It happenedโ€ฆagain.

Anyone looking for a VP of Sales/Revenue Operations/Business Operations.

Still processing everything, but the main takeaway is this: qualifying your prospective employer beyond the comp or goals. Are you getting the boss you interviewed with, or will that person behave entirely different and hold you to standards that were not unearthed in the interviewing process?

Sorry to hear this, you have a killer background and will be able to find a great role again.
Again it sucks, however, it's better to rip the band-aid than to work for a leader you dislike for years which will just worsen your personal relationships at home.

I hate it when companies let people go this time of year. No one is hiring in the last couple months and it makes the holidays crazy stressful. Sorry this happened.

Unfortunately there isn't really a way to know what you are buying when you accept a job. No matter how diligent you are it always ends up being a coin toss

You can vet employers. Hop through hoops of referrals.

Even Have insider info, and shit changes on a dime.

Solid VPs and Directors leave. Turnover.

Product goes down market. Gets sunsetted. Gets acquired. Or gets bypassed, and outclassed by the comp.

Leads dry up.

Guess that's why mentors said you gotta invest in yourself so that you can make hay when the sun is shining.
