What’s a good salary range for senior-level pre-sales leadership position for pre-ipo start ups? The title is senior manager but directly reports to the head of sales for that vertical. I assume it’s similar to director positions.

There's a number of factors that would need to be understood first, but an OTE of around $175-200 is what I'd expect in a role like this, given that it's a senior role. Depending on the market, your experience, and the company pace towards IPO, it could be a little lower or a lot higher. I'd expect some company stock as well. Are you moving up in the company or moving to a new one? Is the pre-sales team in place or are you building it. Going to a new company, especially now, is a risk and they should compensate you accordingly. Similarly, building a team is a lot of work and the comp plan should reflect that. Good luck!

175-200 OTE seems low. I'm making they with barely a few years of SE exp

Hi Fishes,

I received an offer (28 Lakhs + 3.9 Lakhs incentive) from Novartis for Sr Project Manager yesterday. This was just 13.6% more than my current earnings as Project Manager. I've given the reasons why I deserve at least 30% to HR. In response to that, HR has sent 2nd offer i.e. 29 Lakhs + 4 Lakhs incentive + 50k sign-on bonus. The 2nd offer is just 18.2% higher than my current earnings. Need your suggestion, if I could still negotiate with HR to finalize deal by asking for 25% hike?
