I have an offer!!
The company is super rad, passionate, and growing like crazy. The role is fairly ambiguous so I have a lot of room to define. The company org is fairly flat, which is quite different from Big 4 life. So.... why do I feel so guilty, nervous, hesitant?

Because it's new, different and you are leaving your comfort zone at your current job. This happens to all of us. They extended you an offer because they see what you can bring to the table. Just relax and enjoy the new role. Congrats!

Because change is scary and humans are naturally risk-averse- and we innately feel change is risky. That doesn’t mean it is, though- it’s just your lizard brain exerting itself! Take a deep breath and keep logic at the forefront- it will ease up once you start the new role!

Congratulations!!🎉🎊 So happy for you!

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.

Help!
