Do you like commission job or salary base job?

[Gozie51]

However, with a salary based job, as long as you do your job right, you will always be compensated with that. So there is more security here even if your performance level has decreased.

But this is not always the case that employees that are not proforming get enumerated completely. In some cases they are tied to certain requirement for payment and when they don't get to it they are paid incomplete. Normally there are task that the company will require from their employees before they get paid even on salary based income.

As much as possible, we want a stable profit where we control our time. Unfortunately, that was not always the case even for a commission job. To make things not difficult, try to always choose where our time will be worth it and pays well.

Really hard to find a job that is convenient for some people and in return, pays well decently that's why as much as possible, if there's an opportunity to setup an own business, try to consider doing it.

It's really a good practice to work wise but sometimes really need to work hard first before being wise.

Proportional salary will certainly train employees to work optimally and professionally, for example in my place there is a fine if it's too late, does not come to work and so on, so that when the time to get a salary then the employee discount can vary, but on the contrary if employees can work professionally then deserve an award or additional money.

What if the employee is sick? Are you also not given slack at work? Because illness is an unpredictable thing when it will come and when it will recover, so it would be very cruel if a company did not consider the problem to its employees. In terms of salaries that are different from professional employees, I don't think it's a problem because employees who have certain professions are sometimes also difficult to find, so it's natural for such employees to get an additional salary.

I think this is a different case, if you are sick, but there must be a doctor's certificate, I think it can only be said that it does not violate the agreed rules,

A commission-based job — easily. I'd prefer me having to earn more when I outperform and/or work harder rather than having a "safe" salary. It really depends on a case to case basis though; someone in a bad financial situation might want a stabler income especially if he/she sort of lacks the skills and connections.

There’s always limitless opportunities to earn when you work for a commission bases particularly when you are good and shows more passion in your job. You can always target higher profits and set it as your monthly goal. However, with salary based jobs, I believe its what most of the people want to venture in because aside that skills and high knowledge are not required, as long as you can do your job the right way, you will always receive a fixed and decent amount of salary.

But indeed for commission work, it is clear that the challenge is also quite a bit difficult because if we don't master this well then we will actually only have difficulties, especially if there is indeed a target that we must achieve.
On the other hand, for basic salary jobs, it is less difficult when working because we only have to continue to follow the work standards that are applied but this is certainly not as heavy as for commissions, I think and I prefer this option.

If you are someone who likes stability and doesn't want to scramble, a job with a basic salary will be very suitable. But for me, I always want to earn more money, love to discover new things because it can help me get great opportunities, and always set goals for myself to try every day, I like commission work.

No job is better than another, each has its own pros and cons. Depending on the thoughts and personality of each person, we choose to suit ourselves. As long as we feel comfortable, satisfied when working there, we have done the right thing.

[Mpamaegbu]

To be frank, I don't like any of the two. I like being the CEO, the employer myself. My position stems from an in-depth scrutiny of the situation. I've worked both as an employee and employer and then realized as an employer of labour, no one pays their employee more than 10% of the total money the staff makes for the company. No matter whatever salary you get paid, thinking it's cool, it's invariably less than 10% of what you would've made for the company. However, if it boils down to choosing between commissioned and salaried job, every proactive employee should go for commissioned job. They efforts will earn them more independently.

True, there is nothing wrong in this because indeed everyone has their own perspective and it depends on the desire to determine whether it is more comfortable to be in a job with a basic salary or indeed looking for a job with a commission. The most important thing in this case is that when we have made a choice, what we have to do is stay focused on that choice so that the results we do are maximized because we also have our own demands and we are paid to do what must be done according to the standards of the company that employs us.

How will you be expecting a company to be paying you without doing your job, they are paying you salary those not mean you won't work, you will definitely have your own task you will be doing if you want to be paid.
I think I prefer salary job to commission work, why I prefer salary job is that am not really the type that can relate with people easily, people like me will definitely find it difficult to do commission work, because you will have to learn how to relate with people so that you will be able to sell your products, the amount of sales you make will determine the amount you will receive, so when you don't make much sales you won't expect much profit.
When you are been paid salary, just do your task and you don't have to care about the amount of sales the company make, you will definitely receive your salary at the end of the month, you don't have to relate with people or make new friends, just do the necessary things and you will receive your payment by month end.

Having a fixed salary job can be of the biggest disadvantage to someone considering that with inflation, your salary can become less than sufficient for your basic needs in a short time, and since a salary job also means that the salary you are paid at the end of the month is also considered a consolation for the time spent in working for their benefits, you time is consumed.

A commission-based job puts value more on your job and pays you better for the time spent, and also give you time to find other interest and engage in self-development/growth. In a couple of years if you do a commission-based job you can on your own observe the level of growth and how developed you have become in that particular field but a salary job can keep you stale.

I would personally choose a commission-based job but also will not criticize those that choose the fixed salary jobs because truthfully the rigours associated with commission-based jobs cannot be handled by everyone.

Massively agree with you on that take. Most companies here will not take into account the ever-rising inflation that plagues the economy yearly, so people are left with a choice to leave and risk dying of starvation or keeping their regular 9-5 job that will only sustain them enough to get by. Commission-based jobs are the best when it comes to profit but without prior knowledge of sales or experience thereof, you will not be able to make it. I'm kind of wondering why OP's friend hadn't thought of going freelance, that seems to be the most sensible option given his situation.

There's better assurance in a salary-based job than in a commission-based job. Commision-based jobs offer a higher salary but there's no guarantee that you could always win clients especially if the account is too complex. In a salary-based job, you only have to perform your best to fulfill all the given tasks and you will be paid accordingly. Those who seek assurance and stability would prefer to receive a salary regularly.

Commission based job clearly makes high offers but you also have to reach your quota as well so you can avail high amount of payout. Maybe in some days, you get lucky and close the deal, but in most days you get unlucky and end up broken. So most likely, there is no guaranteed profits for that that makes it too risky if you are a breadwinner and a family man. The reason why others just settle for salary based job, even if the rate is low, at least they can be paid accordingly.

If you like steady and stability, then the base salary job is for you.  However, if you can sell water to an ocean then you would be best served by a job that pays by commission as you will exponentially make more.

Simple, but the logic is right. If you can do that, your chance to create more money with your skills fits for a commission base job,

it's something that you can established, a good example is real state if you have good knowledge selling multimillion properties, imagine

the money that you can take each time you sold one property, it's more from your monthly salary if compared to a salary-based job.

More on how you execute or on your choices that you will going to perform. Life is a choice, make a good one for you.

[Truyet Lan]

The benefits of stable work are stability and security, while the commission is to broaden your circle, allow you to contact more other fields, and increase your ability to resist risks. The two do not conflict, but complement each other.

[Jatiluhung]

Commission-based jobs do have advantages and disadvantages.
And if we talk about the downside of taking on commission based jobs, it's very difficult to do it in the beginning for beginners. because in this type of work requires a strong mentality, high motivation, not easily give up, skilled in speaking and also skilled in introducing products/services. good at attracting customers/buyers. and no less important is to always be able to look convincing with a facial expression that must always be cheerful and not gloomy.
For beginners to master these things takes quite a long time. and often many give up in this field of work.

but the advantage of this type of commission work is that we have the potential to get a salary exceeding the average salary of people who work with a fixed salary every month. because if we are proficient and many customers then this commission work can bring in income many times over. The condition is that we must really master the science of marketing.

[GideonGono]

If I could only chose one then I would go with Salary base job since it would secure my expenses and I wouldn't be pressured on how much I would be earning since it is fixed.
Unlike in commission you don't really know how much you could make in the next cut-off.
But if you have some income other than the commission base job then I think it would be better.

Having a commission requires a lot of hard work and luck and not everyone is that lucky. This was my harsh realization recently as a freelancer. Just by hardworking on trying to promote your business would not budge it since nobody would even know who you are and what are you trying to offer as commission. You might even need to connect to a lot of people in LinkedIn just to get yourself next to the door for opportunities, but it might still not work out.

Having a salary base job with a little bit of commission work would be somehow be better option. Let's say if I work 8-5 as a software dev, I would also sometimes accept commission based work like minor fixes in someone else's website and not those clients who would require you to build a whole web application for them. That combination would make up for the "possible" low salary you earn as well as not having to "work" to find a commission based job since you already have your stable work.

That's something that makes a lot of sense also when the commission is given to employees who can give the number of sales of goods or products of a company increasing every month. Because in addition to the employee who will receive his basic salary as a worker there, he will also get a commission from his boss for being able to increase the number of sales.

But for me it is very unpleasant because an employee is only trying to make his boss richer faster through the work he does, so I prefer to just receive a basic salary and use my spare time for other jobs with unstable income. Because I think the thing I do is to increase my income personally and not for someone else like my boss or the like.

Setting aside about making the boss or owner even more richer because this kind of mindset is to those people who are really that thinking about those situations which is simply being crab mentality.

If you are someone who do look for a job and something do finds for some income then you wouldnt really be minding off those things as long you do get hired.Doesnt matter if someone gets rich or not.

It wont really be that much of an issue or matter of things for someone to mind on.Choosing in between commission based or salary fixed then there are indeed jobs
which do offer both things but if you cant find one then its better to stick out on where you are currently placed.

This is more of a way to think that you won't grow. If you have passion to do the commission job more than salary and you know that the owner will get more of the profit out of the labour you make and you stop but go to do the salary job, you are not doing good for yourself because you are not doing what you like as your passion. Also you can remember that when you do good in commission jobs you have have more credit, commendation and increase profit.

Yes, that's how it goes in commission and salary earning. You'll be relaxed more with salary based job because you know how much you'll be receiving plus the deduction and you don't need to force much of yourself.
But if you're younger and you know that you've got a lot of energy to be a work horse then a commission job is for you. What I know with these people that are in the commission basis, they really like to do sales.
