Looking for AE role after 19 months at current company - as both SDR and promoted to AE. Advice?

I have been at my company (SaaS/DaaS for about 19 months and was promoted to AE back in late August 2023. Any advice for outlets besides LinkedIn for jobs, or activities that should be taken to get the next role?

Use your network, find opps that way and try to get some help in the door.

1.) what kind of network have you built?

2.) Who are your competitors, have you applied to them yet?

3.) Have you identified the companies you would ideally like to go to?

this is the best stating point.

The more specific you can be with the type of company you want to work for the better off you will be.
So really think about what you are looking for, what are deal breakers for you and what are just nice to haves.

Network and referrals are always your best bet. Why do you want to move on?

You still don't have a ton of AE experience, it may behoove you to stick around longer.

Thatโ€™s right. Not even a year - it will be much better to have more time/longevity under your belt, along with attainment.

Have you sold to any companies you admire / are interesting to you / doing well?
Worth exploring whether they are expanding.
