Definitely not salesforce
Only 20% of Of AE’s make quota at Salesforce?

MSFT & Sales Force
Microsoft normally has a higher base salary with lower commissions. Commissions are payed quarterly with some stock given each year (based on working there 5 years ago).
Salesforce salary is around $125-145, with OTE commissions equal to salary. This is more the standard with software companies.
Depends on what “best” means. Want to ride it out to retirement? Salesforce is great! Want to retire early? Smaller companies that incentivize AEs to find new business with a less mature product and offer stock. That’a the other version of best. Salesforce = Sandals vacation, all inclusive fun in the sun. Smaller companies = Wingsuiting in New Zealand
50-50 salary vs variable, with 4-5x OTE as your annualized ARR quota target. I’d say this is the plan more or less for 4/5 SaaS companies.
