I work as a partner manager. I have a commission plan but my KPIs are stupid, I am not measured on direct sales through partners but I am measured on "influenced ACV" by partners.
CONs OF MY ROLE
I feel that I am learning nothing, that my role is useless, and that there is no real career opportunity. Also, this kind of role is very rare in other companies, and changing would be really difficult.
PROs OF MY ROLE
My day is really light. On average I work 3 hours per day. The commission is certain, and I will never be laid off due to my country's laws. My boss is chill, I speak with him once a month and he's ok with my work.
I want to change jobs and do something with more responsibilities, such as AE or CSM. I am not sure which would be the right choice.
I am not great at handling stress but I am great at communicating with people, I did some demos in the past and the customers all bought.
I need a guide folks, I feel lost.
