Any recommendations for someone looking to transition into a SDR/BDR role? Ex: programs to be familiar with, coursework, positions to look into, etc.

SDR roles are generally entry level. Apply like crazy and spin your previous work experience as sales experience. For example: If you worked in a restaurant as a server or bartender, that's a green flag.

Sell yourself as a highly organized people person.

Get into a program/Bootcamps the ones I’ve gone through are Vendition and now Fuel Sales Academy. Recommend FS over Vendition as far as I can see as it’s far more in depth, they go at a good pace and you’re looking sales skills you’ll use forever. They’re both free. I don’t know your background at all? That will come into play of course as you can possibly get into a job with just that.

Look up vendition for boot camps

Would love to hear thoughts on best approach of you are a senior associate at V10 firm.

Currently a staff in audit - 6 months in. Glad to be learning a lot, and have had a generally positive experience at the firm other than a few interactions, some tough busy season nights. Really been intrigued by TAS/M&A, however, and had a few convos with a senior in TAS i know at the firm. It’s closer to what I studied, but don’t know how to make the jump as it seems an internal transfer could take 6+months/senior rank and a lot of convincing. Is it better to jump firms/has anyone done this?
