Compensation For Internal Wholesaler Selling SMA's?

New to the industry and I have an interview coming up with a Fee Only Financial Planning Firm in the Bay Area (10B AUM).

I'd be an Internal Wholesaler assisting with the sale of SMA's / UMA's to their Channel Partners.

What should I expect in terms of:

-Base Salary

-OTE (Commission)?

I have a college degree and around 2 years of Tech Sales experience (entry level BDR).

Any guidance is appreciated!

Asset Management Mock Interview

“Markus was extremely helpful throughout the session. He came prepared with the questions that have recently appeared in BlackRock’s European video interviews and explained what each question was actually assessing. Rather than giving only general advice, he listened carefully to my answers, identified where my framing could create the wrong impression, and demonstrated how to restructure them. His feedback on “Why Global Trading” was particularly valuable because he helped me present trading as a genuine interest in execution, liquidity and market impact, rather than simply an area I had not experienced before. He also distinguished professional motivation from personal drive and identified which answers needed the most work. His direct but encouraging approach made the session practical, personalised and immediately useful. I left with clear priorities, specific improvements to make and a much better understanding of how to prepare for my first HireVue interview.”
