I agree with Salesforce 1. Even in SMB, most AEs have 3+ years of AE experience or started from the SDR/BDR path. That being said, some SEs jump ship to AE and vice versa. I think the SE role is a good way to take your consulting skills and bridge the gap between consulting and sales before pivoting to the AE role.
That is extremely helpful advice S1 and S2. Thank you guys.
