Has anyone ended up working for a prospect?

I just had a conversation with a CEO at a startup I admire, and the topic turned to sales hires. My jaw dropped at the comp numbers and I also really love the product, their selling philosophy (buyer centric, empathetic ; less volume based), and I feel like the CEO is an extremely empathetic bit straight forward person.

I'm considering throwing my hat in the ring for consideration, at the same time I've got a sales motion going on - any tips?

Seems like it has checked some important boxes for what people may look for in a job. I would but make sure you are not breaking any non compete clauses with you current position.

Yup. I'm not necessarily looking for a move but this checked a lot of boxes for me. I'd almost double pay as well - 115k OTE to about 190k OTE on the lower range of the comp she's considering.

The big negative is that they're a pre Series A startup which is always scary... But potentially lucrative if I can help them grow.

Sounds promising. The way I see it, if there is nothing in your contract that prohibits it, I think it's worth a shot. Yes, Series A is a drawback...but there's no guarantee you'll land the role.
