I’ve got recruiters from competing companies in my inbox, promising higher commissions, better support, and an ‘amazing culture’, but I don’t want to jump just for empty promises. If you’ve left one sales org for a direct competitor, was it actually better, or did you end up in the same situation with a different logo?

I’ve made the switch before, and honestly, it depends. Sometimes it’s just the same grind with a different name, but if the comp plan, product, and leadership are truly better, it can be a huge upgrade.

All depends on leadership and your manager. Bad managers have defined my career.

I totally get the hesitation. I’ve been there too.. chasing promises of better commissions and a “perfect” culture. But in my experience, it’s not always greener on the other side. I think it really depends on company culture and leadership, not just the promises. What’s most important to you?

I left biglaw after 3 years to a mid-size firm. Took a pay cut but the hours, people, culture and work were so much better I never thought twice about the salary or “prestige.” Ultimately I started 2 very small firms. I am not rich by biglaw standards but I have a very comfortable life and put my kids through college with no debt. 35 years after leaving big law, people are still impressed when I say I started there. I feel like I still had the benefits of the connection w/o the suffering.
