Answer 7

OTE stands for on target earnings. OTE includes commission or bonus elements that are payable when your targets are met.

Before you agree to take the job you need to find out what your base salary will be so that you have an idea of how much you will receive each month. The bonus or commission elements will probably not be paid on a monthly basis, but they may be paid quarterly or annual instead.

Good luck
