$60-$90K Base? |

Base comp ranges from $60K to $90K, based on your experience, track record, credentials, and negotiating skills. Hitting goal or higher can be lucrative but caveat emptor . . . Read these boards before pursuing CEB. There are a lot of negative posts, most of them reasonably accurate. AD role is a grind, requires constant travel to podunk locales, work environment is like "Boiler Room", and the turnover is sky high. Newbies get lousy territories and lower scored prospects. It's a hard job. If you stick it out, and put up with the constant BS, you can do OK financially. Not so sure it really grows your resume, though. |

I had gotten inside info. the base range was $60 - $75K.... so depending on my negotiation skills and experience (how much are we talking about anyway) I could get $90? Regarding the turn-over, isn't that pretty much the case everywhere and what upward mobility prospects would there be with this position should I decide to pursue it and get it? BTW, I do disagree and think it should do at least some good for one's resume, don't you think? Just trying to get some feelers before taking the plunge here. Thanks for any help.
