You won't get it unless it's up front. Common sense should prevail here, why structure it like this except they don't want to pay you?
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.
I've never heard of that and unless you are happy with the worst-case base salary I would renegotiate. Having been a part of many bonus systems, I never plan on the bonus money to actually hit my bank account.
Good advice, thank you. I told the employer that since this is a reduction rather than addition, it's more like a punitive system.
