How to move on from a company when you don't feel comfortable doing so

Hey All,

I'm really here looking for some advice on how to take the step of moving on from a company that I feel emotionally tied to. The company I work for was small when I joined and my team have helped it grow exponentially (over 150% growth in 2 years). I am relatively young (25) with over 3 years sales experience (all with this company), the first month or so as BDR while learning the products and the rest as a closing account executive where I have just exceeded target each year (approx $1mm arr in last 2 years), I fell into a lucky situation to get into a closing sales role so quickly.

I have always felt really motivated and tried everything I can to hit quota each month. This drive was due to my belief in my company , products and the people I work with. But since investment was raised recently, the entire company ethos has changed. It is now harder than ever to hit target no matter how much I try. These were raised in Jan without raising salaries / bonuses, (motivation killer) and since then over 60% of the team are not hitting quota consistently, to also add to that their is talk that the company now plan on raising the targets again. (As Company is doing better than ever). Also numerous processes have been brought in to track and hinder us, I could go on all day..

At this stage, my patience and mental health are wearing thin. While I do not get any heat from management over not hitting targets, they are definitely milking me dry and I do not feel the same motivation I felt before.

Overall, I feel like a change is needed but I am afraid to take that step due to the fact I still earn good money and am afraid I may end up in a worse situation if I leave, I have also never left a professional role like this before, just part time roles. I can understand that straight up quitting may be the best option here but its easier said than done.

If anyone here has been in a similar scenario and dealt with it, I would love to hear what actions you took and if anyone else has advice it will be taken on board.

TLDR; Company I work for making it increasingly difficult to sell and hit quota, feel like I need to move, but not confident enough to leave, want advice on how to handle situation / take the step of leaving the company.

TIA.
