How big are my chances to land an SDR role at a big corporate (e.g Salesforce) with one year of SDR experience at a small SaaS?

Tips on how to make it?

Not impossible! Just quantify your value and accomplishments, if you've made an impact it doesn't matter if it's only been a year. Go for it!

I got hired as a SFDC BDR with 6 months of experience at a small SaaS, it’s 100% possible

I was messaged by a recruiter on LinkedIn after marking myself open to opportunities. Interview process was super quick, screening with the recruiter and then a panel interview with 3 BDR managers, got a call less than an hour later from the recruiter letting me know there would make me an offer. FYI - at salesforce SDRs are inbound leads only, BDRs do outbound

Do you have a degree?

Excellent. SDR is entry level. We look for people who are not easily defeated, learn from rejection - don't dwell on it, are enthusiastic, well spoken, have good writing skills, tech skills very much appreciated - Salesforce, Hubspot, Outreach, Apollo, LinkedIn Sales Nav, etc.

For those who have passed the CIPM exam, what is it like (and how does it compare to the CIPP/US exam)?

Have a chat with a recruiter coming up early next week around a Business Strategy Director role at Salesforce. Its in their Customer Success Group.

I am sure the recruiter is going to ask the “salary expectations” question so can anyone at Salesforce (past or present) tell me what the rough salary range for this role is ? Also, if you have any insight into the interview process, please let me know!

Thanks a bunch!

I’m currently one of the largest media agencies and we don’t have a comms practice. I’ve applied for connections strategy roles at other agencies but haven’t heard anything back.

Is this a dying role and that’s why there aren’t larger teams/available positions?

KPMG I’m confused on your referral process. Had a friend refer me before I made an account, made an account, applied to two jobs and got rejected (that’s fine). But if I want to apply to a third job, will it still be under her referral or do I need a new referral? (She said she can’t refer me again for 12 months) I’m not even sure if I applied correctly under her referral. The first two jobs I applied for were through talent community as I normally would without a referral. Help, I’m so lost :(

Thoughts on becoming a "Growth & New Initiatives PM"?

I was a regular PM managing my own vertical and now have the opportunity for a new role in the org. No promo or cash related, just jurisdiction wise.

I'd be focusing on:
For old product-
-Free Trial
-automation
For new product-
-Building out from scratch
-UI/UX related user feedback
-sales and marketing focus
-use cases and features

Is this a good move career wise? Love being a PM and looking to grow.
Prefer new product > old
