I've been at my company for two years and they now want to raise my quota by 30%, but they said they wouldn't be increasing my base salary. However, my variable pay would go up to compensate. Is it typical to boost someone's quota without adjusting their base salary? Is it worth fighting for an increase in base pay?

Common? Yes. Worth fighting? Eh….This is where you decide if what you’re selling has actual value. If the team hasn’t been hitting quota then this is a big deal. If everyone is crushing quota then it’s the company trying to mitigate how much they’re paying out and is common.

Yeah I agree with the above, if you are confident you’ll make the additional quota this is functionally a raise. If not then yeah this is bullshit

Very common. Quotas also went up by that amount at several SAP partners this year with no change in base.

Sometime I feel, orgs like Infosys Tata Consultancy Accenture and similar service based paying peanuts to employees and giving Fat paychecks to CEO's,, should be absconded by every other new joiner, So that they would stop giving 3-4 lpa and instead come in the range of 5-6lpa.

I also want to urge to all employees that its high time to go for bigger number and switch, why should only ceo, and top leadership have all the fun, each and everyone of us deserve better lifestyle

I cleared the Interview for SDET in Oracle today in the Manager discussion, He asked about the Expectations and I told 25 lpa, He said we cant pay that much as Your current is 14.7.
I said I can be flexible and minimum i can go for is 22 Lpa as i have another offer of 25 but considering oracle brand value i am ready to go settle but he said I can't offer you this much and left the zoom call. So How much oracle is offering for SDET of 8 Years of Experience?

I’m considering a lateral move. New firm is offering a full bonus for pro-rated hours, which is nice but I doubt I’ll hit hours due to HR/admin onboarding work, ramp up, coming on in the middle of deals, etc. Any chance I can negotiate for a guaranteed bonus regardless of hours or is that unreasonable? I don’t want to annoy the new firm but I want to at least be made whole.
