Did this with my current shop. They asked me to provide documentation of my previous year’s bonus (this was in NY before it became illegal to ask about comp) and they bought me out of that amount, scaled up to be proportionate with my new company’s base/bonus breakdown. The buyout became a clause in my employment contract as well

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've been exploring exit opportunities for a few months and still holding out for the right opportunity.

They do the whole "your background and expertise is exactly what we're looking for" then turn around and offer a salary range that is 20k below my current level. My resume clearly says I've got 10yrs experience and an MBA. I **don't think* I should be getting offers of 80k-100k
