What's up savages. I'm currently an mid market AE who's doing well. 77% of my quota in one month and already at my yearly quota YTD. I get paid poorly (55/85). My company (5k employees) is owned by private equity and has been a mess (shocker right?) and the people that hired me are gone.
interviewing with a direct competitor who's smaller (200 employees but funded and growing) not in venture or private equity. They are offering me 100/200 for an Enterprise AE role. It's pretty much identical to the work I do now at the larger company. I'd be a part of growth and that excites me.
What red flags should I look for? I feel good about the health of the company, the leadership and financial health of the company. The only major downside is the product is slightly less robust than the big company. Granted, the larger company is a Frankenstein of stitched together tools from purchased start ups that competed with them.
Anyone have advice on jumping ship from a bigger company to a smaller one?
Thanks in advance!
