I’ve been in inside/outside roles 7+ yrs in Real Estate & have led sales/development on large residential developments for luxury new construction & assist buyers, sellers, investors. Now both my kids are in school FT I don’t need flex hours & prefer not to work weekends. I’d like to be in AE role where I can build a career I’m proud of with more stability. But it seems like the only path to be an AE is through the SDR route. Any ideas on companies open to non SaaS work history in Chicagoland?

Greenhouse Software is pretty good with Non-related history hiring. If not they also have Enterprise SDR roles that are higher salaried and could be a good starting point. Also levels of SDR (I,II, & III).

Thank you!

You can probably jump directly to an AE route with Y years of sales experience.

I’ve been applying but little to no bites. I hired Top Resume to write my resume and CL. Maybe I need a 2nd opinion on it.

Have you tried connecting with people on LinkedIn? You can also get in touch with a headhunter or search on indeed as well.

You should do some sort of construction sales especially with your contacts. HVAC, fire protection, elevator service etc.

Any disagreement/any other things I should consider before deciding?
