Hi everyone, I'm currently a BDR at SF for the french market. And I'm questioning my next steps. One of the two possible path ahead of me are:
- SmB AE
- Enterprise corporate sales ("Little AE" working in large account with a senior AE)

Which way seems to be more profitable for my next career plan ? (I'm a little bit tired of cold calling all day though.)

Should I stay at SF more few years or switch elsewhere ?

Thanks for your help ! Salesforce

I took my first Data Science job in a very small company and I had no idea what the job should be like because this was my first.

I ended up doing software design and other engineering tasks during years, not a lot of research or data crunching.

The good part is that I realized that what I really like is to design systems and to program. Now I want to apply for SWE jobs, but afraid that my job title will be a problem. Any tips?

I am a project manager with the strong desire to transition into product management but I’m feeling a little discouraged. Every opportunity I come across mentions 7-10 years experience.

Thanks in advance!

Recently promoted to L5 in Strategy & Ops at Google. Feels like a good time to take stock of my career. I don't think I want to pursue a longer career in StratOps, but would like to stay in Google for the foreseeable future. I like the sound of PM roles (but aware it can be hard to transition / secure a role with limited PM experience). Any advice / opinions / warnings from ex StratOps folks OR folks who work with ex StratOps folks in new roles, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I have been offered equity as part of my comp package. Have never been offered this before. Can I opt out of this, and maybe opt in later? Does it look bad or indicate that I don’t intend on staying with the company? Or is it nothing to read into?

Hey everyone! I’m a couple months in of trying to find a SDR role. Does anyone have any advice for interviews or just to stand out from the crowd? Any advice would be much appreciated!

Got an opportunity as a BDR at Klaviyo. Does anyone have past experience here that can share light on company culture, compensation, and growth opportunities?

I’m an SDR who has been at my company for 6 months. In those 6 months I’ve been the leading guy for 3 months. My goal is to be AE. Should I move on?

Has your company acknowledged what's happening in Minneapolis? Should it?

My company just said no overnight stays unless 150 miles or more and we can’t go over 149 per night. The boss said it came down from corporate but no one on the sales team got a corporate email. It seems like this is just a instruction from our immediate boss and people with big territories are upset because this new policy makes it more challenging to cover ground in certain areas of your territory. Is this a gold standard? Are all companies cutting back right now on sales team expenses?

Is anyone on here still selling fax machines?

One of the hardest things to do in business and in sales is to have someone love what you do so much that they'll put their name on the line and refer you business.

That's a relationship you have to nurture.

And I bet that most of you have more than a handful of happy customers who would refer you business. The easiest way to get more leads and pipeline is to ask for referrals.

Anyone working from home in sales and making over $300K with less than 7 years sales experience? I am working in pharma hounding pharmacies for a secondary for 1.5 years barely pulling $70K, I did 2 years recruiting prior and 4 years in automotive sales before but haven’t been able to break $70Kish despite being a high producer

My company recently changed my commission plan by capping half of our variable payout, resulting in the sales reps making roughly 30% less on commission checks when going over quota. Obviously this has crushed spirits, and I’ve lost any motivation to crush quota. How do I stay motivated ? Or is it time to find a new job?

I’ve been a club performing rep for years at a SaaS company…but as an enterprise account exec… my average deal size is around $75k in annual recurring, quota of $1M. This is inline for my company but low when I speak with others for Enterprise rep openings. Any thoughts on recommendations for steps to bridge that gap?
