Scenario: I’m happy where I’m in my sales position (currently 1st in company in sales) but I got offered a management position by my old boss for $40k more salary and matching my OTE to manage a SDR team of 12 reps. Downside is I have to travel to Dallas from Weatherford 3x a week.
Would you stay or take the new job?

Take the money. Just figure out a way to avoid the I-30 traffic during rush hours.

Look! Up in the sky. It's a bird. It's a plane. No, it's an EMP!

That's a tough one. Why not drive the route to Dallas you'd drive a couple times in a week and see if you can stand to do it for yearssss.

Roughly 156 times a year making that drive, tough decision.

I dont like the sound of an SDR team. You better figure out what that is first.
Secondly, make them come to you in Weatherford or do meetings over TEAMS. None needs to see you in person.

How happy are doing what you do now? The answer to that would weigh heavy into my decision-
What has happed to you does not define who you are-
HOW you react to what happens to you DOES!

Depends on your current standard of living. 3xweek might someday turn in to 5xweek

These are such uncertain times. I would be very careful and consider just how much of that .$40k will end up in my pocket, all things considered. Tough decisions. Good luck.
