Job seekers never pay to use this board. An Apply button opens the employer's own application page, or the page of the recruiting firm filling the seat; only where a company or its recruiting firm pays us for a hire who came from here does that link carry our referral code, and the fee comes from them, never out of the base or OTE the role offers you.

Ask before you sign

Illinois has required a pay range in job postings since 1 January 2025: 79% of the Illinois sales roles on this board showed one on 1 November 2026. Ask whether the figure is base or on-target earnings and which territory comes with the seat.

Posted pay for each kind of seat

Each row's band comes from that kind's own open postings in this market, by the method behind every band on the board (from the 25th percentile of the midpoints of posted ranges (each counted as yearly pay, a rate per hour at 2,080 hours) to the 90th percentile of their top ends); a row needs three distinct posted ranges before it gets one. Every figure is yearly pay in US dollars; where a posting quotes a rate per hour, week or month, it is multiplied by 2,080, 52 or 12 to make a full-time year (40 hours over 52 weeks).

Requirements named in the postings

Frequently asked questions

How much does a Chicago sales seat pay?

The open Chicago sales roles carry 525 separate posted pay ranges. The middle of that market is $97.5k–$301k/yr and its median $143k/yr, each figure the range a posting states, base or OTE as it labels it. The richest posting tops out at $543k/yr, at Hewlett Packard Enterprise. 136 of the 666 leave pay out, which usually means the number comes up at the recruiter screen.

What do Chicago sales employers ask for?

Mostly a record of closing: two or more years for a mid-market seat and more for enterprise. Software companies often hire their Chicago sellers to cover a Central or Midwest region, which can mean travel to customers in other states, so ask how much. The years and degrees today's open roles name are counted on this page. Counting the requirement lines of 181 open Chicago sales roles, 47 a bachelor's or some degree and 134 mention no degree at all.

Who hires salespeople in Chicago?

On 1 November 2026 the employers with the most open sales roles here were Stripe, Salesforce, Braze, DoorDash, Gong, Okta, Intercom and Databricks, beside the city's own food, industrial and logistics companies. Four in ten seats are account executive roles.

Are these openings real?

Each one is read from the employer's own careers system (Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Workday and the like), and Apply takes you to that company's application. Stuut, LangChain, Writer and CareDx are among the employers on this page. A real employer never charges you for training, a starter kit or a background check; the scam checker lists the other warning signs of a fake offer.
