Hi - I've been an SDR for just over 3 years at two startups (1 unicorn) and have always lead the pack for the team for nearly every single quarter. Been promoted & received pay bumps. I've built a very positive reputation and have been told from multiple people that I can close today, and do it well. For both companies the promise of moving into a closing role have been dissolved due to layoffs / restructuring & removing SMB/commercial AE teams.
I'd rather not take another stab at being an sdr that turns into an AE role if all things go well. I'm ready, I've been preparing and shadowing since day one - just looking for advice for those who have been in a similar position?
Covid & a "looming recession" sucks.
