Ignoring Your Values is Destroying Your Career Pt. 1 w/ James Thompson
James Thompson is a Strategic Account Executive at DigitalRoute. He's worked for companies like AbacusNext, Benevity, Chargebee, and now DigitalRoute. He is also a founding member of the SaaS Sales Society which is an exclusive club for insatiably curious Million Dollar and Enterprise Account Executives. He closed the largest deal in North American Chargebee history and has been the recipient of many awards including Highest Total Annual Contract Value, Partner Channel Champion of the year, and the annual Outstanding Performance Award. And today we're going to learn how he has made his career choices and stayed at the top of his game.
James discusses how he made the decision to turn down an offer from a great company because they did not include enough PTO. His wife noticed this first and pointed it out to him. This made him realize that there were some other red flags with that company. He ultimately decided to take an offer with a different company that gave him more PTO days.
James also discusses the importance of family and how it motivates him to achieve success. Like James, you will encounter many challenges in your career. Choosing a job that aligns with your values will help you avoid many problems.
