My fiancé got approached for a Sales Executive Role at Instacart. Anyone have any insight into the company, job security, culture etc? They mentioned 100k base, 40-60% variable comp and an undisclosed equity grant. She’s already making 130k in a very secure job, so we are thinking no, but want to do our homework first.

I have no info on Instacart, but I’d have a tough time trading in $130k (assuming that’s base?) and a secure job for less guaranteed pay.

I’d want to know what actual variable comp has been the past 3-5 years for people in this role. In my experience they’ll tell you what the top earners get in variable pay to oversell what you “could” make.

Don’t have much meaningful to add, besides making sure you/her would be comfortable if that variable pay ended up being 0%, which is rare but could happen.

You pretty much laid out all of our concerns. She’s doing great for her YOE (4), and with the way the market/economy is looking it’s not the time to take this kind of risk. Just wanted a sanity check. Thanks!

I love it here, but part of that is naturally dependent on the team. If $130k is her total comp I'd be shocked if she came in under that based on what you've said, but I'm in partnerships, not sales.

It really comes down to what she does/doesn't like about her job and how Instacart stacks up, but all you've mentioned is compensation.

I have a question, I got a contract role through a recruiter. Initially the recruiter offered the hourly pay rate which was the minimum in my range. Now I got an offer from the company. Now without me asking her she increased the hourly wage to the maximum range I asked. Which makes me doubt if the company increased it or she knew the rate all along but gave me the lower rate ?
