Dear bravado
Im currently a BDR at Salesforce ( BDA->SDR->BDR -> Sr BDR )
Spent 4.7 years overall.
As an SDR i was majorly taking care of qualifying inbound sales/service interest.
As an BDR im responsible to open Marketing automation requirements
I do not have visibility on being an AE for the next 1.3 years. Most tenured.
I got approached by Snowflake for a BDR role with a 30% hike, would it be wrong to consider BDR role again?
Current thought process :
- No internal visibility, have to fight, no sal hikes
- No extra learning curve internally
- I should apply for AE roles outside
- If i consider snowflake i will make more money (100%) but my access to AE role can be delayed by 2-2.5 years
- Im also getting married, should i make such professional moves?
- Will i be a bdr for-ever i take up the bdr path
What is the best career move to do?
- Wait it out, fight internally/ externally for AE
- Take the BDR role outside, make more money, learn a new product and hope to crack the AE path eventually at snowflake
P.S : I love prospecting, im doing 120% MOM, im dependable, trust-worthy, team player and love helping peers, been a sf lover for a long time but i feel a little stuck now
