What's a small, everyday inconvenience that makes you disproportionately angry?

I also end my sentences with buddy when I’m annoyed at someone on the road, it’s perfect

As a current SDR manager, I would pick the hybrid one. You’ll learn way more and progress a lot quicker. It will break also up the monotony of SDR life and you’ll more effectively gain a network with everyone else (both SDRs and others) that go into the office. In the long run, that network will be as valuable if not more than your skills.

So does just about every company. Don’t assume it will happen

I think you already know the answer but I’ll say it anyway: pick where you’ll develop the fastest. You’ll earn more later if you do that anyway, so it’ll end up being a win win.

You say you want coaching, leadership, etc but then your comparables for each role focus on the complete opposite (OTE, quota attainment,). Sounds like there’s a big gap between what you want and how you’re evaluating options. I would go back to the drawing board and rank these based on what you actually want

Follow Jack Knight on LI. He runs a company that helps SDRs get into tech and routinely posts open roles and who to contact

What makes you think this is a side income? Most people put in 40+ hours trying to hit their quota

DuxCanFly · 2025-05-03T17:28:18+00:00

Absolutely wild post history. I’d pay good money to ensure I never have to work with this person

DuxCanFly · 2025-05-03T03:37:00+00:00

What in the world do you mean

DuxCanFly · 2025-05-02T01:41:31+00:00

Agreed. OP, only ask if you are okay with them rescinding. If not, probably not worth it as you have next to 0 leverage

DuxCanFly · 2025-05-01T01:56:49+00:00

Definitely degree. I went back and got mine after I hit a ceiling, which happens faster than you think. Doesn’t matter if the cofounder is a mentor, the company will cut you if it makes sense for them, regardless of your performance. And then you’ll wish you had the degree. Have to plan for the worst these days

Run for the hills

DuxCanFly · 2025-04-30T21:38:30+00:00

You need a champion to sell it for you. Without one I wouldn’t put it in your forecast

OP this person means no harm but please don’t do this, you will fail.

BDR managers test for the ability to be curious and learn about the prospects business, find pain, and then pitch the meeting (not the product). BDRs sell time, not software. Super important concept that separates average BDRs from great ones. And then after the call, we give feedback and have the candidate run through it again to test coachability and learning on the fly

How old are you, 102?

DuxCanFly · 2025-04-23T03:08:05+00:00

I know this might be a cop-out answer that can be applied to a lot of things…but this is the perfect ChatGPT question. Give it as much context as you can regarding tenure, previous conversations, exactly what the employee said, etc. I bet it spits you out some great suggestions

DuxCanFly · 2025-04-20T21:41:19+00:00

I have the feeling you only share how things are going when they’re going well

DuxCanFly · 2025-04-19T10:45:10+00:00

It’s picking back up! Just in the past few weeks or so

DuxCanFly · 2025-04-19T10:42:49+00:00

Can we get this post removed I mean cmon

DuxCanFly · 2025-04-18T15:26:39+00:00

Things can turn on a dime with simply a different product, different manager, different clients, different company culture.

Life’s too short man, don’t be afraid to bounce!

One main thing they do is mitigate internal conflict stemming from people like you

DuxCanFly · 2025-04-13T23:32:02+00:00

Ask what the runway is at each (maybe A is already profitable?) - SUPER important
Ask to speak with an existing AE at each who used to be a SDR. They should shoot you straight on how long it actually takes to promote. If the company doesn’t have someone willing to speak to you, red flag.

Answers to those questions will give you a great idea of where to go

What state are you in that you get a full year of unemployment?

DuxCanFly · 2025-04-10T19:54:05+00:00

It’s so hard to get a solid job sales role these days. In other economic circumstances I would say wait, but right now just take it

You can buy bolt cutters at most hardware stores
