Should I wait out this market or jump ship?

Question

First off, shoutout to everyone in this community, you guys rock.

In my previous post I asked if I should aim to become an AE at another company with only having SDR experience. The horror stories I'm reading now about AE's being put on pip and being laid off makes me wonder if it's even worth it.

We restructured at my current company so the compensation plan is good, however no clear career path. Becoming an SDR elsewhere seems pointless because I hit a learning ceiling by only booking meetings.

What would you do in my shoes, stay at my current company until the job market clears with better opportunities or still look for a role regardless of market conditions.

Accepted Answer

Why not test the waters, the market isn't the best so it will take longer to receive an offer.

Answer

If you lack the confidence then you won't succeed regardless of the market. If you're happy enough where you're at, then stay in your lane.

Answer

There's nothing wrong with looking and applying to roles you're interested in. You can then make a qualified decision about an offer when it happens.

Answer

Still look for a role regardless. You never know you might end up getting what you always wanted. Never stop!

Answer

Always be looking on the down low. Companies ain't loyal friend.

Answer

you can always apply. you're not obligated to jump :)

Answer

always have a line out there to see what gets reeled in.

Answer

If you lack confidence you will not succeed no matter what the market is like. If youre happy enough where you are stay that way.
