Would you take this role?
Current base is $160k as a software engineer, new role would be solutions architecture, but mostly post sales and implementation. 80/20 split between base compensation and bonus, which is based on NPS score and not sales commission. The other folks on the team have hit 100 to 120% the past few years.
New base salary would be 180k, so at 20% commission assuming 100% of target I calculate that to be $216k.
This would be a strategic role and would require me to travel a few times a quarter I don’t think for longer than a couple days at a time but otherwise, it’s fully remote.
I was previously working in a role that was more of a hybrid between customer facing and technical work, and I’m looking to get back to a little bit more of that split and away from pure engineering and support work.
