I was having lunch with a friend who recently took on a new job, and he shared how the company offered him a signing bonus that really sweetened the deal. It got me thinking about how often people overlook these bonuses in salary negotiations. They can make a significant difference in overall compensation! Have you ever considered a signing bonus when discussing salary? What was your approach?

I started in my first SDR position in a small SaaS start up few months ago. I am the only SDR and their first ever.
The base salary is ok but I haven’t received any commission structure up to this day.
I book an average of 3-5 demos per week. People always show up, but the thing that worries me is that I do not have a way to track how many meetings I book in our CRM,and to be honest I feel like I didn’t get the best training overall. Should I start looking somewhere else? Thoughts?

Thanks
