Young 25 year old bilingual French in Security Sales as an SDR. Making 200% of my number on average. Company doesn’t have a clear path as a next step and I’ve been in the role for a year. I am hungry and continue to study and learn. Company has good culture, But 80k OTE sounds light for my investment. Currently speaking with upper-level management to create a path.
Any advice?

Assuming become an AE is your goal, make sure you nail down a realistic timeline with your upper leadership, and hold both you and them accountable to the goals you set.

If you are looking for a fast-tracked path, turn to startups. I know Verkada, Okta and a few others have an “associate account executive” program that trains you and puts you in the hot seat for 6 months to come out as a solid AE. Essentially an SDR, but with a solid timeline set out

80k OTE isn’t bad and if you’re doing 200% that’s good money for only 1 year as an SDR. Make sure there is a career path and you know what is expected of you but don’t rush it. It takes time to learn all the shit you learn as an SDR.

Even though it meant starting at the bottom, I took this role for the opportunity it would provide, as my previous industry didn’t have growth potential.
A role just opened up on a CSM team that would be a much better fit— the official policy is that you stay in your role for 12 months before moving. Should I apply for the CSM opening anyway? What would you do?
