Sales Engineer OTE's??

I'm hiring some SE's and I'm not sure what salary range should be. Company is fast growing startup, cybersecurity, well funded, etc.


Also have this anonymous survey just in case someone doesn't want to answer:

Any help would be appreciated!

Experienced enterprise SEs are getting 175-250 from what I’ve seen lately

There are very few of them in here, btw.

Figured someone would perhaps know. I'm pretty blind and didn't realize until I needed to hire one. My SE manager doesn't know either because the market has shifted so much in the last couple of years.

I frequently discuss outside opportunities with my SE. We are Mid Market and both consider ourselves underpaid. He makes 150k OTE, I make 140k. He said in looking for new jobs he uses AE OTE as a rough estimate since there’s way more info on that out there.

There's been a huge bump in OTE over the last couple of years which totally threw us for planning. Some Sr. SE's demanding $300K OTE or something close to it. For MM AE, depends on what you're selling and where you are, but I'd say fair to assume $150-200K OTE. To me - that's market.

The ones I’ve worked with the salary had ranged as low as $50k-$150k. Depends on the type of solution you are working and always other variables like APIs and other integrations

In my experience SE’s and AE’s tend to be fairly similar on OTE. HOWEVER, a really good AE can crush an SE’s ote. And se doesn’t have a ton of control over their ote, at least not to the same extent an AE does

I would think pretty inline with SR AEs?
