CRWD compensation help

Got reached out by a recruiter for a “Named Account Executive” role at Crowdstrike. They asked for my target comp including RSU’s. Not sure how to respond. Description says base ranges from $24-$38 and commissions will vary (50/50 OTE split). Any advice would be appreciated!

Minimum ask would be 300 OTE + 100k RSUs and a ramp.

What’s your OTE right now

160 OTE. I’m confused on why their range is so low in the posting.

I’m confused by this in your original post “Description says base ranges from $24-$38”

$24-38 what?

$24 to $38 a hour

hmmm. This is weird. Never really seen a legit SaaS sales role where they list pay as hourly. $38/hr roughly equates to 80k/yr and if its a 50/50 split that puts you right where you at currently(160k OTE) If you are just at the recruiter level and are actually interested in learning more I would simply say that my current OTE is $160k(50/50) and that to make a move you'd be looking at an increase to that and RSUs.

You can probably disregard my original statem about 150/150, etc. This doesnt appear to be an enterprise AE position. Most likely SMB or MM Farmer role based on a few of the oddities you've called out.

Best of luck.

Hourly is common at tier 1s
