I never understood why some salespeople don’t like marketing people.

Until I noticed they form the majority of those on LinkedIn who post or engage with content that bashes salespeople for sending them cold outreach. As if their own company’s sales teams don’t also do the exact same thing.

I love them but sometimes their team can get out of touch with the sales department even with weekly meetings

Marketing often fails to live in the real world. Their “solutions” are often impractical and would get laughed out of the room if you presented to a customer.

The best organisations I have seen treat marketing and sales as one team. When they understand each other's pressures, the relationship is completely different.

And no talks of a promotion / raise..

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?
