Hi! Got a couple interviews lined up for sales engineer and sales development rep roles at @samsara Anyone who works there / interviewed there got any tips or what to expect? Roles are remote in Canada.
You’re interviewing for both SDR and SE? Those are very different roles and have a huge pay difference
I was thinking the same.
Yea what's your background op?
Try to get in as entry level sales engineer. Most SE have some some Engineering background.
Thank you, may I ask what role you do at Samsara?
Sales. If you can, get in as an SE. ADR are a dime a dozen. You can possibly transfer from SE to AE if you don’t like SE. But SE you have a lot more tangible skills than an ADR
any advice i have the 3 hour interview coming up next week dont know if its the final round for SE also Electrical Enginering Background
I’ve heard it can be a real grind on the sales side. Awesome product, space is growing rapidly, money is solid. But definitely a grind
