It doesn't matter what you write. They offer you a standard cohort salary and your bonus is how they comp you for differentiated performance.

Then, should I just write market??

What you write for salary does matter as that's your starting point for salary negotiations.

Higher amounts are fine as long as it's within a reasonable range and you can back it up. For example you can say that Big 4 salaries for TAS seniors range between $82-$90K on Glassdoor in a particular city. Because of your skills/experience you can say your target $88K. That's just a general example.

I just put “market rate” and when asked, I asked them what the budgeted salary range was. That way I wasn’t negotiating against myself.

Also how many years of experience do you have? I know people with 2 years being hired for senior roles.

I would definitely do that! I am applying as an associate.

SC1: 100K
SC2: 105K
SC3: 110K

If you’re HCOL

No those are the starting salaries if you were to get hired at that level. It does not reflect what your raise would be from SC1 to SC2 per say.

what COL/location?

also should consider that pwc does 3 years of associate before senior

like

A2s in FDD make around $75k (depending on location). There is no negotiation as we’re in a cohort model. This may go up in the next month or so when PwC re-aligns compensation with “market”, but who knows...

What location is this?

Fellow enterprise tech sales fish, I’m interested to hear your perspective. I’ve been in a rut lately and seriously considering leaving sales. I think it’s primarily fueled by one thing:
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%.

How do you/have you navigated your way through and out of these situations?

I had two rounds of discussion (more than a month ago) and the recruiter informed me that they’ll be scheduling the HR discussion and then be rolling out the offer.

It has been two weeks now and I haven’t heard from the recruiter nor has my HR discussion been scheduled.

The recruiter does not answer my calls or reply to e-mails.

I’m a new CSM (9 months) and I work at a company that doesn’t invest much in its CSM team. I’ve been struggling because as time goes on I feel more and more like a token hire. We have no play book/structure, no CSM tool and I’m current organizing all 95 of my clients on spreadsheets while also handling presales trials with a salary under 50k.

Long story short: I’m searching for mentorship or to be pointed in the direction of a good course so I can help the clients I do have while I’m here

I would love some suggestions on transitioning and career paths.

I gave 15+ years in healthcare claims (payer side, physician/facility side) and revenue cycle management. I’m burnt out and want to transition away from revenue cycle mgmt.

I only have my Associates degree and would currently need to take a job that is remote with no/minimal phone responsibilities. What roles do you recommend that would allow me to transition my skills while maintaining a minimum salary of 50k?
