What matters most
A higher-paying search should start with your compensation floor and the kinds of roles that can realistically meet it. Compare base pay, variable pay, benefits, and scope before applying.
An AE offer with high OTE but a low base may not meet a candidate’s actual minimum.
A practical approach
Set the constraints of your search first, then create a routine that you can maintain alongside everything else in your life.
- Define the minimum total package you would accept.
- Research role level and responsibilities rather than relying on title alone.
- Screen postings for pay structure and location rules when available.
What to watch for
Do not widen the search to unsuitable roles merely because a salary headline looks large.
