My company is 12-15% depending on product and 20-25% on multipliers for AEs.

For SEs, we work on a team based commission number (we get paid for every deal that the team works). Our rates are 0.2-0.7% with multipliers bring us up to 0.3-1.4%.

AEs individual goals avg to $1.2m. There are 14 AEs.
SE team goal is about $12m.

We get 10% if we hit 70% of target and 5% if below 70% of target.

We're at around 19% before hitting our annual goal. Things escalate from there.

We have a fixed range of 15%-25% before hitting our annula goal. Another 10% increase if we hit our target.

Are the. % discussed here of your individual base salary or the % of your quota that you need to hit? For example, 12-15% of a Base of 80K or 12-15% of annual Quota of 1M?

That's fantastic. In my industrial sales field, it's a % of your base in terms of the quota you hit. So if you hit your quota, you get 25% of your base. And not always will you hit your quota. Tech sales is quite good in that regards.

I feel like I don't fit in with the upper middle class culture of accounting sometimes. I come from a lower middle class family, and it's hard to relate to the things my coworkers talk about - fancy houses, fancy cars, new gadgets that they are getting. I never grew up with those things, so I'm a little lost or it just don't seem that important to me. Perhaps I'm being judgemental, but I don't mean to be, it seems like we just have different priorities. Can anyone relate or have advise?

My boyfriend and I make 200K combined and live in NJ. We have $1000 in monthly car payments combined. That’s all we owe. Our credit scores are in the 800s. We have 50K to put down on a home. We have done the math and I know we can afford much more but he doesn’t want to buy more than a 400K home. I’m almost positive we can afford 500K and be more than ok. But then he starts to talk about how much kids cost and how we will be house poor and we won’t be able to afford kids. 🤔 Am I insane??

Any one know of pay difference between the two, responsibilities/expectations, how they are viewed in the org itself?
I understand they are different but in my job today, I handle both roles so can go in either direction.
Appreciate any input.
