I spent 2 years as an SE at my current company and was offered a job at the same company to lead our tech partnerships. I was pumped about the role and increased my OTE by 20%.

After 4 months, the culture of this team is entirely different than sales. My manager micromanages me, is out of touch, and threatened me for having passion projects outside of work.

Do I stick it out and deal with the anxiety, move on from the company I love, or take an AE job that is on the table and blow it up?

If you have a bad manager that will never change. Since you've an offer on the table I'd take it.

This is what I would do. Escape while you can.

You have the experience, the market is hot. Go where you feel more welcome! Do it sooner than later.

Threatened you for having passion projects? I mean I probably wouldn't brag about side gigs but if they are just hobbies then I don't get it. Agree with Pluralsight though, now is the time if you want to explore other opportunities.

It was just a conversation about remodeling my house and active real estate investing. This was returned with "I was fired for remodeling my house once".

Is it the company itself that you don't like, or just your manager/team? If you like the company still, you could try and switch to a different team. If it's the company, and it's that toxic, I'd move on.

pretty much this, if it's a bad manager, you have to understand that they are not gonna change so there's no point trying to stick it out. Look for another team to join
