Long run? Entrepreneurship. Short term? Being an employee. If you're lucky, you'll spend the first couple years grinding nonstop before you break through and can afford to take your foot off the gas. If you can stomach that, the payoff is worth it, but don't blind yourself to that reality.

take your question above and ask chatgpt or grok to brainstorm a soluton, and to ask you questions to answer any blank that they can only guess at. then come to a conclusion for a plan for success. and then see if you could follow the plan. It si surprising what you will come up with. trust me it works.

slave or master you decide.

Do recruiters and Hiring Managers actually review and read resumes? Also tech companies that sell SaaS, what is it with the requirements of having 10 years or more if technical sales experience? Also the ramp up period is not realistic. Average sales cycle for a reputable SaaS provider is 12-24 months. How on earth a start up can state that their ramp up period is 90 days? The company hasn’t had any new sales either. Start up CEO’s… be realistic or seek enough funding to operate.
