Question

How much of this latest RIF landed on the GTM team? Any reason to give either the Enterprise AE or Sr. Acquisition AE role a look? (i assume Acquisition is just purely a hunter / new logo role?)

I would not recommend joining Pluralsight in a sales role for the foreseeable future, unless you are absolutely desperate.

Unfortunately the company has been on a downward trajectory for a long time now, with none of the prior big cuts doing what they were intended to do. The layoffs this week were by and large not performance based, but cutting heads based on compensation expense which is very disheartening.

Like the last comment, stay away unless absolutely desperate. Not a bright future.

Better to avoid - unless you know the territory and opportunities for growth
be always prepared for redundancies in short notice - tenure doesnt matter

A lot. I don't know the actual number... Enterprise AE is probably growth and Sr Acquisition would be purely new logo. (You'll get to keep anything you close to grow until the end of the year though)

Honestly, you can make good money in the new logo space, especially with the reduced headcount, what leads do come in will be more likely to land in your patch.

Just be aware that your territory will probably be weak until things shuffle at the end of the year. Also, I've seen two big deals ripped away from acquisition reps because PS didn't want to pay out the commissions.

It's still a good product, but keep your eyes open.
