*Job Update*

~~~It is so dead this week that I thought I should give a little update since I have been utilizing this community a lot in the last several months~~~

SUH FAM,

Finally landed a new gig after months of an absolute whirlwind of confusion.

Had to jump ship at an awesome company due to many poor leadership decisions>Landed what I thought was a legit gig but soon realized I made a mistake>Interviewed like crazy>Now landed a position, that on paper, I shouldn't really have.

The new gig is very interesting and I'm an Enterprise AE making almost $100k more OTE than I was 6 months ago. The other AEs on the team are decently older than me so it feels good to be where I am at. I believe I am deserving of this position but on paper, most companies would auto reject me for probably even Mid-Market positions. You could call me the finesse god since I finessed my first SDR role and then my first AE role too. Honestly, I finessed my last two offers also. Not that I lied, but I had to really come in heavy with things that show I am better than people with 6 years of Ent closing experience. So far so good...

Except...

My company is very lax. Almost no sense of urgency with anything. I do enjoy it but I think it is a little too laid back. The part that really hits me is my Director of Sales. Dude is so cool but very inexperienced. I am constantly teaching him things about sales and even ops, marketing, etc. This guy would make an awesome manager but nothing above that.

How do I deal with this? Has anyone else gone through this recently? Specifically, I find it hard to be motivated when the person I report to is not a solid leader. I want the person who is managing me to be lightyears ahead of me. I want to learn and grow. I have a great opportunity to show off to the CEO and within the company but I almost feel bad for the co-founders since they hired a sales leader that is not the right choice. Do I just do my thing and be patient til I'm up next?

Lastly, thank you, savages!!! I've gotten a lot of help from many different resources but the WR is built different 💪🏽 . Thank you for all the guidance, kind words, and help in 2022.

FUCK SHIT UP ALL 2023!!!!
