Looking for some advice as an SDR looking to become an AE later on. Currently working at a SaaS company selling to marketing teams. Later on, I'd love to work as an AE for a more technical product, things that I've been interested in are companies like Snowflake, Google Cloud, Merge, Varonis, etc. But, I'd also like to "graduate" from the SDR role as quickly as I can for financial reasons. Would it be better for my long-term career for me to look towards pivoting towards a technical company once a healthy amount of time has passed at my current one (don't want to be seen as a job hopper), or is it better to focus on becoming an AE in this current SaaS vertical and then try to transition to a more technical product later on in my career?
