I am considering an offer for an AE role (UK-LDN) where the base is £42k & OTE is £70k. The Regional GM has verbally promised to move it up to £50k base if I perform well during the probationary period, but I can’t have it in writing on the contract. I’ve tried to counter offer but they said I’m currently maxing the salary band (L4). This role is exciting as I’d be the first UK employee, doing the full sales cycle & more but I had the same base and ote as an SDR. Is it too low? Do I take it?

Verbal offers mean nothing!!

If 70k is definitely too low for you, look for something else
There is a high chance you will not get this pay bump in the first year.

That's way too low! I don't care how exciting the opportunity is, don't devalue your worth! And the fact that they're not willing to put their promise in writing is a big red flag. I'd pass. You'll find something better that will pay you what you're worth.

Thanks so much for replying. Are you all UK based too and not just surprised because of the pay difference between UK/US?

I agree! The pay is very low! But also the question is how long do you look for a job? Because if this is the only offer at the moment, I might take it and keep looking for other opportunities. I agree the market is in terrible shape, and many companies have paused their hiring process. But I am sure you will feel calmer to keep looking if you will have a job. So I would accept the offer but keep actively looking for the next one. But if you are not financially stressed so I would pass as the salary is very low.

Always put everything in writing. I always see it as a red flag if they don't want it to be included in the contract.

Still haven’t heard back from the HR.

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?
