Need some advice.. thoughts on SetSail.
Anyone in dental sales?
Got an offer for a sales applications manager role at Cisco and a Strategic AE role at Amazon - both are basically the same pay (130~ base, 220 OTE)
I don’t have any friends at either company so I was curious if anyone has experience and can shed some light on culture/ work life balance to help me make a decision? Thanks for the help guys!

I think this probably happens more than we even realize. The people who choose not to quiet quit or set boundaries or whatever you want to call it end up completely burnt out and real quitting. I really wish that organizational leaders would stop exploiting people's willingness to work hard & actually care about people's wellbeing. Is that too much to ask?? (Apparently so.)
That's an interesting point. You know, it's probably a bit of both.
Not quiet quit per se, but yes. Did the minimum while looking for a new role.
Good for you! At least you got something out of it!
I personally am the kind of person who will pick up the slack so I have a hard time with this. Luckily my company recognized my work and promoted me for it but I know that is definitely not always the case. I think having good managers who lead well also delegate work evenly and fairly to help with workload.
I am the same way! It is so hard for me to say no. You're lucky that your company recognizes your work...that's a job worth staying at. Maybe if more businesses did that then their employees would be more motivated and wouldn't have to quiet quit ;)
There's a difference between picking up the slack for a while, and having to do so for an extended period where it actually causes stress and overwork. After a certain amount of time, your manager needs to hire more people or pay you more. That's my outlook on this type of scenario. Been there myself.
I think that's why that company had a lot of turnover, but little do they know that it costs more to hire good people, burn them out and lose them then to just pay a good employee more. Hopefully all the attention this "quiet quitting" is getting will help managers and companies improve their HR.
As if his "but you're so much better at it" could help you pay your bills. I wouldn't be surprised if more employees will do the same. You did the right thing.
