So I’ve been laid off since Feb23 looking for my next AE role. In my most recent role I was a senior AE for the commercial Segment. Since I was laid off I’ve interviewed with 10s of companies for AE roles but they all rejected me. I seem to have ran out of companies to apply for. The only company who's now on the verge of giving me an offer is a FinTech company and the role is a BDR role, however strangely it pays more than the AE position in that company! and as much as I was getting paid as a senior AE in my most recent company. I'm very tempted to go for it due to needing the money desperately but the thought of being a BDR when the past 7 years I've been in closing roles is a super strange thought!
Has anyone been thorough this before ans how did you deal with it?
