I've been offered an entry-level SMB to MMB AE role. They're promising great growth for me over the years with a base salary of 40K. They're also trusting me with a huge deal as soon as I join. Something feels off about this whole offer, and IMHO the salary is way too low. I'm holding on to it because it's the only interview I've gotten after 6 months of trying. What do you all think?

That sounds awful all around. But it's an awful market, so maybe this helps you cut your teeth while you continue applying.

Take stories from this job, embellish a bit, and know the STAR method and you'll be able to BS your way into a much better low level job.

SDR inbound reps are making like 70k for us (don't quote me on that but it's close).
