Anyone have experience working in sales for a startup? What are things to consider? Got a recruiter contacting me about an open position very similar to what I do now, at a startup.

Thoughts on this offer? $145K base + 10% bonus + $5K signing (TC year 1: $165K). No stock. No RRSP matching. Role is BizOps Senior Manager (IC). Industry is Insurance. Is it too low? Thanks.
