Looking for general advice on where to take my career next and make the same if not more. I currently work at Salesforce in an AE role and I’m on pace to make $280-300K. I enjoyed being a CSM more than an AE but it doesn’t pay as much. I feel stuck!

For a CSM role?

There aren't many, if any sales-adjacent roles that pay as well as AE, except when comparing a smaller company to a fortune 50.

Interesting! I worked at SAP and am in a Customer success type of role. I’m making about 250k I’m trying to get into AE roles.
