Would you rather a 50/50 split or 60/40 split?

OTE $120,000, uncapped

50/50 every time because I know I’m hitting accelerators.

like

The company offered me 50/50 split. I countered with a 60/40 with the same OTE. It’s uncapped commission in either scenario, and the structure percentage won’t change. I personally like the “guaranteed” income, hence why I countered 60/40

like

Let me add this caveat into the mix. What if its a team-based comp plan with shared quota and aggressive accelerators? Then what would make more sense still 50/50 or would 60/40 be the better option here?

like

Agreed, plus companies that do higher base tend to have overall worse commissions from my experience

70/30 is best overall for a long term contract

60/40 is preferable as long as that 40 is truly uncapped

Which company would you join?

I currently work in Sales with the intention of moving over to marketing in the near future. I received two offers for BDR/SDR roles from
Sprout Social and Gong. Both salaries are around the same (Gong - base 63k + anticipated $25k in commission, Sprout - 55k base + anticipated $25k in commission).

I like both companies’ software and it extremely hard to decide which position will get me into marketing faster as it is not a traditional BDR path to take.

Help!

I heard that internal candidates have much lower salary ranges for promotions / transferring teams. So much so that some people will leave the company a year just to come back to a more competitive offer.

I am in the running for a 2 band level promotion - if / when it gets to salary discussions, should I still try to negotiate? What are peoples thoughts? I would be going from an entry level role for 1 year to a senior role, but I still want a fair compensation compared to other hires.
