While mathematically you could make this argument. Making over 100K is life changing compared to 40K.

Also, you're incorrectly using "realistically earning". They are realistically earning what they are actually earning. It is in your thought-experiment where they are earning 40-50k. That is artificially earning, not realistically earning.

Not really…what are the comparable jobs that pay 40-50K but allow you to get up to 100-120K with overtime?

I am considering an offer for an AE role (UK-LDN) where the base is £42k & OTE is £70k.

I’ve tried to counter offer but they said I’m currently maxing the salary band (L4). This role is exciting as I’d be the first UK employee, doing the full sales cycle & more but I had the same base and ote as an SDR. Is it too low? Do I take it?
