I joined Proofpoint as a Named Account Manager where I manage about 7 existing accounts and I have about 10 prospect accounts. The quota seems very attainable at $850K and the product market fit and brand recognition and reputation is strong. Leadership is great and there is plenty of opportunity to learn and grow.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at Proofpoint, and wish I could've stayed there. Great people, great products, and the best benefits package I've ever had. And things are still getting even better there.

How would you rate Proofpoint in DACH? How big/small are the territories and would you recommend MM or ENT? Would you recommend joining from a company like Zscaler, Cloudflare or Palo? Thanks in advance.
