There's only so long I can sustain this pace. Am I the only one considering a role with less quota pressure, even if it means slightly less pay? Sometimes, sanity is worth it...

I think this is by company and product you selling. I used to be working under stress but now I’m working at a much better pace after I switch company

Maybe not the role, but a different company might fix the issue. Some of these employers are really exploitative, to be honest. Have you considered that instead?

Do you have an individual or group/territory quota?

I'm thinking about leaving this career entirely. I work on multi-million dollar deals and the amount of pressure is insane. I'm sick of sales people that only talk about sports. I'm sick of "goal setting" which I believe is only a way to get more work for the same price.

I'm SVP/strategy for a PR agency. I moved into PR, Healthcare, and Strategic Planning only 3 years ago.

Or that I'm qualified). But long-term, knowing account roles are so much more plentiful than brand planning in PR, I'm wondering if I should start thinking about account. Anyone here moved from strategy to account?
