So fellas, recently I have been offered a new job as a Sales manager in an EU Startup with 2 AE and 2 sdrs. Their plan is to get the team up to 5 AE and 5 SDR in 3 months which will be my mainly my responsibility. They also want to set up new processes, tech stack, comp plan, etc.
Now here is the tacky bit. In previous roles when shit hits the fan the Sales Manager is the first one to go. Most of my experience is in Start-ups.
In my current role, I am hitting quota, it is smooth sailing. I am a little hesitant and perhaps a little bitch about taking the next step in a product and industry I do not know anything about. The OTE will be 20 % more to what I am getting now
I wanted to ask you here, what were the first few months like when you made your switch up the ladder?
