I’m looking at two SDR roles that both push the uncapped commission angle, but they aren't giving me much to go on. Is this usually just a way to distract from a mediocre base pay? I don't want to chase a huge number if the quota is impossible to hit. What are the main things I should be looking for to see if the earning potential is actually legit?

Realistic quota is the most important thing to figure out. Let’s face it, if the commission isn’t limited, the base won’t be great. Not necessarily a huge issue, but you have to make sure it fits what you are looking for.

I am always sceptical of uncapped commission without data. I look for quota attainment rates, average earnings, and ramp time. If they cannot answer clearly, I assume the upside is theoretical, not realistic.
