I am burned out working as an SDR. I work for a small Tech startup and have been trying to plot on a way to become a Sales Engineer. I love Tech Sales, just not a fan of cold calling anymore. I really enjoy interacting with people and can easily grasp new technology. How do I transition? I would really like to hear from people who made the pivot to Sales Engineer from an SDR if you exist out there. All Ideas are welcome!

Hi All

I got a decent offer from a competitive company ( in my domain ) and my current company countered that.

Never been in an SE or consulting or B2B sales role before but have a referral at Salesforce and have been in some informal conversations. I’m starting to freak out a bit now that maybe I can’t do it. I have a tech background so can handle that part, but perhaps strategy may be difficult.

Hello, anyone who worked or who's working at Hashicorp. How is it for a Sales Engineer?

Anyone feel frustrated at times with the super aggressive sales personalities we deal with? My AE is always pushing on every ask no matter how minuscule it is. My vp is super anal about anything we do. I understand these guys pull in huge commissions and bonuses that’s why they are so motivated. However what I personally feel is they just nag us until we do the job according to their spec. Just venting……anyone else feel the same?

I feel like I was straight up lied to during the interview process. “lots of opportunities to hit quota”. I’m sitting here with only one demo two months after joining the company. it looks like our team has only two people doing demos, and demos are only happening once every two weeks. At this rate, I don’t think I’ll be even close to hitting OTE. Are there any other companies hiring right now? I’ll have a discussion about my concerns with my manager soon, but there’s too many red flags here.
