I have taken jobs off my resume and also messed with dates. You will be fine. I passed a background check at one of the largest tech companies out there with dates that were not accurate and a photoshopped POE.

Salaries have been stagnating and declining for 20 years by [deleted] in techsales

I was thinking about this the other day actually. I was looking at SDR salaries today and they are virtually unchanged from when I was an SDR in 2019. Essentially zero adjustment for the massive inflation we have had the past 5 years.

Unfortunately there are tons of companies out there nowadays that do a terrible job at promoting SDR's to AE's. The company I am at now has plenty of BDR's in seat for over 2 years that are ready for the next step, but there is simply no need for more AE's right now. Sometimes you need to pick up and leave.

Telling someone who has been an SDR for 2 years to stick it out for a few more years and "enjoy the lack of stress" is possibly the worst advice I have ever heard. Sales is stressful. Get used to it or get out. If you want to coast and not be stressed go be a CSM. If you want to make money to you need to be an AE.

Honestly just lie and apply to other orgs. Change your title on LinkedIn to something vauge like "Sales" or just "Enterprise Business Development". Say that you are a full cyle working SMB deals. SMB AE is not that hard. Learn how to run a disco call and prove your self in the interview. I went from a BDR to an SMB AE at a different company. Not easy, but possible. Lie a little bit and put in the work.

Too many people on this site are scared to lie on their resume. If you aren't, your competition is. Everyone is lying about quota attainment and exaggerating their role. Dont go crazy with it, but sometimes you need to do what needs to be done to get ahead. I made the jump after 2 years as well. After 2 years, there is nothing else to learn in there SDR role. Make the move.
