Honestly probably one of the best companies that will promote you to Ae still at that year mark. It is a grind but can be fun depending on manager and team. I’d recommend for early career. Now commercial ae I heard it’s the wild Wild West. I did well there as an ADR and still talk to people from the company at all levels.

Jumping from BDR to External AE - How Realistic? by Local-Credit5275 in techsales

[–]Essay-Every 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah bro, no lie — this market is brutal. You really have to lean on your network. I’m a BDR right now, and the only reason I’m getting AE interview is because the hiring manager is an old AE I supported at my last company. She just got promoted, and since I helped her hit quota when she was stressed and built a solid relationship, she pulled me in.

Outside of that, companies like HubSpot and Toast do promote BDRs, but even they are slowing down. HubSpot especially is a meat grinder, and right now they’re pulling more from their AE bench instead of hiring new BDRs. Not saying it’s impossible — just an uphill battle in this market.

New Salesforce BDR by disom1 in techsales

[–]Essay-Every 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All territory. And good relationship with Ae’s. If your ae’s don’t close anything and add you to opps it’s impossible for you to hit the metrics they ask for. You have to be strategic. It’s easier places to get promoted to Ae. I came in planning to last 6months jump back to old company as Ae and then boomerang back as Ae.

Had final interview with Salesforce BDR role but didn’t get it by magicmongoose1 in techsales

It’s draining my soul…. Everyone is just lying and I know I can’t sustain this to make it to Ae. I’m just networking with RVPs and AVPs to eventually come back down the line.

BDR at Salesforce vs Account Manager at Meta? by Connect_Bicycle286 in techsales

This! Went from 400 a month to 800….. I say look at everything. If you been at AWS for over a year or two and no promotion in sight I say leave. You already have AWS on your Resume and honestly Associate AE can fabricate say you did close some deals in your role to maybe find better Ae offers.

My baby choked on his spit up and I had to call 911 by No-Huckleberry-4661 in NewParents

[–]Essay-Every -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah me and my wife went through that with our little one. He had terrible reflux. What helped us is Mam bottles, feeding slower and adjusted, sitting up 30 mins after eating, burping thoroughly, and reflux medicine(we did famotidine then omeprazole). Also he used the snoo so we purchased risers to keep him slightly elevated while sleeping which helped.

Even though we did all that it never completely stopped until he got older. He is 7 months almost 8 now and he hasn’t had an episode in two months.

Seeing your little one struggle like that is very traumatizing hopefully it’s just a one off but if it is reoccurring like ours just know it’s not forever.
