Looking for some sales career advice - I am currently working for an organization that sells IT services. I’ve been here for a couple of years and spent my first year cold calling and my second year doing account management and sales. I feel like I have a low base of $50K, with an OTE of 110 however, I expect to meet closer to the 130 to 140 mark. I now have an offer for 65K OTE of 65K from a startup and it would be completely remote and is offering equity. Any advice is appreciated😊

Message me and let’s talk. Pretty low OTE even with equity.

Start ups are extremely risky, I’ve done 3. None of them paid off, but I never took a pay cut in OTE and actually made a little more in OTE.

I think I missed typed my previous message… I am making 50 on a 110 total OTE. I am currently on target to exceed my OTE and make 135K. The position at the start up would be 65 base with 130 total OTE. My current company is also made some pretty large changes to the commission structure which would take away at least $50,000 out of my pocket over the next 2 to 3 years. That being said, I obviously know the products and services I am selling now and have a fantastic relationship with my current boss

It sounds like you wouldn’t be losing much with a shit ton to possibly gain 🤷🏻‍♂️ go to the start up

like

If you’re that confident go straight commission and make double

Not quite sure you outlined the offer correctly? “65k OTE of 65k”

I personally love remote work. However, not everyone does. So are you a remote worker or I’d like to go to the office worker?

Thinking of switching from sales to a sales engineering role. Biggest difference is going to be higher base (plus bonus) with no commission or quota to carry. Curious as to what is a fair salary in todays climate. We’re a series C fintech company based in NYC. I’m being considered for the role because I’m one of the strongest presenters on the team. It will still be in individual contributor role with supposed path to leadership. Curious the range as well as equity to expect/ask for.
