6 Months Job Hunting. Finally Landed an AE Role

massive anecdonetal story of the shift structurally in GTM, we should pay attention to this one

  • Sales job market in 2025 showing severe compression: 80 interviews across 36 applications over 6 months, with only 4 reaching final rounds (11% final-round conversion rate)
  • Salary deflation evident: multiple 'reputable companies' offering <50% of previous AE compensation, forcing candidates to reject offers that pay less than gig work
  • Entire sales teams being managed out simultaneously (August 2025), suggesting widespread GTM restructuring or company failures, not individual performance issues
