Too damn low for sure.

Following along and would love to hear the journeys some of you with 6 figure base salaries took to get there :)
The best way to grow your base salary is to switch companies. I was at a company for 3 years and my base went from $65k to $79k. I recently moved companies to the same title, selling to same size companies and my base is now over $100k.
Producing consistent results and making the jump to different companies. The time it will take you to get to 100k+ base salary working for the same company is so much longer than if you jump ship one or two … or three times. Gotta play the game.
Interested to know if the $200k+ ers are sellers or managers. I don't know any sellers in the UK on £150k+ base but maybe I don't know the right sellers ;)
$200k ers please upvote if you're a sales leader and downvote if you're a seller.

I don’t know any individual contributors that have base salaries that high. Highest from my experience is around 120-160k base.

100% Commish? Living life on the edge there 🙌
Financial services is a lot different than software.
I’m in India and it is widely different, our pay scales. I’m curioto hear from folks outside of the US and UK, how stark is the difference in pay scale in your countries?
I would say the US is very different than the UK, and most developed countries. Here in the US for instance, many companies do not provide a complete health coverage (including medical, dental, and vision), so employees must then pay into each of those if they wish to receive said benefits. Additionally, our "base" is pre-tax value. I work for a company in who is headquartered in the UK, and the salary they are advertised is the actual salary that they receive, so the variance there may play a factor as well.
In all of my roles in the UK our "base" salary has always been pre-tax and when you're doing well that 45% income tax is soon very apparent especially as then you have 20% VAT + National Insurance +Council Tax etc.
Dental and vision is also very rarely included and if it is then yes, you guessed it, it's a taxable benefit. We do thankfully have the NHS though and most I've worked for also had BUPA as a taxable benefit.

One important reason they do that is if you have a side hustle as I do they (your employer) have no idea what your tax liability would be.
I'm shocked there wasn't a choice for 0
