Currently going through some negations on an internal role. I’m currently at 88k and they offered me 100k for a position that requires a lot more work.

They stated 120k+ is extremely high for that role. What do you guys think? Playing the game?

I started in my first SDR position in a small SaaS start up few months ago. I am the only SDR and their first ever.
The base salary is ok but I haven’t received any commission structure up to this day.
I book an average of 3-5 demos per week. People always show up, but the thing that worries me is that I do not have a way to track how many meetings I book in our CRM,and to be honest I feel like I didn’t get the best training overall. Should I start looking somewhere else? Thoughts?

Thanks
