Hey not bad thanks for asking. Ive been working the past couple months doing some data entry/html work for a guy I know owns a small company. Under the table stuff so I can keep on with the unemployment - figured my old company paid into the system might as well get whats coming. I've had two good interviews with local consulting firms in the past couple weeks, pretty intersting stuff. Nothing yet, but I'm working so I cant complain!
Pretty much, there was just too much downside. 80+hours a week, requirements in terms of phone calls (300 per day minimum). At AmEx, you get paid $6.50/hr for your first 4 months, and virtually no one excedes that in terms of comission. You know, I just didnt feel like making my living that way. There was a lot of pressure to sell proprietary stocks and funds, which even if they pay better, I couldnt honestly tell someone to buy them knowing there were dozens of better options out there. Just not for me thats all. I eventually would like to maybe do it for myself, but if thats the way I have to break in, then its just not worth it.
