6 YOE Sales Pro Stuck in Chaos—Time to Jump Ship?
I've got 6 years in sales across 3 companies, but my average stint is only 1.5 years. Plus, I'm underpaid. At my current job, my domain's been switched 5 times in just 1.4 years, and teams change without warning. What should I do? The politics are insane, there's zero work culture, and no processes. It's too much!
