Is it worth it to take a small paycut to get the title of AE? I have the opportunity to move into an AE role at 2 new startups but both would be about a 20% pay cut from what I expect to make this year. Is it worth it to take the jump and get the job title?

What's your title now?

Personally, after years at startups in a closing role, I joined a large company and an SDR and learned so much more than my whole career as an AE. I was promoted after 6 months but for me I had a better foundation. Chase good companies that have identity and are willing to train you. Experience as an AE doesn’t necessarily make you good. It’s the training you get. Play the long game

Does it guarantee you’d have more earning potential in the future? What are the pros of the job title versus what you have now?

In my opinion, titles are less important than accomplishments. Can you accomplish more as an AE? If you can then perhaps it’s worth it.

No

Titles don’t matter. Are you in sales now? Do you want to be in sales? If this move helps you make that transition it might be worth it if:

- you will learn new skills
- you will learn new industry / domain
- you can make more based on your performance

No for the title, probably no for “startup / stock “ talk track.

My sales lead just gave me my quota for the year. Its increased 120% from last year. I asked if my peers experienced the same increase and the answer is No because I have more experience and up for promo this year. Our bonuses are a % of quota achieved meaning it’s harder for me to get a bonus. Do you think this is fair? What would you do? For additional context, I crushed my quota last year but I feel like I’m being punished now.
