What are some signs a AAE is ready to move up to an AE level position? I’ve been at it for a year and am wanting to make a change, but I’m not sure if I’m ready yet

What’s the criteria where you work? Your manager should be able to provide you with a list of skills you need to move up. If they don’t think you’ve met that, then it’s their job to tell you and and get you the experience you need.

First step— tell your manager you want to get to the next level and ask them what the roadmap to get there looks like. They should absolutely be able to answer that.

First, read the job description of the AE level, and make sure your work product from the last 6 months has met those standards. Have you worked on/mastered 80-95% of the responsibilities in the job description?

Next, think critically about any constructive feedback you received at your last review. How are you addressing any feedback you received - have you made adjustments to your work/work style?

If you’re happy with how you’ve answered these two questions, I say go for it!

Hi all -
Sorry for the long rant, but could use advice or just encouragement.

Got laid off for the first time in my career 3 weeks ago. I have 10 years of PM experience (mostly ecommerce & experimentation). I was fortunate in the past to have had recruiters scout me directly so this is the first time in over a decade that I am applying to everything that I’m qualified for, mostly qualified for, and way over qualified for with zero leads. Only 3 interviews thus far that didn’t go forward.

For those of you in healthcare related account management, what is your healthcare background? I am clinical and getting ready to hire a higher level account manager. I am really biased toward people with clinical/in hospital experience because, quite frankly, healthcare is a different beast - lots of hand holding and change management. I don’t want to miss the right person because of my bias, so im wondering how many healthcare related AMs have healthcare/clinical experience… thanks in advance!
