I am in the NYC area and have been receiving offers after interviewing at several web dev firms or interactive agencies.

I have almost 4 years experience, was the top sales person at my previous company and also have project and creative management experience.

I am entertaining offers in Business Development as well as several offers
as a Sales Director or Marketing Director. Although I only have 4 years experience, many companies I've interviewed at feel confident I can take on these roles (as well as myself)...

With that being said....

I am not sure how much to negotiate when it comes to salary.
I do not want to seem greedy.

Many of the offers have been:

Base: 45-55k (almost all have NO health plan as of yet)
Commission: Quota set at around 30k per month with 15% paid out above the quota.

My issue is the commission. Is that typical? To not pay out ANY commission until a certain number is reached?

At my previous employer I was given a base (very measly) and 10% on any sale I brought in with a quota of 15k (no bonuses were ever given after I exceeded the quota every month so I think it was just a number he threw out there).

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
