Who this band describes
The senior AE band assumes 5+ years of full-cycle sales experience at B2B software companies, with quota ownership and OTE (on-target earnings) as the compensation structure. The band below reflects total OTE; base salaries are typically 40-50% of OTE.
Enterprise-software AEs (six-figure ACVs, long sales cycles, named accounts) sit at the upper end. Mid-market and SMB SaaS AEs cluster in the middle. The OTE structure means top performers can substantially exceed P75, but base-only earners can sit well below P25 in lean quarters.
Common employer types at this band: Enterprise SaaS, Mid-market SaaS, Fintech, Cyber/security software.
