If I could only chose one then I would go with Salary base job since it would secure my expenses and I wouldn't be pressured on how much I would be earning since it is fixed.
Unlike in commission you don't really know how much you could make in the next cut-off.
But if you have some income other than the commission base job then I think it would be better.
Yes, that's how it goes in commission and salary earning. You'll be relaxed more with salary based job because you know how much you'll be receiving plus the deduction and you don't need to force much of yourself.
But if you're younger and you know that you've got a lot of energy to be a work horse then a commission job is for you. What I know with these people that are in the commission basis, they really like to do sales.
Working for a fixed wage is no longer feasible in the economic conditions that led to the disappearance of the middle class in society, which was able to live on a fixed wage. Some may go to get a second job, but this is very exhausting, both physically and psychologically. For this reason, sending private projects represents the best solution.

Depends on your needs as an individual. If you are into stable income then go with salary baded job and if not, go olthe other way around. Commission-based job would really give you huge amount of money but the problem is; you won't get commission on a daily basis. Perhaps on apratments; an gent could get a commission each time a new tenant will rent the facility but it won't happen on a daily basis right? And there are time that no outputs are tasked to you which means you will not earn any commission for that day/month. On the other hand, salary based won't be that huge but constantly going to your account which would lessen your worry in times of emergency.

Commission jobs really pays well over most of salary base job especially if the work is continusly and projects are always on long-term based. But the reality here is, only those who acquired a good portfolio and skills are those who actually feel the big benefits of doing a commission job.

On the other hand, salary based job are mostly pays with average salary. Only professionals with such good skills are bound to be eligible on a much higher salary rate.

We really need to work wise and hard to achieve that high paying salary.

You are right, but in a commission job, you just need to be persuasive enough for customers to make a purchase from you, and you can also earn more from it than a salary-based job. Usually, in a commission job, they can earn enough money to last three months, which is good, but the problem is that it is not always the case because there are months when you have no earnings, so it is not secure, unlike a salary base, where you are already sure that you'll get a salary by the end of the month, but again, it is extremely difficult to get an increase because you need more experience or spend more years to get a promotion.
if we want to grow financially, then I think the commission system work will be better done. let's say we are marketing properties, the more properties we can sell, the higher our income will be, and that means our hard work is in accordance with the pay we get. if we are employees with a salary system, then we have to work hard but the salary remains stagnant, although sometimes many give company bonuses
Sales industry is not that easy. You need to work with your 'networks and connection' as an agent. Many people got rich because of this so called commission based jobs, but keep in mind that many people quit because of a reason. Figure it out.

Based on your statement, I conclude that any work returns to ourselves, whether in commission work or basic salary work depending on the level of ability and our work in doing it. Broadly speaking, the significant difference between commission work and basic salary work is in terms of time placement.
commission work is usually done by resellers, resellers get a salary from the sales that are shared with the company or the owner of the goods sold, want your position as a senior or junior the more you have more customers, the more salaries and bonuses you get.
while the basic salary job the better we work the greater the chance to be promoted to a higher position and get a higher salary.
Yes, both have different classifications of advantages and disadvantages, but if asked to choose from the two, I prefer commission work, because it doesn't really bind my time and I don't feel dependent on one company.

It is based on your passion. If you are confident talking and selling products that give you a commission, that suits you, really. You can really earn a lot of money from doing this, and many people are living this job, perhaps, it becomes their permanent job.
But if this is not your line, salary base job is the best option. Yes, indeed give you monthly or weekly income, or daily pay but the opportunity to earn more is unlikely possible unless we do a part-time job. Or, take them both - some people are gifted enough...

But as for me, I'm not good at speech or marketing - so I preferred to salary base job (skills).

But for me it is very unpleasant because an employee is only trying to make his boss richer faster through the work he does, so I prefer to just receive a basic salary and use my spare time for other jobs with unstable income. Because I think the thing I do is to increase my income personally and not for someone else like my boss or the like.

This is more of a way to think that you won't grow. If you have passion to do the commission job more than salary and you know that the owner will get more of the profit out of the labour you make and you stop but go to do the salary job, you are not doing good for yourself because you are not doing what you like as your passion. Also you can remember that when you do good in commission jobs you have have more credit, commendation and increase profit.

If you like steady and stability, then the base salary job is for you.  However, if you can sell water to an ocean then you would be best served by a job that pays by commission as you will exponentially make more.
That's something that makes a lot of sense also when the commission is given to employees who can give the number of sales of goods or products of a company increasing every month. Because in addition to the employee who will receive his basic salary as a worker there, he will also get a commission from his boss for being able to increase the number of sales.

Setting aside about making the boss or owner even more richer because this kind of mindset is to those people who are really that thinking about those situations which is simply being crab mentality.

If you are someone who do look for a job and something do finds for some income then you wouldnt really be minding off those things as long you do get hired.Doesnt matter if someone gets rich or not.

It wont really be that much of an issue or matter of things for someone to mind on.Choosing in between commission based or salary fixed then there are indeed jobs
which do offer both things but if you cant find one then its better to stick out on where you are currently placed.

Having a commission requires a lot of hard work and luck and not everyone is that lucky. This was my harsh realization recently as a freelancer. Just by hardworking on trying to promote your business would not budge it since nobody would even know who you are and what are you trying to offer as commission. You might even need to connect to a lot of people in LinkedIn just to get yourself next to the door for opportunities, but it might still not work out.

Having a salary base job with a little bit of commission work would be somehow be better option. Let's say if I work 8-5 as a software dev, I would also sometimes accept commission based work like minor fixes in someone else's website and not those clients who would require you to build a whole web application for them. That combination would make up for the "possible" low salary you earn as well as not having to "work" to find a commission based job since you already have your stable work.

Commission-based jobs do have advantages and disadvantages.
And if we talk about the downside of taking on commission based jobs, it's very difficult to do it in the beginning for beginners. because in this type of work requires a strong mentality, high motivation, not easily give up, skilled in speaking and also skilled in introducing products/services. good at attracting customers/buyers. and no less important is to always be able to look convincing with a facial expression that must always be cheerful and not gloomy.
For beginners to master these things takes quite a long time. and often many give up in this field of work.

but the advantage of this type of commission work is that we have the potential to get a salary exceeding the average salary of people who work with a fixed salary every month. because if we are proficient and many customers then this commission work can bring in income many times over. The condition is that we must really master the science of marketing.

The benefits of stable work are stability and security, while the commission is to broaden your circle, allow you to contact more other fields, and increase your ability to resist risks. The two do not conflict, but complement each other.

If you like steady and stability, then the base salary job is for you.  However, if you can sell water to an ocean then you would be best served by a job that pays by commission as you will exponentially make more.

Simple, but the logic is right. If you can do that, your chance to create more money with your skills fits for a commission base job,

it's something that you can established, a good example is real state if you have good knowledge selling multimillion properties, imagine

the money that you can take each time you sold one property, it's more from your monthly salary if compared to a salary-based job.

More on how you execute or on your choices that you will going to perform. Life is a choice, make a good one for you.

There's better assurance in a salary-based job than in a commission-based job. Commision-based jobs offer a higher salary but there's no guarantee that you could always win clients especially if the account is too complex. In a salary-based job, you only have to perform your best to fulfill all the given tasks and you will be paid accordingly. Those who seek assurance and stability would prefer to receive a salary regularly.
Commission based job clearly makes high offers but you also have to reach your quota as well so you can avail high amount of payout. Maybe in some days, you get lucky and close the deal, but in most days you get unlucky and end up broken. So most likely, there is no guaranteed profits for that that makes it too risky if you are a breadwinner and a family man. The reason why others just settle for salary based job, even if the rate is low, at least they can be paid accordingly.

Having a fixed salary job can be of the biggest disadvantage to someone considering that with inflation, your salary can become less than sufficient for your basic needs in a short time, and since a salary job also means that the salary you are paid at the end of the month is also considered a consolation for the time spent in working for their benefits, you time is consumed.

A commission-based job puts value more on your job and pays you better for the time spent, and also give you time to find other interest and engage in self-development/growth. In a couple of years if you do a commission-based job you can on your own observe the level of growth and how developed you have become in that particular field but a salary job can keep you stale.

I would personally choose a commission-based job but also will not criticize those that choose the fixed salary jobs because truthfully the rigours associated with commission-based jobs cannot be handled by everyone.
Massively agree with you on that take. Most companies here will not take into account the ever-rising inflation that plagues the economy yearly, so people are left with a choice to leave and risk dying of starvation or keeping their regular 9-5 job that will only sustain them enough to get by. Commission-based jobs are the best when it comes to profit but without prior knowledge of sales or experience thereof, you will not be able to make it. I'm kind of wondering why OP's friend hadn't thought of going freelance, that seems to be the most sensible option given his situation.

In some cases they are tied to certain requirement for payment and when they don't get to it they are paid incomplete. Normally there are task that the company will require from their employees before they get paid even on salary based income.
How will you be expecting a company to be paying you without doing your job, they are paying you salary those not mean you won't work, you will definitely have your own task you will be doing if you want to be paid.
I think I prefer salary job to commission work, why I prefer salary job is that am not really the type that can relate with people easily, people like me will definitely find it difficult to do commission work, because you will have to learn how to relate with people so that you will be able to sell your products, the amount of sales you make will determine the amount you will receive, so when you don't make much sales you won't expect much profit.
When you are been paid salary, just do your task and you don't have to care about the amount of sales the company make, you will definitely receive your salary at the end of the month, you don't have to relate with people or make new friends, just do the necessary things and you will receive your payment by month end.
