In a week, I'll be "promoted" from an Enterprise SDR to a SMB/MidMarket Account Manager with no base pay (45k) or OTE (65k) increase.
According to the sales director, the other account managers are paid the same as the SDRs (I know, it doesn't make ANY sense.) and the promotions weren't budgeted last year. He hinted at potential pay raises at some point upcoming but nothing definitive.
On the one hand, I'm grateful to be promoted just after 5 months in my first SDR role. It will also give me valuable experience with the full sales cycle. However, it feels like I'm being undercut substantially from what the market dictates for the position.
What are your thoughts? Any advice?
