Hey folks, I’m at a bit of a crossroads and would love some advice. I’ve been working as an SDET for 1.5 years now, and my current organization is will give me a raise of at least 30% and I’m looking to transition into an SDE role, and I’ve been considering making a job switch to facilitate that.I know switching jobs can sometimes result in a higher salary hike compared to staying, but with the raise I’m being offered, I’m not sure which option is better financially and career-wise.

In my organization, most with my role are commission based. I make a set salary due to the firm I work for as an account manager/ coordinator for clients… I coordinate their enrollments, working with each groups HR department as to benefits and payroll purposes, and schedule our benefit counselors accordingly. I am finding that in most cases where I compare the voluntary benefits industry, I might be underpaid. What is an appropriate base salary for a position in which commission is replaced?

This isn’t something my company typically offers and would greatly change the scope of my role. Has anyone ever taken on a role like this? If so, were you able to negotiate a percentage of the consulting fee? Or was it a bump in salary during the project?
