Advice needed.
PDM in tech with 10 yrs IT channel experience. Sole NA distribution owner managing TD SYNNEX, Pax8, and Ingram after layoffs removed my boss, VP, and only teammate. Comp is ~$80k OTE, capped, and designed for an IC role. Company is PE-backed, cutting execs, reducing MDF, targeting a 2028 exit. Worth pushing for comp re-leveling (base vs OTE), or is this a signal to leave?

Research market comps and ask for releveling if it makes sense. If they push back, that is the signal to start looking. No sense in high-level risk without the high-level pay.

It depends. Shifts in operations can mean a refocusing based on market conditions. It can calso be a death knell.

Walgreens used to own and operate significant properties around restaurants and food service. They fired bosses, laid off workers, and eventually sold food-based locations to refocus on drugs; leaving at the time of operational shift would have been a mistake in that case.

More recently, Big Lots fired bosses, laid off employees, and sold off locations. They are now out of business. Leaving at the time of operational shift would have been a solid career choice in this case.
