Need some advice for a decision I'm making soon
Hello everyone!
I'm an SE at a tech SaaS company.
Just to give a bit of background, at my current company the culture has been going downhill for quite some time now so I've been looking elsewhere, things like just not being appreciated as an SE at all and just not being even seen as part of the sales team, anytime a deal closes we barely get mentioned, and the AE gets all the glory. I do love being an SE just don't like how I'm feeling unappreciated.
However, my current company recently offered me the position of going into an AE role which I am interested in eventually trying the AE role as I eventually want to be an RVP or maybe even a CRO one day.
At the same time another company which is adjacent to my current offered me an SE role there and their culture seems to be much much better.
Some numbers to compare, in Canadian dollars:
Current company, current role: 60/40 245k OTE
Current company, AE role: 50/50 320k OTE
Other company, SE role: 75/25, 270k OTE
My really torn on what to do just wondering what you all would do in this situation, I'm leaning more towards the other company and just starting fresh there. I could even go AE at that company eventually most likely.
Would love to know your opinions! Thanks!
