I've been a high-performing SDR and hitting my numbers (120%+) for a year. I'm anxious to move up to the AE level, but everyone says I need at least 18 months, but I feel ready now. Am I jumping the gun by applying for AE roles so early?

6 months isn’t that much longer if you are already at a year. That being said, you can start now and see what happens. If it’s an internal policy, that can be harder to navigate.

You might not get every AE role you apply for yet, but starting the process now is smart. Even if you do not land your first attempt, the interview feedback should show you what skills you still need to work on.

You’re not jumping the gun, you’re just impatient in a good way. Apply anyway. If you can sell products, you can sell yourself.
