Do you like commission job or salary base job?

[jostorres]

Every human being has the type of work that will fit him/her. Not all job is the same.

Commission job is well challenging. Having that type of work requires you to be moving from one place to another, trying to convince people that might end up not buying the product you market.
Commission job is not really for people who are not outspoken, jovial and smart. Stay far from a commission job if you don't exhibit such traits.

I preferred a commission job to a salary job. The reason is that I hate to be controlled in a particular job without having other chances to explore and excel in other fields

I think it's possible that any kinds of jobs will fit to each of us because what if you live in a poor country where jobs are only limited? Instead of complaining and be too choosy, people there just pick up any jobs as long as there is still a vacancy. What important for those people is to earn and have something to fill their stomach.

You said you hate being controlled by your boss but I think when you are doing commission works, you will still be dictated by your client and sometimes they are also the ones that will decide if how much cut you are going to get. If you truly want freedom then you better be an entrepreneur and build your own business.

Survival do what matter the most on which we arent on the position on demanding on what jobs should be offered and most of the times you would really be having no choice but to deal up with those current

offerings unless if those salary bracket isnt really justifying your experience and past positions then it would really be depending on your decision whether you would swallow that ego or pride just to have some

job which is something that you arent expecting that you would really be accepting.Its true that if you do hate on having a boss or much prefer that you arent licking someones shoes
then you would be totally be sticking into entrepreneurship or making a business.

Well I now have a job with a salary paid each month and I like it that way.  I think I would be nervous if a had a job where my salary is so much less but I could make a bigger commission if I made some sort of quota that was expected for me to make.
Many years ago I worked a job in Sales and it was a commission based job.  It was a stressful Sales job and I had to work more then 40 hours in each week to make my quota.  It was a nice job to have at the time but too much to worry about if people didn't want to buy the insurance I was selling then I was in trouble and worked 50 or more hours each week just to survive.

A commission-based job does not provide the stability that a salary gives you. How on earth will you buy a house or property on a commission-based job? You have zero guarantee that you will be able to pay your monthly expenses and bond payments, if you earn commission every month.

I like a job where you get a fixed salary and then they add a commission incentive, if you participate in sales. (You might be working in HR or Finance or Logistics... but you also help in sales.) 

[Paul Pogba]

I prefer commission jobs than salary base jobs, this is because commission jobs are usually bigger, for example if we get an assignment to sell a house and succeed, we can get a big commission, there are many job opportunities based on commissions and another advantage is that they are not tied to routines such as salary base jobs.

[lienfaye]

As a person with a family to feed and relying on me, salary based job is more suitable. Having a monthly stable income is more secure and less worries compared to commission based wherein you have to strive harder in order to get more sales. I experienced it before, it's hard and stressful and ideal only as part time.

However, it still depends on your capability because there are people who are able to survive and exel through commission based because of their dedication and passion to the said job. It's really true that if you love what you're doing, you won't feel any burden but instead motivated to be successful and become financially stable.

Commission job work will help us be more active and positive at work as well as more responsible for our life because to achieve our goal, we have to work continuously. Unlike commission jobs, basic salary jobs give us a stable life, less competition and you hardly have to worry too much about your life. Both have pros and cons, depending on the preferences that each person will choose the job they love and suitable for their personality, it is impossible to say which is better than the other.

[Techkoy407]

both have positive and negative sides,
but if I had to choose, I would choose commission work, because I want to grow and keep looking for new innovations,
because if the job is salary or monthly, it is indeed a safe zone but tends to be difficult to develop abilities.

[uswa56]

both have comparable results, salary-based jobs require one to work according to the existing rules and commissioned jobs require to achieve more in order to get what we have done.

I think it's the same and coming back to myself, everyone has a different view of it.
I personally prefer commission work, because in my opinion because it can spur myself to do better every day to be able to get maximum results, and of course also because it will create even better prospects in life that don't just watch with hope. the agreed salary with nothing that could be done to earn more.
it's about pushing yourself to accept challenges and make things that will impact your own strengths too, many good things will be received if you work on a job that gets commissions.

It's true, both sides have their own votes, different people do have different take in regard to this matter, you already provide a good
opinion in taking sides between commission and salary base job.

On my take, I'll go with salary job as I needed stable income each month to provide the needs of my family, though there's also pro's
in doing a commission base job.

But living in a place where budget is always relying with your month-to-month salary, most likely salary job will be the good option.

[barisbilgili]

a job with a salary basis is more promising, we don't know what will happen to us in the future, when we are sick or unable to do the work we do so we can't get the slightest commission. it's a big risk when we choose commission work.

I think it's better to find a job with a more profitable salary basis even though there are many burdens that must be carried but at least it doesn't interfere with our finances and we don't have to think about many things to do the things we will do to survive.

[Fara Chan]

There are levels of job criteria as you mentioned, I mean some countries are not fully available on the general criteria regarding the jobs you mentioned. But if I were given a choice, I would choose commission-based workers.
This type of work is suitable for people who have skills and like to work hard. Interestingly, we are not made into machines by others, because based work like this becomes the sole owner, therefore skill and hard work will never go to waste, because if we get results, it is absolutely ours.

[serjent05]

I'd rather have both, there are companies that offer both wherein an employee can have a regular salary while having a commission.  This is the beauty of being involved in a marketing and sales company.  Not all people have options like this.  Basically, office people are forced to accept a salary base job while those at the free agent / independent distributor are forced to accept a commission base job.

Those who enjoy these two kinds of salary are mostly company agent that is involved in sales and marketing such as Drug company agent, and alike.

a job with a salary basis is more promising, we don't know what will happen to us in the future, when we are sick or unable to do the work we do so we can't get the slightest commission. it's a big risk when we choose commission work.

You also won't get paid if you don't work even if your job is a salary base.

I think it's better to find a job with a more profitable salary basis even though there are many burdens that must be carried but at least it doesn't interfere with our finances and we don't have to think about many things to do the things we will do to survive.

Indeed those who have no skill in marketing and sales should choose salary base job.

You certainly need to be a charismatic and outgoing person in the sales industry. I don't classify as such, and I'd have a hard time surviving in such an environment. On the other hand, I have thought that car sales would suit me because I'm a huge fan of automobiles. However, salesmen are often forced to trick customers into thinking they're getting a great deal by selling them a defective or problematic vehicle, which I find completely unethical and a scam practice. I could never do that; selling something knowing that it has issues is a no-go for me.

[harizen]

People have different preferences and financial situations that's why whether it's a commission-based or salary-based job, both are useful at some point. There are even persons that already have a fixed salary base job but still doing part-time, freelance, or any other commission jobs just to maximize the potential earnings they can get although, on the other hand, it will take a toll on their physical and mental health.

As for me, that has a fixed job, I'm thankful to have a side income and other opportunities to earn. But everything should be balanced and not get to the point that I always feel exhausted because of taking on lots of different work at the same time.

[Ani1985]

Right now I prefer salary base jobs because I want security, if I already have enough skills and capital then I will try the luck of Commission Job, especially since I want to have freedom of time so it will be difficult if only focus on salary base jobs.

Working and getting a basic salary at a company is a very good thing, because everyone wants to have a job and a basic salary that matches their expertise. But to find additional income in life, everyone still needs to rely on better time, skills and focus so that they can get additional income that is greater than the basic salary you often receive every month. So both I think are good for you to work on as long as you have more time and skills.

[Kemarit]

As explained both have benefits, me? I'm a salary based person, but I quit my job long time ago to focus on business and then crypto trading/investing.

But there are some of my friends who really thrived on commission based, I don't know how do they did it, but I will tell that they are very successful. Specially in selling properties like condos and houses, it will take some time for them, but once they got their first sales, it's smooth sailing. One thing they told me is that network is very important for them and that you just don't know, maybe the person you just met will be your future clients.

Both have pros and cons, depending on the preferences that each person will choose the job they love and suitable for their personality, it is impossible to say which is better than the other.

The choice will depend on your needs, what exactly does a person need, calm and measured work, or does a person have any aspirations and motivation? Energetic people who want to achieve more in this life very often leave work and create some kind of business, in this case they will have to work just as much, but at the same time the person will be his own boss.

[Minecache]

The current economic conditions are very difficult and these 2 choices are also difficult, when we work base jobs, the salary given is also small, but when the economic conditions are still recession like this, I think Commission Job is more worth trying than salary base jobs.

The economic crisis will cause spending and shopping to drop sharply, so commission jobs will be difficult to reach customers. With the jsalary base job, the working time will also be cut and the salary will not meet the daily demand because the items have increased by 15-30% while our salary has not increased. In this case, both are not dominant.
