About sales roles
Sales pay structures matter as much as the base salary — ask about OTE (on-target earnings), quota, commission accelerators, and ramp-up. SDR/BDR roles are entry-level; AE is the first quota-carrying role; AM is post-sale.
Typical skills: CRM (Salesforce/HubSpot), outbound prospecting, discovery questions, objection handling
Salary insights (US, rough)
Typical range for sales roles in the US is $50,000–$250,000/year, varying widely with seniority, company stage, and city.
Estimates only. For company-specific numbers, check levels.fyi (tech), Glassdoor, or ask in the interview.
How to prep for the interview
Sales interviews almost always include a role-play: the interviewer pretends to be a prospect, and you have to walk through discovery, qualification, and a hand-off to the next step. Prepare 5–6 great discovery questions and practice them out loud — they should sound natural, not scripted.
Also expect: "Walk me through your last quota / how did you hit it" (numbers, not vibes), "Tell me about a deal you lost — why?", and "How do you handle a prospect who ghosts you?" For SDR / BDR roles, expect a cold-call or cold-email exercise. Ask early about OTE breakdown, ramp period, and quota attainment across the team — those answers tell you whether the role is actually achievable.
Where this role typically leads
Sales is the most ladder-clear function: SDR / BDR (entry, outbound) → AE (full-cycle, quota carrier) → Senior AE → Enterprise AE / Strategic AE → Sales Manager → Director / VP Sales. Some great AEs deliberately stay IC for the OTE — top enterprise AEs at SaaS companies regularly clear $400k+ without ever managing.
The make-or-break transition is SDR → AE: it usually takes 12–18 months as an SDR, and you have to be aggressive about asking for the move. After AE, the next big jump is moving from mid-market to enterprise deals (longer cycles, bigger ACVs, more political). Sales management is a different job — many top AEs are bad managers, and that's OK.
Red flags to watch for
- OTE quoted without quota attainment data. "OTE $200k" means nothing if nobody on the team is actually hitting quota. Ask explicitly: "What % of the team hit quota last year?"
- Aggressive ramp expectations. "Hit quota by month 3" for an enterprise role with 6-month deal cycles is mathematically impossible.
- No SDR / BDR support for AE roles. You'll spend half your time prospecting and miss quota.
- "Top performers earn $X" buried in fine print as the only comp data. Real sales orgs share median attainment openly.
