Is the grass really greener joining a "big name"? The FAANGs, salesforces, paypals, twitters, etc....
Been interviewing for a couple of big tech/saas players and i really wonder how much better it is, or are reps there just drinking the kool aid and gloating over everything else.
When i ask about their sales/rep problems, it's really all the same shit everywhere - reps dont get leads, reps don't understand the technical side of things, reps have to grind it out prospecting, org issues, turnover, etc etc.
For those who have had experience working for a smaller/mid company and then a big tech company, was the grass really greener? The most obvious benefit is having that shiny logo on your resume, but besides that, given a lateral move, was it really that much better?
For context im at a mid size saas company, currently killing it in my patch, we have the same "problems" as any other large tech sales force, so wondering how much greener it can be on the other side.
