Lower base salary, higher comission potential?

Hi

Living in latin america and working for north america recruiting agencies for the past 5 years as a contractor.

I’ve built my way up in terms of base, comission. Right now, I’m at 48k / year + making an additional 18k in comission / year, pretty consistent I’d say and I’ve been working in this company for the past 4 years and also getting some small % of what junior recruiters bill.

I’m potentially receiving an offer in the coming days from another agency, promising 10% comission but with a lower base (3k). The agency is small (2 ppl) and the CEO is 100% hands on in BD/recruiting. He told he expects this role to make 100k / year.

Would you consider a paycut if the upside potential is appealing? If so, what kind of questions would you ask after a offer has been handed.
