Anyone considering OE?

I have a few interviews and offers from different companies. All of them are remote, but one is outside sales. 

I am considering accepting all jobs and just winging it. Thoughts? All of these jobs are relatively low paying & bottom of the flag pole.

Accepting all sounds like a mess. Find the best one you like, try to leverage your other offers and see what happens.

Good luck!

Tell me you are not good at your job without telling me you are not good at your job.

But seriously, sales is all about relationships and being able to scale to multiples of your pay with relationships. OE people, like what you are trying to do, will only screw over most people. Don’t do it. Don’t be that guy.

I’d grab whatever came along first and if something came along better, I’d quit the first.

Sounds like a recipe for disaster. Can you find a better paying, higher level job so you don’t feel like you have to do this?

I do not recommend this. It's going to create headaches for everyone involved, but mostly yourself.

Not going to lie, this is all I could think of when I first read your post.. Probably also not a good idea

Did you consider reapplying for a different job with a higher payout?

Being a low payout offer doesn't sound that appealing for me tbh..

So unless you need any of em so much, I recommend you to wait till finding a better opportunity that you deserve!

Best of luck.

You are better off finding the one product you are most passionate about. I have sold products I have loved and those I didn't really care about, I always sold better when I cared about the product and it felt like I was doing good in the world.

find jobs that can be combined. Otherwise it's just milking it for a short time. Would not do that

Colleague of mine works at a restaurant casually after hours Fridays and weekends. Mostly because we work remote and he misses the social interaction
