Interested to hear the experiences and perspectives of others on this. As an SDR, what is a fair expectation to move up into an AE role timeline wise? Understanding a lot of factors are at play, this is my situation. Emerging startup looking to go public soon. No clear promotion plan in place. Has hit meeting quota and revenue goal for 3 straight quarters (full time of employment). Recently moved into senior SDR role where I’ve maintained additional pipeline responsibilities beyond initial schedule, as well as serving as mentor and team lead on SDR team. SDR team is around 20-25 deep with around 15-20 AEs.
There are more tenured SDRs who consistently crush their goal and would like to be AEs that have been an SDR for close to two years so the part of no clear promotion structure is what is concerning to me.
