Enterprise BDR positions, some SDR and BDR positions pay generally $70-$110k OTE. You could also shoot for AE positions which start at $120k-$150k OTE. This is in SaaS

Look at some SaaS companies manufacturing verticals. That's generally where the EV companies will sit. Your domain experience and understanding challenges of the customer would definitely be intriguing and get you a bite somewhere.

You’ll probably have to start as an SDR unless you have extensive experience in a particular vertical. SDRs can pull in 85+ though at the right spots. Compgauge is another resource to view sales salaries as well.

To be an account executive you usually have to have B2B experience....if you want to get your feet wet in tech SDRs are in high demand..pay is around 40-60k base but you get OTE based on your performance which can vary between 20-40k...usually all you need is a bachelor's degree for SDR...but I do health insurance and there's money there too but it's a hustle because you have to find your own clients to be successful BUT when you are independent you get mailbox money as long as your clients are your clients year after year and you also make your own hours..Medical sales reps get paid good too and usually you just need a bachelor's degree. You can also be an entry level recruiter as they make around 50k base and they get commission.

Newbie here, what is SDR?

My old employer asked me if I wanted to come back to the company as a manager. The pay will likely be much better and the position holds more responsibility than I’ve had before, so overall it would be a step up. The issue is I left the company because of an abusive manager who constantly put me down and made me feel like I wasn’t doing anything right. If I come back I’d be working under her again. I’m torn because the opportunity is great but the stress was awful. Continued in comments…

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?

Asking for a friend:
My friend received two job offers for Account Executive roles: a Mid-Market role with Confluent and an Enterprise role with ThoughtSpot. He’s conflicted because Confluent is a more established company, ThoughtSpot is Pre-IPO. Confluent is a lucrative product to sell and has established SDR reps so there’s a good blend of inbound and outbound sales. Thoughtspot is more of a startup culture where most of the sales comes from outbound and it’s a tougher sell.

I wasn’t looking to move, but that higher end range would set my family up very nicely for our goals. But I am happy at my current company. Help?
