Thoughtspot is more of a startup culture where most of the sales comes from outbound and it’s a tougher sell.

After a 6 mo cycle I closed a large deal (4x the average deal size) prior to receiving delayed 2022 comp plans. The deal counts as a 2022 deal. On last years comp plan it would’ve paid out at 10%. This year it pays out at a measly 4%.
