Very highly regarded, as they are 1) selective and 2) heavily involved with developing cutting edge tech, a good amount of which gets commercialized

It’s essentially the VC arm of the DOE. Folks with a stint at ARPA-E tend to move on to interesting (and often lucrative) roles.

Hope you take it, imo it’s a pathway to more interesting and impactful work (highly subjective, of course), Good luck with whichever option you take

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree.

I have a whole bunch of certifications in my industry…but just no formal degree. (cont'd)

Fellow enterprise tech sales fish, I’m interested to hear your perspective. I’ve been in a rut lately and seriously considering leaving sales. I think it’s primarily fueled by one thing:
After a 6 mo cycle I closed a large deal (4x the average deal size) prior to receiving delayed 2022 comp plans. The deal counts as a 2022 deal. On last years comp plan it would’ve paid out at 10%. This year it pays out at a measly 4%.

How do you/have you navigated your way through and out of these situations?
