Ask HN: Are any of you salaried under pay-for-performance? A potential employer just sent me an offer with a 20k reduction in base salary, but 20k added on in bonuses if I meet expectations. Anyone in CTO/programming/IT capacity work this way? |

In context of CTO-level work, pay-for-performance would also seem to encourage meeting reward goals at the expense of a thousand other unmeasured tasks.
I know i m sounding harsh here but thats the reality of salaries these days. I understand that startups might have a little more flexibility but as a professional with 10 years of work experience, I would never ever suggest to take a salary reduction. You just don't know where you will end up next.
