I’ve got 10 years of inside sales experience as a top producer, and I feel ready to pivot into a B2B or SaaS AE role ($60k to $75k base). After three weeks and 25 applications, I have had zero callbacks, and it's getting frustrating. Am I looking in the wrong places? Are there specific industries that actually value an inside sales background?

Did you try phoning the recruiter directly?

Crazy part is that’s weird. I have no inside sales experience and it’s hard but I see a lot of people that do have inside sales experience or some type of sales experience get in. Guess it would probably just depend on which companies you’re getting into and how are you contact them or try to get in contact with them. Applying and hoping that your background is gonna carry you. I don’t think that’s gonna work no matter what SDR job.

Try spectrum!

Spectrum ? Their pay is lower than whale excrement!!!!

Team just applied for a TS Clearance (defense agency). Trying to assess if it makes sense to wait till the clearance comes through (6 months to a year?) before I job hop. I'm hoping to get some clarity on the following:
1. Can my company withdraw or cancel my clearance if I leave right after I secure a TS?
2. In terms of compensation, how much value (% compensation) does a TS clearance have in the DC area? Places I'm considering: AWS, Azure, GCP, Data bricks, Appian etc.
Any advice, thanks!

Looking to get into SaaS sales but my experience is in construction and fine furniture (I was a sales manager and was able to lead my team of 4 people to consistently hit 450k monthly targets).
