hey all,
recently received an offer from a company looking to expand into North America. they're primarily based out of EMEA and if I join them I'd be part of the founding sales team for the americas. they're a profitable company, have a decent product-market fit for the industry they're in. they aren't meeting my salary expectations but mentioned they'll provide a larger upside on year 1 through the variable comp. I'm having a hard time understanding what the total on target earnings is with what they provided, what are some questions I could ask as part of my response and what are your overall thoughts on the breakdown below?
Year 1
Base salary: 80k
150k to 250k: 7.5%
250k and more: 10%
Target: 250k
Year 2 (if previous year target is met)
Base salary: 90k
200k à 400k : 5%
400k et + : 10%
Target: 400k
Year 3 (if previous year target is met)
Base salary: 100k
250k à 500k : 5%
500k et + : 10%
Target: 500k
