Background
-working at a big F500 tech company,
-internal promo a couple times
-good team with WLB, good manager, etc.
-knew I was underpaid as I’ve been at same company for a while
-90k base, 180k OTE

What I did
-Researched the top paying Sales companies on CompGauge
-Researched company sentiment on Glassdoor
-Created shortlist of top 10 companies
-Updated Resume, LinkedIn to fit profile of those 10 companies. Make sure you make your resume very metrics/numbers based
-networked with one/two reps per company and was usually able to get a referral

Result:
-Landed an offer at a Data SaaS company
-150k base/300k OTE, 20k signing, 25k stock/yr
-moved from mid market to enterprise accounts

TLDR; 180k OTE to 300k OTE, now cover enterprise accounts
