Hi everyone! I am about 8 months into my job as a BDR. my first job! It pays well and i love my coworkers. Its also fully remote which is nice bc i love flexibility. The problem i’m having is i dont really enjoy the job. I hate objection handling, and I get so stressed that i wont hit my goals. I also dont really like my AM i work with. I want to do a career path switch and I dont want to be an AM/SE. What are roles I could easily switch to?I thought about recruiting too but eh. please help!

no disrespect to the OP, but if they want to avoid objection handling, then they probably want to avoid conflict / service issues / problem calls...

If you're only eight months in, switching now won't do you any harm no matter what it is into. What do you enjoy doing? What motivates you?

Honestly, I would start small. Think about things you LIKE to do, and what you seem to be good at. Then you can figure out what roles are best for those skillsets. Like recruiting or client success might end up being the right choice

If you aren't enjoying it, I would start looking elsewhere.

I guess I’ll never know…but was that a rejection? 🥲

Also, in general, very annoying to find out after sending resume/reaching out that a job will not be fully remote.
