Per the title, was an AE at a small (dying) fintech company and had less than 1 year of AE experience, closed a few deals avg $30k, and was laid off with the rest of the sales team a few months ago. Didn't get a lot of training and was treading water most of the time, leadership had poorly defined processes.
Been very hard to get past 1st or 2nd rounds of interviews, and recently been hard to even get a yes to an interview.
Is it worth it to take a step back to a BDR but at a larger company where I can get a job (I like to not starve) but get some actual structured AE training where I have a chance to actually hit quota?
Thanks!
