Hi everyone! First time posting here. I am in a good sales role at my current company but it’s my first solid AE role in the tech industry. I am interested in exploring other opportunities as I know there are a lot out there, but is anyone else worried about the current economic state? I’m worried that if I find a new position for a new company and the economy going to sh** that I am worried about job security. Anyone else feel this way?

Your thoughts and feelings are valid. Seems like there's too much going on that you can't help but anticipate instability. Try hanging on in your current role at the moment and try to observe what the next 3-6months would be like. It should also give you enough time to evaluate which roles to choose or companies to apply to.

Totally understandable. You just have to ask yourself how much of a risk you'd be willing to take to find out whether the grass is greener elsewhere. Are you stable enough in your life to handle a layoff if it were to happen?

I think this depends on the kind of company you aim to join. Start-ups and medium enterprises might suffer. Bigger companies are less likely to suffer a similar fate. Still, I would recommend solid research before switching.

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?

Hello, first post here. Outside sales, merchant services/card processing. I’m primarily a welder but I work 4 10-hour shifts typically then I try sales the last three days. I’ve done it long enough to where I’m confident and comfortable going to new businesses, establishing some rapport with business owners. But it seems like a lot of businesses see this as a waste of time, even adding services and cutting costs. I guess either I’m looking for advice or considering not doing this anymore.
