Should I leave for Account Management?
I've been in B2B Sales for over 15 years. The last couple of years I've been job hopping more than I ever have in my life, but with each hop I made more money and am now a VP title.
I recently met with another company that's been trying to bring me on for a while for an Account Management role.
I'd be leaving $100k for $75k. The current company is small and has almost no resources (ie. CRM, lead pulling software, conferences planned, etc.) for me to be successful and I feel like it's only a matter of time before they make cuts in a year or so. Yes, I have let my CRO know my thoughts but he doesn't want to spend the money.
The new company is well established and something I've only done on a small scale before. I've had to rebuild a pipeline 3 times in the last 2 years and it's been exhausting, mixed with having no flexibility to take time off - I'm just feeling burnt out.
The AM role sounds like a nice change. Has anyone made that move before and willing to share their experience? Is this a dumb thing to do?
