2 - I love the idea of traveling once per month and high base.

I used to travel every week and now nothing. It’s nice to have once a month travel

2. Travel once a week isn’t a big deal.

Bonuses aren’t guaranteed but base salary is. I think once a month travel is a nice way to get some free points without getting Sunday scaries

like

2 if the travel is *actually* once/mo. That doesn’t seem too difficult. Plus more money

like

#1. With bonus, ~ equals #2 on base. The $8k bonus on #2 is not worth not being remote.

It’s probably close to $1k a month net difference SC2.

Leaning 2, but what about the rest of the month? If it is remote 75% and travel 25%, that's great. If it is in-office 75% and travel 25%, then it isnt so great amd may not be worth it.

rest of the month is full remote, no office.

Curious what role is this for and where? Going as a senior?

change management/communications Senior

Travel once a month to where and for how long?

That’s actually really easy. Travel only one day and back to ATL? It’s a no brainer

Offer 2

With 1, You don’t know what you’re bonus will actually be. 10% is likely the range.

With offer 2, now that I know you’re talking about MITRE, the travel will likely be to an awesome place for an awesome reason.

I currently work at an international law firm (4 years) and recently accepted an offer to go in house. The main attorney I support did not take the news well and was very angry with me.

Looking for referrals for a Technical Sales Executive position that is Remote (USA), possibly in the industrial sector. Last year I made $109k at AT&T so I'm hoping to at least stay in the same ball park but want a change. I have lots of experience selling IT/telecom, but I also have a Mechanical Engineering background so I'm a good fit for a wide range of technical sales. I have been thinking a role in the industrial sector with a longer sales cycle may be a good fit, can travel up to 25%
