Hi there, I got an offer for an early stage cyber security saas startup in Canada and they offered me 130k base and 10-15% commissions which they estimated at 160-240k additional a year. They only have 1 sales person at the moment and I would be 2nd and they are hiring for 3 more. I’ve always been on a 50:50 model and never done the % of revenue. Average deal size is 40k. I got 12 yoe in enterprise tech sales. No stock options upfront but potentially after the first 3 months. Good deal?

I referred someone for a role at my previous company. I left about one month after that person started and had made sure to check with HR I’d still be eligible for the referral fee before I left. 2 months later, still no referral fee, so emailed them and they’re now saying “oops our bad but you’ve left the company so you’re not eligible” even though I have written confirmation of them saying “leaving the company won’t affect you receiving the referral fee”.
