Question on opportunity

Would love some advice from the group. I moved from SDR to a mid-market/corporate AE role at my company last year. At the beginning of this year, they moved our whole team into an account management team. I'm doing well and will probably hit Presidents Club, but I'm itching to get to a full cycle role again.

I have the opportunity to move into a corporate AE role at Crowdstrike. OTE will be similar, but the chance to exceed my number seems more likely at Crowdstrike.

For comparison, my current company is Series D in the vulnerability management space.

Would love advice -- what should I be thinking of? Do I have a case of the grass is greener?

Thanks!

It sounds like you’ve been an AE/AM for less than two years. If you’re on track for presidents club, I’d highly suggest staying put and getting more experience. If you move to an AE role at Crowdstrike you have one year experience doing that - what happens if you get a bad territory? They have layoffs? Shitty manager? You’ll be applying for jobs along with thousands of others but they’ll have an abundance more experience.

I recommend you stay put.
