I’m an Account Manager and was signed on at 95k base,120k OTE (wound up making 140k year 1). I didn’t get a raise after attaining 150% quota but did get a 17k bonus… I’m already at 60% attainment in year 2 after quota was raised 120%.

Question: assuming I exceed quota in year two - how do I go about pushing for a raise? And if it’s not given, do I give an ultimatum or take my skills elsewhere? I’m extremely happy with WLB, culture, etc… so it would really hurt to leave.

Damn a 17k bonus is amazing, I know it’s not split up monthly like a raise but that’s certainly a lot of money. Do the math that’s actually 12% of your income. I would ask for a raise Bc you deserve it, but wouldn’t leave unless you can find a job making an absurd amount more since you’re so happy there already. But money isn’t everything! Seems like you already have the best of both worlds

Yeah - it would be really hard to leave but my org is soooo flat. I want to eventually move into a management position (and looking to make a deal more than I am right now)… but don’t want to rush it. I’ve learned “the grass is not always greener” already.

Thanks for the advice!
