I've seen a lot of people mention it's usually best to make it to AE before switching companies... I'm still unsure if I should stick around as an SDR at my current gig. Looking for some advice.
In the 2nd (more senior) SDR role at my company, but promotions only happen twice/year. Next cycle (Q2'23), I'll have been in this role for 1y (1y9m at company total).
I'm doing relatively well (hit quota last quarter), but there are ~8 SDRs competing for anywhere b/t 2-4 spots (unknown), and not getting promoted means waiting another 6 months. My thinking: if I stick around, I'll have made it too far to jump ship... if I make a move now, there won't be a huge difference in timing to an AE position.
What would you do in this scenario?
