I have seen this at the last two companies now where there are SDRs that want to become AE's but the AE roles are ENT roles and there really is no shot for them to get it.
In both cases I have worked with the SDR to help sharpen their skills, and be as prepared for an AE role as possible.
in one case the SDR went to another company and currently this SDR is trying to figure out what to do.
Ive been telling this SDR that the best move might be to leave the company to get an AE role in the future.
They are hopeful that an AE role will become available.
Has anyone else come across this? what advice would you give to the SDR??
