Does anyone actually go by OTE when considering a job? If the markets rough you may not be able to attain that so having a base like 45k but an OTE of 77k is lame to me. I keep getting these types of offers and I’m sick of it. I negotiate but they say since I only have 3 YOE I’m not eligible…

No, I think a lot of those OTE numbers are pretty much just bait. I would never take on a job with the expectation that I would be making that much on the regular. They're intentionally set at a high number to make you think it's a good deal.

Yes. But I only got for positions with OTE above 150k which is very different than OTE at 77k

I’m only considered for lower level positions but I’m pushing for an AE role next. This one I was tapped for a LL position.

Should I negotiate without any competing offers?

Company: Walmart Tech Labs
Location: Hoboken
Base: 150k
Bonus: 24k (16%)
RSU: 25k / year for 3 years

Offered TC: 180k
YOE: 3

I initially thought TC was 199k, but it’s actually 180k. Should I say something like “I was expecting 220. Is there anything you can do like a sign on bonus/raise base a bit to help get to 220?” To see if they can bump it up a bit?

I just don’t want to negotiate and get the offer rescinded.
