Hello All,
Can someone help me decide between following companies:

Bentley Systems : 21.30 Fixed
TietoEvry : 18.90 Fixed

YOE : 5 Years
Tech : Automation QA, Selenium, C#

In my organization, most with my role are commission based. I make a set salary due to the firm I work for as an account manager/ coordinator for clients… I coordinate their enrollments, working with each groups HR department as to benefits and payroll purposes, and schedule our benefit counselors accordingly. I am finding that in most cases where I compare the voluntary benefits industry, I might be underpaid. What is an appropriate base salary for a position in which commission is replaced?
