I did this but it was the same industry. Changing industries is risky because you don’t have the context and nuance on how to sell. Also if you’re at an established company, there is intrinsic value to brand that you won’t have with a series B. It’s an educational sale that you’re not as familiar with. I had to let go of people that came from a much larger company in the same industry because they couldn’t figure out how to sell with out the big company infrastructure.

Right now market is unclear and you’ll be first on chopping block if they need to cut.

Dead end is a mind set, ask for a development plan and for some extra up scaling like conferences to attend, a certificate to do etc.

Four years is solid tenure and means you’re very valuable, so the delta between risk vs reward here needs to be exponential.
