Hi guys!
I've been in Bizdev for several yeas leading very successful BDR teams.
At some point we grew our ARR from 2M to 19M and I'm pretty confident I'm great at what I do.
However, I never been a closer myself. Never made too much money either because I always worked for American companies out of Brazil and they always chose to pay less.
I currently make 75K base + 100K OTE as a BD Lead but got offered a position for 80K + 200k OTE as the Head of Sales for one of our competitors.
I mean, the money sounds great. Thing is, I'd have to manage a whole team of SDRs, Team Leads, AEs and since the company is a startup, report directly to the CEO.
I'm not big on closing and that's something that I'll have to learn as I go. The CEO is fine with it.
I guess, I'm just curious on your guys' opinion if I should take the job or not and go for the challenge. If it doesn't work I'm still young (24) and I'm able to get back on the market fairly quickly (I have 5 companies I can choose to work for at any point).
Should I take the job?
