What’s the going OTE for an enterprise software pre-sales engineer/architect these days for 10+ years of experience? Looking around at different opps and not getting any pushback from asking for $250k OTE even though my current employer believes $230k is the high end for this level. 🤷🏻‍♂️

10 YOE you would be looking at a Principal SE position, or whatever the company’s more senior position is called.

As a principal, 250k OTE would be my minimum.

Most SE’s are paid on a 70/30 split, so I would be asking for 175k base, 75k commission + equity.

Just wondering if I should push my resume as far as possible and try to snag an AE role or take my time in a new industry and start from the bottom.

Not a sales based question but have a second interview for TierPoint Inc. they are an IT company and this is a manager of operations role. Their clients have some big names but I work for a global company that’s massive.
