Hello! Looking at an opportunity with established startup in UK that's just been acquired by a large co. I'm US based and my salary is around $250k (NYC) -I've been asked my expectation without the startup giving me a range to work from (though I've asked). I'm not sure how to reply to them because I have a feeling that my requirement may be out of their range and while I don't want to undercut my value, I also don't want to be cut out of the process because it's an interesting co. Any advice?

What are your financial and career goals as a BDR/SDR?

What’s the best way to transition into tech sales?

I have 3 years of consulting (2.5 at EY, .5 at boutique) in finance and analytics. I’m struggling on looking for roles because I’m afraid I will go down in comp (currently base 105)

I’d like to transition from consulting and corporate strategy/dev to sales and business development…

Selling was a part of my experience thus far but I don’t have formal sales credentials.

How do I find out which part (SDR,BDR, etc.) I’d be best at?

A+ Network, interpersonal relationship building is my best skill, 5y consulting experience, NYC.

Advice appreciated. Ping me if you could use someone like me on your team.

What are usually kpi in companies like salesforce for example?
