I’m a recent energy lateral and got offers at the firms I applied at

In their intro offer they usually won’t offer a signing bonus, but it has been easy to get a guaranteed EOY bonus and/or a signing bonus

Grad year? Project Development will have greater chance than M&A. What kind of energy lateral?

It’s possible, but very few firms will say they are offering bonuses up front in this market. There are plenty of top of the market firms in Texas that we’ve talked to that would look at an energy lateral, but most talk about bonuses as “we wouldn’t count it out” not “it guaranteed”. Happy to DM about a few firms if interested.

Curious what the base and commission structure is for inside sales and associate director of sales in biotech (also anyone else who wants to share pls put industry). Paid hourly or salary? At the biotech company I work at avg inside sales is $62,632 with a $3500 per quarter cap. Commission structure is % based on sales quota reached vs capped (not a direct % of sales). I’m underpaid at $53000 with $3500 cap per quarter.
