I was laid off from my previous job and took the first offer to come my way - new industry selling a service instead of a product. I was told the OTE and was impressed, and told I wouldn't have to try hard at all as there was so much inbound demand that everyone was exceeding it. Of course now several months in and all I do is prospect and outbound all day despite us having a BDR/SDR team and I haven't seen anything to indicate I'll be able to reach half of the commission I was told would be so easy unless I want to put in 12+ hour days every week and prospect more than everyone else - and even then, there's still no guarantee I'll make my OTE.
it's a company that is good to last through a recession and checks a lot of my boxes like remote work, decent benefits, etc. But I have a hard time wanting to stay here - but I also know that I shouldn't be ungrateful and expect money to fall into my lap without hard work. Any advice? should I apply to other jobs and see what's out there?
