Cybersecurity sales
OTE ranges, base-to-variable splits, quota benchmarks, and accelerator structures for every cybersecurity sales role. DecipherU builds each guide from BLS OES 2024, public compensation surveys, and SEC compensation disclosures at publicly-traded cybersecurity vendors.
OTE = base + variable, decoded
Each guide breaks out base, on-target variable, accelerator math, and SPIFF structure. Not just a single OTE number.
Quota-relative comp
Comp is shown alongside typical quota and recent attainment ranges from public investor decks. The OTE number is meaningless without the quota anchor.
Anchored on SEC disclosures
Vendor named officer comp disclosures (DEF 14A) inform the senior bands. Glassdoor self-reports inform mid-tier ranges with documented caveats.
