Which company would you join?
I currently work in Sales with the intention of moving over to marketing in the near future. I received two offers for BDR/SDR roles from Sprout Social and Gong. Both salaries are around the same (Gong - base 63k + anticipated $25k in commission, Sprout - 55k base + anticipated $25k in commission).
I like both companies’ software and it extremely hard to decide which position will get me into marketing faster as it is not a traditional BDR path to take.

No, but this is an interesting management case study. Why do you think the new VP is micromanaging the team? Did they come from within the company or outside of the company?
She came from outside. In many ways she’s turning business practices upside down from how they were. I actually agree with the reasoning behind many changes but the delivery has been quick and responses to employees who aren’t quickly adapting have been harsh. I think the micromanagement is partly from fear due to revenue loss (covid) but others have said that its more that the new VP is waiting to prove herself powerful
If the changes are positive, and you are included in the feedback loop, it may be just what is needed. I’ve been moving at a rapid pace and since covid, we’ve accelerated innovation at an all time high to time change with market opportunity.
Also, if you and the team feel this way, voice your feelings with suggestions on improving communication or focus.
