Hello, I recently was reached out to by an in-house recruiter at a similar but slightly different company than the one I currently work for. The recruiter provided a base range and an OTE range. The lower end of that range is what I am currently making. The higher end of that range is almost 200k more than my current comp. The role is almost identical. I wasn’t looking to move, but that higher end range would set my family up very nicely for our goals. But I am happy at my current company. Help?

Take a shot- you can go through the process and decide once you have an offer, not just a message from a recruiter.

As said before, go through the process. Nothing wrong with being rewarded for what you do. Caution though, the grass isn’t always greener on the other side. You’ll interview with the hiring manager for sure but I would ask to talk to PREVIOUS employees of the manager who are will to talk openly about his/her leadership style and why they are not under him/her anymore. I got burned moving to a dream job, but the AVP was a passive/aggressive narcissist who burned through teams because everyone hated him. Lesson learned.

Definitely met with current and ex-employees. All seems to check out.

I have just built a massive sales org at my current company- hired 12 AEs/Sales managers, etc. And literally built the org from ground up, it’s a profit machine now. I have some sentimental ties that’s making it hard to leave. (My human is showing 🙈)

It never hurts to find out more. At the very least, you'll get some more experience interviewing. But man...$200k more than what you're currently making? That's life-changing.

Update: I am on the final meeting. I met with every SVP/ Cxo and the team I’d be managing (11 interviews) and my final meeting is Friday and I have to present my 30/60/90 plan. It’s between me and another candidate.

The comp is base + 100% back end bonus. Plus very large signing bonus and large preferred stock in company.

Keep the mindset that you like where you are at but are open to earning more. Go through the process but be cautiously optimistic. Also, talk to your boss and see if your current company can bump up you pay/incentives based on this new information. Good luck!

Is this a startup? You have to research the company finances. It's a hot market so not surprising. I'd also questions around base range and how the ote is structured

Sounds like the company is well funded and it's a great opportunity.

Uhm …. Care to share what company this is?

I would also suggest going through with the interview process to determine if the company could be a great fit for you. If you get an offer, you might be able to use it to negotiate for a higher salary at your current company. It most likely wouldn't be a 200k increase if they provide a counter offer, but you could reach a comfortable agreement.
