Navigating My First Job Offer in Sales: Excitement and Uncertainty at 30

I recently received my first job offer at a sales agency, and I’m feeling a mix of excitement and uncertainty. At 30 years old, I've had several jobs, but none that I truly considered a significant offer until now. This opportunity feels like a lucky break, especially given the current job market. However, I have some reservations. Firstly, I've never worked in sales before, and I need to get certified. I’m grateful that they recognized my potential and decided to give me a chance, but I’m also anxious about stepping into a new field. The salary is higher than anything I've earned before, but I’m questioning whether it’s actually a good offer or if I’m just perceiving it that way because I don’t have a clear understanding of my worth in the job market. I’m also grappling with the idea of turning down this offer. Given the tough job market, good pay, and the stability I’ve been seeking for a long time, it feels daunting to even consider saying no. I’m worried that I might be accepting it just because it’s my first serious job offer. I’m reaching out to see if anyone else has been in a similar situation with their first job offer. What did you do? Also, any advice on what questions to ask when I go in to sign the offer would be greatly appreciated, as I’ve never done this before and just been told 'you’re hired, go to HR' in the past.
