Would switching from SALT to privacy law as a S1 be a bad move?

No, especially not if you’re a JD. Exit opportunities are few and far between for SALT at manager and above.

I don’t think it’s a bad move and certainly can change career paths. I don’t think it’s true that exit opportunities are far and few between for SALT at managers and above (I’m a SALT director). It wouldn’t make as much sense to go into a completely different practice area manager and above but plenty of exit opportunities including big law (if that’s your thing) exist…

Fellow enterprise tech sales fish, I’m interested to hear your perspective. I’ve been in a rut lately and seriously considering leaving sales. I think it’s primarily fueled by one thing:
After a 6 mo cycle I closed a large deal (4x the average deal size) prior to receiving delayed 2022 comp plans. The deal counts as a 2022 deal. On last years comp plan it would’ve paid out at 10%. This year it pays out at a measly 4%.

How do you/have you navigated your way through and out of these situations?

Need help thinking through this…Debating leaving to a tech startup. Very early stage ($3-7M ARR), would have a big role leading strategy and Ops.

For those of you have left, what kind of questions did you ask yourself to know it was the right time?
