So I am a P Club Biz seller in a fortune 50 company, landed very large accounts for my small/midmarket/enterprise AE role. Sales cycles may be transactional 7 days or up to 6+ months.
I make almost 200k and probably more this year. So BDR/SDR is impossible to do... and most AE roles do not pay this either.
I would like to find a larger Sale / larger paying job.
However, I cannot find a role that pays more because every SaaS recruiter will not offer anyone a AE role that pays well without experience. Yet they will hire the SaaS Vet with 15 companies under his belt in 5 years, just because they get paid for someone with SaaS experience.
”Hey, just think of your future. You may take 2 steps back but in 3-5 years your 4-5 steps ahead....” no I’m basically where I’m started and I lost a lot of money over that time.
if we want to move out of AE it’s management that pays less and adds stress, to make more money or move up in the world, we’re not qualified.
How do we get out of this never ending circle of sales death, especially if we’re in the top 1% now.
( please do not comment - take the step back to move forward or anything along the lines of that Devaluing Bs 🤮 )
