Answer 4

Tough to answer. If you work for a firm, then expect to be paid a small commission for each placement. Typically 10% of the 25-35% they collect from the client. So on a $60k placement, you may make around $1500. Many times, less. There are quotas and numbers that have to be met at all levels. You can make a decent living but will have to work long and hard.
