If given these two options which one would you choose? Take a role with a lower base and strong accelerators or a higher base with capped upside. I've been going back and forth, can't decide.

It would depend on the product, company branding and market fit. I’d take the lower base with strong accelerators over a capped upside if it’s a strong product, with a known brand and a strong market fit.

ResQ Ltd. is hiring for an Inside Sales Account Executive role and a Field Account Executive in Toronto. If you know anyone who has done tech, hospitality, or restaurant sales please reach out to connect!

Looking for some advice on a couple of offers I have.

The first offer is for an Account Executive position at a smaller company with a base of $50k and another $20k in OTE.

The second offer is for a BDR position at a larger and faster growing company with a base of $60k and another $20k in OTE. Also some stock options but they aren’t public yet.

I have 2 YOE as a BDR and think I could succeed in either position. Both have hybrid work set ups. Any thoughts or advice is appreciated! Thanks.
