Not sure.

That wasn't the case for me as an SDR or new AE.

Not at my company

Had offers for Google, AWS, Cloudflare and they paid 3, 3 , and 2 months OTE during ramp respectively. So top tier tech firms would for sure pay OTE.

8 months OTE ramp up? Ok being offered a 6 month unrecoverable draw. What do you think?

In enterprise. It doesn’t incentivize the rep well if they’re chasing the lowest hanging fruit because they need money. You want reps chasing big deals and a draw for 3-6 months will allow them to focus on learning the product and building a strong pipeline.

It's not normal but I would only accept jobs with companies that do.

It depends. It's referred to as a "non-recoverable draw", and it usually is good for 3 months. A "recoverable draw" is pretty much a zero interest loan - you have to pay it back when the commissions start to flow.

Yes. It's also known as a "commission guarantee"

No, it’s something I’ve always had to negotiate in during the hiring process
