Started a new role the last week of July.
I was VERY conscious vetting potential new employers when I made this switch and quota attainment was one of my key metrics to ask about and look for.
Well, the specific division that I am on at my company is a new one and it really seems like there was a lack of oversight and/or some serious over hiring.
The team of 13 that I am on finished at 40% attainment and the division that we are a part of was not much better at 50%. We had 1 AE hit quota for the quarter out of 13 on my team.
All AE's seem to follow the same formula, crush their first two months then fall off the map. We are in an upsell/overlay role and have a very specific type of target account. Most AE's burn through their best accounts in 60 days and are now scraping the bottom of the barrel.
I was in my last role (which was my first B2B Saas role) for 1 year, and did well! Prior to that I was at at my last company for 8 1/2 years.
I'm certainly not the only one on my team that is concerned, and I don't want to be blind sided by potential lay offs when they realize that they just over hired.
How long do I give this before I start aggressively looking for something else?
I'm only in month 4, am I being too impatient?
