I shared a post about paying back a sign on bonus and a few ppl asked what the deal was, they thought i was happy. https://bravado.co/war-room/posts/paying-back-a-sign-on-bonus
So here is the update.
Ive been at my current company for 9 months. Im making the most money ive ever made. ill hit my OTE this year. Im pretty happy.
My boss kinda sucks, peep this post on that: https://bravado.co/war-room/posts/can-i-rant-real-quick-about-my-boss
The company I left to come here has been talking to me for the last few months. its a publicly traded company and their product is really really great and going to do crazy things in our industry. I left because they were going to stop selling the product for a year and focus on improving it. (crazy i know lots of details i could share but the big thing to know if that i left on good terms and the VP and I are friends)
SO they are going to start selling the product again but have no sales team. They have changed a bunch of things and want to hire ONE sales person to start. this person will be the "head of sales". this person will be an AE to start and will be in charge of determining the sales process and approach for the product. Then, when the time is right, hire a team.
THIS excites me SO much. they have done this in other divisions with great success.
the big thing is that my OTE will likely be lower at that company.
but i am just SO much more excited/passionate about them than what I am doing now.
I am concerned that in 2 years ill not be happy in my current spot and ill have missed out on this opportunity.
They have been trying to find the RIGHT person for 5 months and cant find the perfect fit.....besides me.
SOOOOO i am in a unbelievably privileged position to have to pick between two amazing opportunities (i know my life just sucks).
i am not looking to leave my current spot, but for this role, I might make the exception.
So thats my long post, what do you think?
