I'm currently a video editor at a rapidly growing company where I love the mission. However, a toxic coworker is hindering my growth. I've been offered a creative director position at a smaller lesser known company with a higher salary.
While I'm hesitant to leave my current company, I'm unsure if staying will limit my career advancement. Should I prioritize company culture and potential growth, or focus on the immediate financial benefits and increased responsibilities with the offer?

This is a tough decision. I can understand not wanting to leave and stick it out. At the end of the day, you should prioritize your professional and personal growth. This new role could lead to other great opportunities. I think you should go for it.

My manager says that the company is growing rapidly and that our titles will adjust as more people join. But I’m not sure when. I also feel very emotionally connected to the mission but it’s been difficult to work here to say the least. A lot of gatekeeping and gossip

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?

I’ve worked in sales for 12 years (8 years retail sales and management, 4 years inside tech sales and management). I’m feeling the burn and looking for something else in the tech field. I’m making $140k. I have a college degree but no marketing, engineering, or product experience. What other departments/jobs could I jump to and still keep close to my OTE? I’m pretty good at Salesforce and have thought about a SFDC admin type role, but that’s all I’ve thought of so far.

Hi everyone! In your experience, what is the one tool / must-have / methodology any of your companies use to bring about a cohesive and comprehensive go-to-market strategy in the launch of new products and services? As a company scales, coordinating cross-functionally and across time zones is becoming increasingly challenging so we have identified that we need frameworks or tools to help us go-to-market in a less clumsy, more coordinated fashion. Would love to get your ideas on this.

"Everybody can be a leader" some say... "Leaders are nurtured not born" say others... True.

But... this is also true: "not everybody wants to be a leader" (whether they can or can't be). It is a fairly common practice in organizations with traditional career management structures for people to "be promoted" into leadership roles as the "end steps of the corporate ladder" that was climbed doing technical work. And, unfortunately, this doesn't work all the time
