A recruiter just told me about a sales job that pays OTE between $90k and $150k. That range is so wide it makes me nervous. I want to know what most people on the team are actually taking home. How do I ask about that without sounding like I only care about the money? I just need to know if the $150k is even possible or if $90k is the real number.

I worked a sales job advertised the same and take home about $80,000 in a leadership position

I always tend to assume that the lower end of the range is more reasonable. Or else it wouldn't be included. And as far as sounding like it's all about the money, what's wrong with that? You're working for money, and it's not like it's coming out of their pocket.
