I’ve worked in sales for 12 years (8 years retail sales and management, 4 years inside tech sales and management). I’m feeling the burn and looking for something else in the tech field. I’m making $140k. I have a college degree but no marketing, engineering, or product experience. What other departments/jobs could I jump to and still keep close to my OTE? I’m pretty good at Salesforce and have thought about a SFDC admin type role, but that’s all I’ve thought of so far.

You should check out Sales Roles / Team Lead Roles within big tech - usually within Amazon and AWS you can pivot quite easily after 2 years if you choose to work on side projects related to the field you want to go into. You get 20% of your time to work on those usually.
With your YOE you should definitely be above 180k at any US location if you enter as L6 and above 250k if you enter as L7.

Thanks for the tip! Does L6/L7 mean level 6/7? And when you say enter, that means enter into a new department/position after 2 years of sales work, is that correct?

What about sales training or consulting?

like

Sales Strategy, Enablement or Sales ops roles are good roles to pivot towards from an AE type role.
