I'm interviewing for a business development role and even though the hiring manager explained the bonus format to me (how it's tied to the sales targets), I feel that I'm not clear on the compensation structure. Now I have to get back to them regarding my expected salary. Could anyone explain how compensation works in BD and sales role. Do you have a fixed component? Is it just the bonus that is dependent on the targets? How can I figure out what kind of bonus I can expect?

Every BD role varies by company, targets are different, comp plan is different. So it’s hard to provide advice. Can they give you a salary range? Some BDR OTE is 80k while some is 130k

Yeah I’ve seen that before! Can always vary org to org. Typically SDR<BDR<AE and AM. But all can vary. AE/ESE typically work and close new business, AM manage existing business

What did they tell you

Hi all. Thanks for your suggestions on seeking further clarity on the compensation. I reached out to the HR and was able to get complete clarity. However, now I'm confused with the salary negotiations. They are quoting £50K base salary for an Account development representative. Is that a usual range or is it too low? The OTE is capped at £32K/annum. I have 4 years of relevant product experience, but in non-BD role.

Does anyone know if this is normal? I joined a vault 100 firm in September last year. The firm put me on tier 7. In January I had the associate review and everything was normal. After a couple of weeks, I got the call from the hiring partner telling my bonus and new salary (because of the firm-wide salary increase). I realized I still get paid as a 7 year associate. The partner said because I joined the firm later in the year, it’s normal not to advance in the next year. Is it? Thanks!
