Sales roles for USD 500k+

Hello WSO,

I realised that I am keen on pursuing a sales-intense role with substantial responsibility and I've been wondering what industries or companies you would look at for sales roles with large upside potential for commissions. Ideally, I'd love to work for a company with no cap on the achievable commission.

I've heard that there's a lot of money to be made in IT or enterprise software sales, for example. I believe the author of the Miracle Morning mentioned he made like 650k as a sales rep at Oracle.

So, I thought I might ask around if any of you guys know of industries or companies where sales reps can make 500k+. That would really be incredibly helpful to me!

Really, thank you very much for your time and help!
