I am in Sales Ops now but I started in Sales. From my perspective, Sales has way more pay upside and career potential, but you have to be willing to handle the pressure of carrying quota and striving to crush targets (which is difficult to do consistently). Higher risk, higher reward.

My sales lead just gave me my quota for the year. Its increased 120% from last year. I asked if my peers experienced the same increase and the answer is No because I have more experience and up for promo this year. Our bonuses are a % of quota achieved meaning it’s harder for me to get a bonus. Do you think this is fair? What would you do? For additional context, I crushed my quota last year but I feel like I’m being punished now.
