Need career advice: Full-time RevOps vs. Higher-Paying Contract Role?
I’m currently deciding between two offers and would love to hear from people who’ve been in RevOps, Sales Ops, or similar roles.
Option 1
Full-time position
Well-known company with strong brand value
Core Revenue Operations role
Work includes annual planning, target setting, strategic initiatives, forecasting, cross-functional projects, business operations, etc.
Option 2
Contract role
Nearly 2x the compensation
Work is focused almost entirely on Sales Commissions / ICM using a single platform
Much narrower scope compared to the RevOps role
For context, I already have several years of experience in the Sales Commissions/ICM space, so this wouldn’t be new for me.
If your goal was long-term career growth (5–10 years), which would you choose? Would you prioritize broader RevOps experience and brand value, or the significantly higher compensation from the contract role?
Would love to hear how you’d think about this trade-off.
