Hey squad,
My BDR manager who I've been working with for 16 months and is one of my closest friends left the company to become an Enterprise AE elsewhere.
I've been an SDR for 13 months here (about to get Series B funding, 100 employees) and been promoted to Sr. SDR and Team lead, but there are no rep roles open and the new SDR manager made it clear that the closest timeline is Feb of 2023, and it's not even guaranteed(based on conditions, existing reps and how the segment is doing).
I've got an offer for a full cycle SMB AE 120k OTE and good equity at a Fortune 50 company with a great product and team. I love my current team, but there has been so much change and friction. I feel bad because I'm the team glue at this point and everybody relies on me and leadership is doing everything they can to take my feedback and make it actionable for the SDR team. At this point, I just want to make $ and close deals and I don't think my current role can help me with that.
I know that they will try to counter me with something since they just gave me a pay raise to keep me around and have started getting leadership to notice what I'm contributing, but I don't think the pay will be close and they won't be able to make me a rep.
To my savages: Thoughts? Should I take the offer and run?
TLDR: took the job, starting at June 6, thank you sales savages!
