After being let go in February, my inbox started flooding up with interview requests. My unemployment has been rather short which is why I am trying to squeeze some travel in because I thought I would be looking for months given what I heard of the market.
I had one company reach out to me in February and went through a 5 round interview with them, potential offer is likely. However, I have heard a lot of bad things on Glassdoor about them, they have a history of high churn amongst AEs, and they have made it clear that work-life balance will take a hit if I join.
Meanwhile, I have 5 interviews next week for new AE roles.
I have about 6 months of runway where I am at but I know we are in peak hiring season which is going to slow down after April.
The reason I feel compelled to take the likely offer I am going to get is because the company is Series D and I am tired at working at startups. At the same time, since I am newer to the AE roles, the large enterprise level companies barely pay much of a base to survive on.
Any idea on what is the best decision to make here?
