Is Sales compatible with Anti-Work?
Hi everyone! I’m an Account Executive in SAAS sales and feeling burnt out. I’ve had success in my career and genuinely enjoy working with people, but I don’t resonate with the constant hustle and ‘never enough’ mentality that many other sales professionals have. While I’ve made great money, my company’s comp structure recently changed, and I’m searching for my next position. I’m deciding if I want to remain in sales as an AE, go into sales operations / enablement, or make a switch entirely (like marketing, CS, or data analytics!). It’s also worth mentioning that I work for a high growth SAAS startup who’s working on their IPO, so it’s possible that I would be happier and have more balance doing a similar role at other companies. I’m just trying to figure out where to go next, and very open to a career change. Is anyone else here in sales? What have your experiences been?
