Sales Director

Acclaimed Answer

I'm quitting today - UPDATE (and some tips for job seekers)

Original post linked.

My old company (med device sales) and I re-engaged conversations around me returning.

Fast forward to yesterday, I signed a new contract which includes:

1) Larger territory (eastern US)

2) $15k base salary raise

3) 6 month ramp with a near 6 figure base while pipeline is built.

Lessons learned the last 6 months...

1) If you're contemplating leaving your current gig, have a conversation with your leadership at your current company before leaving. You never know what they have in mind for you if you DON'T ASK.

2) Job hopping can certainly accelerate your pay check, but I've come to find I don't need to make $200k to be happy. I value a stable company that fosters environments of growth, risk tasking, personal and professional growth, and downright giving a shit about me as a human being.

DM me if you're stuck, I'm happy to try and help!

Oh that's not burning. That's full on demolition of a bridge which is totally warranted in certain scenarios.

Congrats! You are totally right on your second point. It's super hard to find companies like that nowadays though, so if you find one, stay as long as you can.

If you’re happy, great. Usually once I leave a place, that’s it.

Totally understandable.

I've had a few employers where I don't want a bridge to even exist any longer.

#2 all day long my friend. As long as I'm growing, making good money, and have a manager/team who helps then I don't have any reason to look elsewhere.
