So currently I'm working as a B2B sales rep. The product I sell is pretty cool and I really like the industry and the people I work with.
I was supposed to work in inside sales, but I'm currently doing outbound mostly. I never got a raise when I moved to the sales position, it is what you call a lateral promotion. This makes me pretty unmotivated
Now there is this other company that headhunted me to join them. The position is business development (which basically means creating leads for the sales team by calling prospects). The salary is 25% higher, better benefits etc. Also this company will looks great on my cv.
So it all seems like a no brainer BUT I do get less holidays (5 days less) and it's a tough outbound climate. I will also be on 6 months probation before the contract is permanent. I'm really not sure if I can hack it, the rewards would be great and there is loads of room for growth, but I'm engaged and thinking of having a family etc. so am kind of anxious trying something like this.
