28m, single

Currently working as sales and marketing exec for a bank in car loan department, making 3.3 basic (+1k if including claims), no commission and ot, just got confirmed not too long ago after 6 months despite figure isn't looking good

To be honest I don't see myself staying long in this role (730am to sometimes as late as 8pm most days, high target, constantly getting chased by customers and salesman even when on leave, all that and no incentive to keep pushing, getting pushed to do more from time to time), feels like the money isn't worth it given the time I put in.

Thinking of getting into p2 as salesman mainly for the commission (more drive to push for more), easier to sell, and somewhat less stress than my current job although it's still sales, and I like car stuff

I have enough savings to last me 6 months min as I expect to makan 1.5 for the first few months to build things up, only commitment is ptptn and yayasan

Wanted to know y'all thoughts, car salesman are even more welcomed to lemme know your thoughts, and feel free to roast

Thanks!

*Career growth in banking is out of the question, the stress is already lots in my current role🤣*

seems your personality is not suited for a desk job. your heart runs wild at Sales and think is easier and faster. end of day nothing is easy if you dont have a heart for it. Desk job promise you a career, slow but is steady. But at your age, you are underperforming at 4k. Wont be enough to sustain in todays economy.
Sales, be it cars, insurance, IT, properties, you make if you work hard. It is also a transferable skill, path your industry and growth that you think suits you.

Follow your passion, your career will grow faster than you will expect it to be.

You are still young, man. Follow your dreams. Go on and try to be what you want. Even if it does not work out, its still not too late to turn back.


When I first came out to do car sales back then during the year 2000, my basic salary was on Rm300. My Celcom bill that time was already Rm180/ month. And I still manage to survive. Lol.

The basic for car sales exec now is Rm1.3-1.5k.

Wait... no side income? Why do I hear story where bankers side deal with sales agent?

I saw your thread in /k/

if I were to say something, I would say stay with banking
but then that's just me

but if money is what you want, then you know what you need to do
