I've been in sales for a few years and I'm really good at what I do, but I'm getting burned out. I put in so much extra time and effort to exceed my goals and expectations, but it doesn't seem to matter. I'm starting to think about my future here, and I'm wondering what's the point of giving 110% if there's no payoff? If you found out a company didn't reward top performers, would you just do the bare minimum? Do you also think about the impact this would have on your teammates?

I personally would. The whole appeal of working in sales is having your compensation directly tied to your effort. If it isn't, what's the point in working yourself to the bone when there's no incentive for doing so?

I agree with you!

I think you have to find a balance that works for you. I've found that doing the bare minimum ends up feeling bad after a while, you just feel like a phony everyday. So I wouldn't go that far. But would I be giving 110%? No way. Give 80-90% and you'll feel much better

If you're working for an organization that doesn't reward your hard work then you need to find another position. If you're a top performer, take your skills elsewhere. The solution is not to do the bare minimum, it's to outperform but in a better venue.

Heck, yes! Work your wage girl! The moment you start pulling back and doing just you job watch how quickly your manager notices.

Im thinking of doing this. What do you say when your manager notices?

Does anyone regret joining a boutique consulting firm? I signed with a startup out of college (spring 2020) whose founding partners were all partners/Sr leaders at a few T2s. Our firm is super small (dozen FTEs) but does really good work (we charge premium rates and work super cool projects). I’m just having second thoughts as exit opportunities aren’t as prevalent as I thought, the pay/benefits don’t match industry/risk of joint a startup, and I’m not getting the network of a Big4 or MBB
