  1. Account Executive

    I’m about to walk away from a $20k retention bonus because the environment has become so toxic I can’t last another month. No amount of money is worth the Sunday Scaries I’m getting every single week....

    I’m tired of being coached on my soft skills when I’m the only one on the team actually hitting my revenue targets. My manager wants me to improve my CRM hygiene and attend more workshops, even though...

    I’m looking at two roles: one with a $150k base and a 5% commission, and one with a $70k base and 20% commission. Obviously, if I hit my numbers, the $70k role makes me way more money in the long run....

    I handed in my notice and my VP countered with a package that is making it incredibly hard to walk out the door. My current spot is a $115k base with a $190k OTE, but it’s a total meat grinder. The ne...

    Would you ever take less pay for a better lifestyle? I’m bringing in $250k, but the money is all I have. My work is my entire life. Opportunity to go to a $180k role with half the quota and a boss who...

    I’m being told that my OTE is $180k, but when I looked at the historical data, only one person has hit it in the last five years. To me, that’s not an OTE but a best-case scenario that is statisticall...

    Is a consistent, on-time commission check too much to ask for in this industry? I’m tired of being told that we’re a family every time I ask why our commission checks are three weeks late. Family does...

    I have a $50k commission check that I’m afraid to spend because I’m worried the clawback is coming. The client I closed is notoriously flaky, and if they churn within the first 90 days, the company ta...

    What’s your company’s referral program like? Ours pays $2k for a new hire, but only $500 if that hire is for the sales team. Apparently, finding a good salesperson is part of our job according to HR, ...

    I just found out that a guy on my team with the exact same title is pulling a $130k base while I’m stuck at $95k. We have nearly identical pipelines, both hit around 105% of quota last year, and I’m e...

    My performance review is being handled by a manager who hasn't closed a deal in a decade. It’s incredibly frustrating to have my compensation determined by someone who doesn't understand the current m...

    Do you discuss your salary with your coworkers? My boss told me to stop talking about money because it’s hurting the culture of the team. We were just discussing our commission structures at lunch, an...

    I’m looking at a $160k OTE offer in Austin, Texas, and I genuinely can't tell if that's a killer salary or just middle-of-the-pack for the local market. I’d be moving from Ohio, but the cost of housin...

  15. SaaS Account Executive

    Two offers, what would you go with? Offer A is at a legacy tech with a $130k base, a 6% 401k match, and a company car, but the OTE is pretty flat and the culture seems like a total snooze-fest. Offer ...

    Will the raise I get if I take a job in NYC even feel like a raise? I got a verbal offer for an Enterprise role that sounds great until I actually looked at the price of a one-bedroom in Brooklyn. The...

    My company announced they are standardizing all sales roles. They want everyone on the same flat percentage, which sounds fair until you realize it’s a massive pay cut for the veteran reps who have sp...

    Has anyone successfully negotiated a back-dated raise? My Senior title came with a 20% increase in responsibility but exactly 0% increase in pay. They asked me to start shadowing the new hires, but wh...

    Are most of us underpaid simply because we’re too afraid to treat our own salary like a sales deal? I negotiated a $10k raise by bringing a printout of my attainment vs. salary compared to the industr...
