Hey everyone, I switched from neustar to a database company in 2021. Went from a solutions architect post sales to a partner solutions architect pre-sales! Did really well and grew the partner business to a point where channel got as big or even bigger than direct sales teams(imo they were chasing elephants and didn't meet numbers instead of taking small bites as we're a startup) I was doing so well and loved my job which involved a fair bit of travel and meeting with execs at several major companies. But there was so much pipeline we couldn't close all the deals on our own and had to reach out to the direct teams. Since then our company has evolved into being more partner friendly but instead of merging direct teams to help partners I've been brought on to the direct team where I am learning some much needed skills but isn't half as fun, full of politics on who gets what and don't know if I got forward in career or took a few steps back in return for the promise of more $$(direct folks make so much more on deals)! Latest: My company would like for me to go to Australia to setup our business there, they need a tech seller! And in my partner role we were a bit successful there as well and it's a challenge for the direct folks to get deals there. It's lucrative as it gives me the freedom and takes me away from a few toxic people who thought I just get handed opportunities and we didn't work for them in the partner team before! I'm considering taking this oppo knowing my priority date won't be affected. What should I be asking the company? Like a written statement they'll get me back once I get the goals for the region? A raise and a promotion? L1 upon arrival? Relocating my belongings(including a motorcycle that I love and would miss if I didn't bring it with me)? Help me out 🙏🏽
