Hi women in tech, I have a question for those of you in the sales capacity or any role that involves commission payout. Do you find your commission checks are often inaccurate? This is more for research purposes

No. Does your company not provide a portal to check or a commission statement?

I have worked in comissions/comp analytics, as a Sales rep its important to track all of your deals and understand how ur comission is calculated and question it immediately if you think there might be a mistake.

A lot of systems have manual processes or even parts of payroll or plan assignments are manual and this causes errors.

Even the largest companies in the world make mistakes on comissions so its always OK to question things because it could just be system or human error.

I worked as a commission analyst in a startup early in my career. I had zero training and our processes were super manual so I made tons of mistakes. I would eventually catch them and fix them in future commission checks.
Your commission should be accurate and easy to understand. If it’s not, always flag this to your manager/higher ups .

Just out of curiosity are you guys working with US based companies? Or Australia?

For example in California if you quit your sales job in the middle of a quarter we have to prorate and pay your bonus legally.

If you quit in NY you aren't entitled to anything without having to sue for it.

For the majority of employees in the US, the laws do not protect your compensation. The laws do not exist or are bare minimum is what I meant by relaxed.

Accepted an offer of employment with a mid-sized firm to begin in a couple of months. I’ve always wanted to shoot for big law but haven’t had the opportunity thus far. Overall, I accepted because I didn’t want to take the opportunity for granted in addition to the uncertainty with hiring due to covid. Would it be an issue to shoot for a big law opportunity in the interim? I know how this looks and sounds, so I definitely don’t want to set a precedent that I deal in bad faith.

Hey! My company is giving me a new title (previously: Senior PMM, new: Global Lead of product marketing). The roles are very similar with no material change of responsibilities. it’s the result of a re-org. Also, I’ve been deemed a high performer and approaching my 1 yr review.

In any case, as I’m waiting on the official letter, they have been very vague that they’re will be a compensation increase. In fact, this hasn’t been presented as a promotion. How would you approach this conversation?

I received a job offer for a PM position with a base of $125K and a 10% bonus, fully remote and ok benefits. The parental leave is pretty bad, just FMLA and STD/LTD so the most I’d get is 60% of my salary for 12 weeks. I’ve cancelled most of my interviews except for one where the pay is $135K, 20% bonus, hybrid schedule, good benefits and 16 weeks fully paid parental leave. I’d like to start my family in a year or two - is it better to take the remote gig or the hybrid role with full paid leave?
