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?

Ask your manager if the company has a pathway to AE....6 months is really not alot of time from what I see on AE application requirements...I would go to your company's career section and find an AE job and see what their expectations are when it comes to how many years of experience...if your manager tell you there is no pathway in place to be an AE or just give you some random excuse then you may be wasting your time.

Have you talk to your manager about how long can take you to become an AE? Put the idea on the table. Mention your interest. Usually the SDR program in companies take between 8-12 months to move to AE. Good luck:)

Such a good idea. I have. Doesn’t seem like I could progress within 12 months due to our company just IPO in the last year. That’s what makes me wonder if I should move.

There are many new players in your space that would value your experience at Global-e, why not apply for AE roles at some pre-IPO companies? I have no idea what your OTE is but feel free to DM me curious if it be aligns more with SaaS or a fulfillment 3PL retention/growth pay structure

If you want to know what the market thinks, go interview for AE jobs. The worst that can happen is you'll learn what you need to do to become one.

It’s starting to distract me in my current job though and can’t let it go.

Hello, fellow newbie here 😀
Was wondering if yall know of any remote sales jobs with a good starting base salary? I'm doing great at my current role selling senior health insurance (76k give or take a year) but I know I'm capable of selling at a higher commission range. My calls at my last company were all cold (around 100 a day). I got job offers as a recruiter and also a few SDR offers but both fields the base is under 45k. I have a four year degree and one year of sales experience. Thank you

Looking for input . My company's policy has always been to pay out on rollover PTO when you leave the company. My last day was Jan 8th, and I had 10 days from 2020 I was supposed to be paid on. I talk to my manager and a VP in HR, and they both confirmed I would be paid on the PTO in my Jan 15th paycheck. However, I was not paid and when I emailed about it I was told there was a PTO policy change in April of 2020 and the company no longer pays on carry over PTO...
