I’m looking at a $160k OTE offer in Austin, Texas, and I genuinely can't tell if that's a killer salary or just middle-of-the-pack for the local market. I’d be moving from Ohio, but the cost of housing in Texas has me stressing over whether a $75k base is going to stretch as much as I think it will. For anyone living and selling in Austin, what does it actually take to live comfortably there?

$150k OTE should be fine. Keep in mind that it is always hot and PEC (electric) is very expensive. Also water is pulled from the lake and drought is common- also expensive. The worst part is necessarily affordability and housing availability anymore- it’s the traffic! Infrastructure is horrible. All tolls and 35 has been under construction for at least 75 years. No exaggeration!
Plus side- great food options, heb, and good schools in the NW and NE suburbs.

Asking for market comparison on a regional sales director role in SaaS.

Public company, 8-10 direct reports and a $25M+ territory.

Was curious what is considered market and above market. Base is currently $150k with a $175k variable at $325k. Would love y’alls help.

Company on track for 22 goals. Traditionally included 2% profit sharing at YE, this year however comes with a unique caveat.

The CEO added a qualifier, to be eligible for the payout one must agree to and sign a binding arbitration agreement. In the CEOs email to staff he indicates these agreements are standard in most companies and typically required for new hires.

I’m curious to get insight from others. Is this standard practice and generally required for new hires? Something feels off.
