I wanted to ask afew better questions.

So I have the sales job, goal salary is 50k a year 100% commission, it's at a start up and i suppose i'm thankful for the experience.
My 2 questions.

So I remember reading from you the best industries for big paydays are construction, finance and healthcare was it? I'm in technology, I guess I want to focus on that since Scandinavia is sort of known for it. I might work this job for 3-6 months, have some sort of "heres what i did and can do" then hit up the bigger companies.

How do you find out if the sector/industry or company has the ability to provide those huge commission paydays, I'm looking at the position I got now and I really don't see how it can go above 80k even with hustle.

Also, you talked about going to venture capital presentations? what are these? All i can find is like business talks which would be shit for actually meeting the movers and shakers.
