a union, it’d be $35 an hour w a 35-hr work week, great benefits and a 401k paid for by the company.
I interviewed rlly well for the dealership while i was extremely nervous when interviewed for the union position (three round interview w all women who are much more discerning then men imo).
I was shocked to get the union offer and both roles have great employee reviews. I start the union job on 11/30 and was going to work at the car dealership for the 3 weeks until then but now i’m feeling rlly deceptive bc I’m working w the intention of leaving. Any tips on how to quit amicably/whether it’s smart to take a job for a test run.
My goal was to see if it’s true that the commission would mean easy money in which case, i’d rather stay at a job that would make more than the salaried (65k) job would. Just looking for perspective on if I’m being smart or stupid.
