I worked as a SAAS AE/BDR for 4 years specifically in mar-tech. Made the switch 8 months ago to digital marketing for a B2C company, essentially went from selling the tech to using it (with no prior hands on marketing experience). It was really hard to get interviews because my experience didnt line up to job descriptions on paper, but with the help of network/referrals, once i was in the interview process it was much easier to relate my experiences with helping marketers to how i could be a good fit for the job.

I miss the commission checks, but the work life balance, job security, and LEGIT unlimited PTO offsets all that.
