I have burn-out out from my current position. We are overworked and underpaid and I had a discussion with leadership and HR about a package that would allow me to leave while retaining a good relationship and include a package that could help me float financially while looking for another position, and that is currently being put together. My specialty is Insurance Account Management and Client Retention though I’d love to go into something a little more low maintenance. Any suggestions?

I’ve been in Account Management in Tech for 9 years at 2 different tech companies - it is not low maintenance. I am extremely burned out. I would consider a role that isn’t client facing, to be honest. Otherwise, it is essentially the same thing with a different industry. I have never come across a low maintenance Account Management job in tech. It is fast pace, high maintenance if anything.

Tech…?

I’m looking to move into tech. But the training I need is extensive and hard to break into as a novice.

I think tech is one angle, but you may want to look at other industries such as healthcare. but account management isn't easy, so good for you for negotiating the right package!

For those of you in healthcare related account management, what is your healthcare background? I am clinical and getting ready to hire a higher level account manager.

I accepted a $115K base salary, 13% bonus, 10k sign on bonus (scientist supervisor) job and two weeks later, got a $135K base, 17% bonus, and 15K sign on bonus (Senior scientist role) offer from another company. Should I accept the new offer ? How do I tell the previous company about this? Also, I’ve already negotiated with the first company and the $115K base is the negotiated salary. I really do not prefer one company over the other. They’re both great! I’m very confused here. TIA🙏
