Just got an offer for an SE role for $150K OTE and $100K RSUs over 4 years (no signing bonus). I have 4 YOE in consulting. Is this a competitive offer? I have some pre-sales experience but not a ton. I live in a HCOL city.

I'd call that a competitive offer. There are probably a few better ones out there but they would be difficult to come by.

I m in my current role, first job, for about 5 months now but where i live now is about 6 hours flight away from my family. I recently got an offer for a company in my home town. Pay is only 5K more (already negotiated, that’s their final offer) but better title: associate consultant. Is it okay to leave my current role this early? Any tips to have quitting conversation? Do you think offers will be higher with 1 YOE than 5 months experience?

Switching from commission to salary-only.

I’m considering a less sales-oriented role (supporting some post-sales). It doesn’t pay commission, ie. will have a higher base but less overall earning potential.

Would you consider this? What reduction in cash should be expected going from a variable to fixed compensation? For example, if you made $200k today, would it be realistic to ask/expect $180k (10% cut) + equity to make up the difference?
