If you came from audit, a few years.

If you started out of undergrad, leave as a senior 1 or senior 2.

9 months as a senior 1 is pretty much a senior 2. I view senior 1 as like 0-6 months. But I generally agree with your points otherwise.

I’d say experienced senior then exit out to manager level or experienced manager at the very latest and push for director or senior manager in the industry.

If you exit out to the industry too early, aka senior 1 or earlier, it may be hard/slow to get to management later on.

I’ve worked in sales for 12 years (8 years retail sales and management, 4 years inside tech sales and management). I’m feeling the burn and looking for something else in the tech field.

I’m pretty good at Salesforce and have thought about a SFDC admin type role, but that’s all I’ve thought of so far.
