Hi guys,
Several months ago I asked you about what is the most efficient way to begin my career in Tech Sales. This is my post:

I received many super valuable responses and thank you for this! The whole list of special thanks is below.
And now I have good news. I got a job offer!
Thank you, Bravado savages! You've given me so much inspiration and support! It's incredible!
- The good news is that the position in a big SaaS company.
- The bad news is that it's not Sales, but Marketing.
Thus, I'd like to ask you:
- What do you think, will I have a chance to move from Marketing to Sales inside a company?
- What should I do to move to the AE role (not SDR)?
Now let me share some statistics with you. My job search took 2.5 months, I applied for 89 positions. I had 11 job interviews:
- 4 for AE
- 4 for SDR
- 1 for Sales Enablement (thank you @Fnord for this idea!)
- 1 for Marketing
- 1 for Sales in Pharma
Interestingly, with all my huge experience in Pharma and Medical Devices, those companies totally ignored me. They are weird...
Well, my journey into SaaS Sales continues. And I will be grateful for your recommendations!
