I felt the same way when I was in your shoes, but I'm so glad I took the chance and proved to myself that I could do it. You will be too. Let us know how it goes!

It's all in your mind. You can do it as long as you put your mind on it. Grow your confidence and take whatever opportunity served to you.

Another note: I'm sure that this is a normal feeling that comes with the territory of growth and change, but it's so hard not to listen to that voice. I've been in mid-market for a while and feel pretty comfortable there. However, this opportunity came out of the blue, and now I'm not sure how to think about it (except for being afraid, obviously)...

Hey there! It's an imposter syndrome. You're so much better than what your brain is trying to tell you.

You got this! I fully understand what you're going through. At some point before, I also experienced this and guess what? It gets better.

I know it's scary, enterprise can seem like a beat but it's reaaaallly not that bad, it can be interesting and you'lll some big commission checks come in!

“Job hopper” and “quiet quitting” are all schemes made up by boomers to make you think everything is the employees fault. When in reality people are just getting out of bad situations.

Except our generation will just leave amid we’re being mistreated, not complain for 35 years making 50k and 0 advancement.

I had a job interview for a role that I really want. The hiring manager scheduled me for an interview and did not show up. Emailed me an hour later stating that he got super busy and couldn’t attend, and would like to reschedule. This is a major red flag, but I can’t help but feel that I am missing out since this role pays 50% over what I currently make. Should I let the recruiter know? What’s your take on this?
