I have three years of AE experience, and one year of SaaS experience. My current wages are way under market value (40k base / 70K OTE???) but I took the role so I could get some verifiable SaaS experience. Anyways it's time to make the jump. I paid for a resume / linkedin service and it all looks great, I've been getting tons of inbound from recruiters but nothing especially promising.
As for my question: should I just go on Compgauge / RepVue, filter SMB and Mid market organizations, sort by highest base pay (Or OTE), and just blast out applications to the top 30-50 companies on each list? Should I be reaching out to hiring managers and recruiters in these orgs directly? both?
I have some preferred industries but all I really care about is that I get a role in Tech/Saas, and that I get as much $$$$$$ as possible. What's the ideal course of action here?
