I’m currently an ‘Inside Sales Rep’ at a data company, but I’m really a mid market account executive as I run the full sales cycle for any account >5000 employees in North America but I want to go to a different company, either in tech or health tech, as a SMB or Mid-Market AE. I’ve been struggling to find good companies, roles, connections to even apply to in order to move up into a new position. Any advice would be appreciated on how best to target these companies and get a foot in the door.

It sounds like you need to launch a serious brainstorming and research project. Think about companies you know you'd like to work for, and then search for who their main competitors are. That will give you a basket of companies you might want to target. Or, do some reading and research on companies that seem to be doing a lot of business and may be on the upswing. Those are ones that might be looking to do some hiring. Digging into financial articles, quarterly earnings reports, and other data might give you some good direction.

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals. I asked ppl at my agency but haven’t gotten a proper explanation. I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .
