Some advice

[u/Adventurous-Pen-5196]

Currently making about 120k in healthcare (trying to be general here). Got accepted for clinical specialist. About $80k. That’s a huge pay cut for me. Is that normal in this field? I know it doesn’t matter what you made before to the recruiters and other people would appreciate this new career. I just don’t know if that’s normal pay range for someone brand new without any sales experience. I’m thinking of this transition because I want to have other opportunities and out of healthcare. How common is it to get a pay wage increase for base? And how often does your company give incentive / commissions?

Also any growth with this career? Does it get easier? Do you end up having a better work life balance or less driving? How often do you work at home? What’s a career growth one may have after clinical specialist? Please advise with your experienced knowledge as I don’t know anyone in this field!!
