For anyone that went from a BDR role to a BDR manager role, how did you make the transition? I have 4 years of BDR experience unofficial team lead experience but no other leadership experience yet. I do not want to become an account executive so this seems like it might be the best path for me at this point to get to the next step in my career. Advice?

Hi, also looking for the same career path. Account executive is the step I’m taking.

Yeah sounds very similar to me. I can’t seem to get the experience I need to transition into any of the marketing roles that I want so feeling that BDR manager might be my only option at this point to keep my salary higher but not actually sell

Hi Fishes,
I had given interview for network security architect position in Feb last week. And as per recruiter, I got selected for that role. I have been asked to share the documents on March 1st. I did a few followup for the offer letter update and they asked me 2 wait for 2-3 weeks. And now they are saying position has gone on hold after I did another followup.
Could it be because of expected salary ?

Hi everyone, I am looking for advice on getting to the same company but in a different country. I had an internship at multinational FMCG company in purchasing in country 1 (5 ys ago).

So about quiet quitting, at another job I was in I felt I was getting more and more tacked onto my job and picking up the slack of everyone else. I told my boss that I was doing work that was in someone else’s job description and it would be nice if they could help me out by doing their job. He told me, “But you’re so much better at it.” Looking back, I think the whole team was quiet quitting and he was resting on me and so I real quit. What are ya’lls thoughts? Have you ever done it?
