Yep... it's one of those posts. Which one should I take?

Alrighty ladies and gents, I have 3 offers to consider and I want the almighty wisdom of the War Room. For context, I have 1 1/2 years of closing experience and am relocating across the country in 3 months. All three have solid products from what I can see.


Option 1

  • 120k OTE 50/50 split
  • Relocation covered 100% + $10k relocation disbursement (non recoverable)
  • Covers 100% benefits
  • Hybrid work schedule (which I actually prefer)
  • Guarantees OTE first 3 months on ramp (also non recoverable)
  • Repvue Score: 95
  • ALLEGEDLY 85% + of the team is hitting quota
  • Also ALLEGEDLY "x% of our business is inbound" (x is a large number over 50% just trying to remain semi stealthy) PLG
  • Huge growth YoY + just raised a GIANT round with a solid valuation
  • Includes equity, they are pre IPO (obviously see above note)
  • Per them - promoted quite a bit of their workforce last year and plan to look internally as things grow
  • Match 401k up to $6k
  • Won't budge on comp....


Option 2

  • 130k OTE 60/40 split
  • Covers 50% benefits
  • Hybrid work schedule
  • Leader in their space by a mile
  • Repvue Score: 90
  • 55% team attaining quota - team I am interviewing for 110% for FY22
  • Publicly traded
  • Selling into a industry that I enjoy selling to
  • REALLY liked the Hiring Manager
  • Match 401k 50% up to 6%


Option 3

  • 150k OTE 50/50 split
  • Covers 100% benefits
  • Hybrid work schedule
  • Publicly traded
  • Repvue Score: 89
  • 50% team attaining quota
  • Got blasted on Glassdoor, specifically in the AE job description. Some concerning notes in there.
  • Quite a bit more technical of a product, but I'm up for it
  • Match 401k 100% up to 6%



Boy oh boy is it a candidates market.

Let me know what you think WR - to be honest just typing all this out helped.

Which one?

1 sounds like the most solid opp from the info you provided, followed by 2.

1 and 2 sound good, I’d probably avoid 3 because of the bad Glassdoor. Glassdoor can always be taken with a grain on salt but if there’s a lot of bad reviews then it’s a pattern

Agreed.. A few bad reviews don't mean much but when you see a pattern it shouldn't be ignored.

If I can give any advice here, 2 is the better option for long term. 1 is prepping to go public, which is why they wont budge on Salary. You can probably make a ton of money at any of them but with 1 you will more early on but once they go public, the model will change. Companies prepping to go public typically care much less about EBITDA until they are reporting to the stree. Good luck brother.

Seems like 1 & 3 are solid, 1 seems to have the most upside. I took a cut to be at the company I am at now and it has been nice.

3 sounds like a company I know.   If so, avoid until they get their cr*p together.

I'd rank them in the order you put them.

I would go 1 but 3 could be enticing and I always take glassdoor reviews with a bit of caution.  7/10 it always seems like a scorched earth type of review when in fact it was the former employee that just sucked and thought they were awesome.

Call me what you want, just sign the damn contract
You need to do some backdoor checking on 1 ASAP. Sounds too good to be true.

Interestingly enough, I can only find one or two former AE's  from 1 on LinkedIn. Reached out to them. That may be a good sign though?

For sure! Good call out though - color me skeptical. Hence the reason for the all caps allegedly.

I think option 2 honestly. 80% of folks leave companies because of their direct boss, and you liked this boss enough to say it in the post. That being said the relocation pay might be worth it to take option 1.

1 is the strongest for me. The 10k difference between option 1 and 2 is equal to about 200 after taxes in each paycheck. Inbound lead follow is something you can’t find easily and the Repvue scores seem to be fairly accurate from what I have seen.

I was leaning toward 3..but then I realized the glassdoor thing....lol. Prob #1 tho!

Option 1 may have low OTE but if everyone is hitting quota then you're into accelerators and should hopefully make more than that if you're good at your job. Also having multiple years of experience hitting and exceeding quota will help you double that salary when you go out looking for your next job in 2-3 years.

Industry you enjoy selling into , although option 1 sounds like they care about more about their employees.

just from the way you wrote the notes for option 1 compared to the rest basically says you know option 1 is better

Option 1 seems like a better situation overall, but you didn't mention anything about liking the team/manager. That's an important part of the gig, so I considered saying option 2...but people are also always replaceable and who knows it that person will be around too long. I had a friend who joined a company bc they liked the person they'd report to... then 2 months later a new manager took over the team and they were awful.
