I've always used "OTE" to describe my base + variable, but many in this bowl seem to refer only to their variable. Which is correct?

OTE by far

I use it as base + variable too.

You are correct.

For me, OTE is base + variable.

I just left my pre-seed startup that was running out of cash (we made $100,000 in revenue this year, and sunk $1m in costs). I was making $40,000 as a developer (plus 20k stock options at $1/share per year) and they refused to pay me any more money. I have 17,000 vested stock options, total number of shares at the time of my contract was 4million. I’m a bit confused about share dilution and if it’s worth it for me to buy some of my stock options… thanks in adv!
