^How was your bonus JPM
Microsoft is hiring an account executive and I’m really interested in the role. I have B2B sales experience in a different industry, but my skills include lead generation, prospecting, account management, negotiating, etc (all within the C Suite and other decision makers).
Would appreciate knowing if this is something I have a shot at with no tech sales experience and what I could expect for promotional opportunities and compensation.
Thanks for the help!

That has happened at my company. Internal job descriptions don’t match external. For market data, salary equivalence use your prior title, aka external job description, or based on role and responsibilities find an equivalent.
Coach
Yes. It gets frustrating a bit.
I look up similar jobs to mine with similar responsibilities on Glassdoor. That's been the closest I've been able to find in terms of market research. It may not be exactly perfect because there isn't always a standardized job description across companies, but it'll get you very close.
Coach
I hope it’ll provide accurate info. Thanks
What’s your new work title and responsibilities? What industry are you in?
Coach
Generally - I’m in the HQ/ back office process for a financial firm. Responsible for creating and maintaining processes and info in our internal systems.
I hate when you can't find any info online. If they changed your title to something internal, I would honestly write the job description myself. I think that is all you can do in that type of situation.
Coach
That’s an interesting take. Thanks
