I think it could, but you should also be looking at beefing up your background in tech. Do you have any prior experience that can go toward that end?

I do not. This potential role selling data analytics would be my stepping stone.

Potentially. Especially if you're still diligent with your networking, it's indirect experience that could pair well with the right referral down the line.

Fellow enterprise tech sales fish, I’m interested to hear your perspective. I’ve been in a rut lately and seriously considering leaving sales. I think it’s primarily fueled by one thing:
After a 6 mo cycle I closed a large deal (4x the average deal size) prior to receiving delayed 2022 comp plans. The deal counts as a 2022 deal. On last years comp plan it would’ve paid out at 10%. This year it pays out at a measly 4%.

Looking to move from enterprise SDR to AM/AE externally. Current comp is $50k base,$70k ote but actually hitting 90-95k. Every AE role I see pays 50k/50k(including my company).
