Many people write to us asking for advice about job satisfaction, and which industry or role they can go into to make money while being happy with where they work. We wanted to give some answers using real data, so we reached out to our friends at CompGauge, a platform where you can check out comp data for thousands of companies, and get insights from some of the biggest organizations in sales.
CompGauge surveyed roughly 10,000 salespeople from over 2,000 companies, asking the following question: “Would you recommend your Sales job?” They then divided the number of salespeople who responded “Yes, I would recommend this job” by the total number of respondents for each company to get the percentage of salespeople who would recommend a sales job at that company, with a required minimum of 15 respondents.
