Which role would be a natural transition from account management? Especially if one wanted to move to the product side (tech)?
Has anyone here had that experience? Which tech companies are open to interviewing folks from agencies.

I wish I knew. Been trying to get into tech for 5 years. Everyone I know who works in tech says “oh we’d totally hire you! We love people from agencies!” But every time I apply, it’s crickets.

Yeah, even then they require you to have at least 2-3 years of full sales cycle experience as well as experience with some software. Requirements are going through the roof for these roles.

👋 stay optimistic! I spent eight years in the agency game before taking an in-house account role at a big tech (product) company. The opportunities are out there, so consider narrowing your list to those companies with an in-house agency setup. That might ease the transition.

Negatory. No sales experience required, just agency account management.
