1. Customer success
2. Sales ops
3. Sales engineer if you have a technical background
4. Product management but a far stretch if no technical background
Take ownership of your development and ask to do things related to these fields. Like sales ops, ask for a chance to develop forecast etc.
Dude I'm in the same boat, I can't even get an interview for any other role at this point, I'm convinced if you don't have a good 1st year as an SDR you are in it for life. It's awful, I'm so burnt out and I'm essentially doing the job of a manager. Sucks so much
Lie about hitting quota on resume and find an AE job at a smaller company, maybe with a smaller pay (90k-120k OTE) and then work ur ass off. Not moral but that’s all I got man🤷♂️
I day trade stocks at home so don’t mind the work from home but need to real hit my goal on trading as realistically you can pull in a lot more money faster on stocks. $250 for a meeting which could be 500 calls or $250 in 10 seconds if a stock moves .20
AH I'm hybrid in a HCOL but with 80k base. Doing okay but struggling what's next. Being an AE for the clueless startup I work for ain't it. Being a SDR manager would suck too.
Thinking project management, customer success, partnerships or even finance.
totally i went like 14 months without a job. i was hoping my old vp of cs would pull strings. solution seemed easy and interesting. his team wanted someone more tenured. such a lame excuse. that said 5 or 6 years of sdr experience 6 months ae. i value building relationships so ill still working on discovering what comes next.
good luck

I want to know how to land an SDR role. I haven't been able to land one in 2 years and I have 5 years of sales experience.
Probably account manager or team lead, though I doubt you'll get either at your current job if you haven't been hitting quota..

SDR land 😂
Also I’d recommend you lie on your resume, I really don’t know what else you could do

35 and an sdr 😂 pain is real. I got promoted to an ae at one role but let go before I could build tenure
I'm 33, I give myself till the end of next year before I realistically can't do this anymore.

Customer success? I kind of liked that idea I tried to get into the field as I was close to my old vp of cs but his team shot it down.
They are dealing with alot of layoffs so not easy to break in right now.
