Think account Executive role at a SaaS company would be a good exit? Can’t be much more of a grind than Consulting?

I just came from sales. If you are given a bad territory or a bad product you are still expected to sell the same goal as everyone else. If you don’t sell in a quarter which is typically 4 months you can be fired. It’s a hustle. If it’s inside sales, (marketing gives you leads) it’s a bit easier. If it’s outside sales it’s more difficult because you might be forced to pick up the phone. Send me a dm and I can go more in detail. Be careful because your career could be down the drain and there are so many factors out of your control that you need to make in control.

No response whatsoever. Will emailing them again be inappropriate? I desperately need this job

I've become really jaded about consulting.

I'm looking to make a career switch so I can both create and execute on my strategies. A product management path seems very promising for this.

Does anyone who switched from consulting to product management have any recommendations of h helpful PM books, courses, or programs?

Just found out that end of the year I will be promoted from analyst directly to VP and since it’s such a large jump I’ll be the lowest paid VP in asset management at only $135k TC. Should I stay it out and wait for TC to align or take the promotion and jump ship bc I will likely get paid more elsewhere given how recruiters/other companies eat up hiring recently promoted ppl from other firms?
