Don't forget about the OT part of OTE....

Depends on ho much longer you can squeeze out of it and how risk adverse you are. On one hand it sounds like its quite comfy so maybe try and squeeze another quarter with another great commission check and then bounce end of year?

If you don’t like being a rep because of leadership then you’ll absolutely hate being a manager there. You’ll be forced to push the same narrative they do to recruit people or you go against it and it’s a humongous uphill battle you’re fighting. And you’re fighting it overseas… I would entertain these other options, if one gets serious then go to your manager. “Hey I’m not looking to leave but I’m getting poached and it’s getting interesting. I wanted to know what you think I should do. I owe it to my family to put us in the best position to reach our goals.” I did that once and ended up staying because it provided me an opportunity to tell them why I was even entertaining it. Got some more stock options out of it and it didn’t feel like I was just using it as negotiation weight.

If you're unhappy now, more than likely you will be unhappy later when you don't see the change needed.

Hey, I just answered happy wife happy life. Do it, you can still change afterwards

i will say this again - if you are asking this question, you know the answer. you know what you want. i know what you want. you want to leave. you will be unhappy until you do. don't rely on us to tell you to do it. the second you ask about doing something else, do it. i will be a broken record as long as i see these polls in WR.

I would start taking interviews and hop off that mf'er if you find the right fit.
