Application
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Upwork (Austin, TX) in Feb 2023
Interview
I got recruited through Linkedin for the Senior SDR position. After the initial call with the recruiter I met with the manager for the outbound SDR team and was advanced to the next round which would be an hour long panel interview with 4 managers beginning with a cold call roleplay. I ultimatley pulled out of the interview process before the panel interview because I don't want to work in a outbound focused role but everyone I spoke to was very kind and helpful. One thing that stuck out to me is that I was told there was a lot of turnover in the role and to me it didn't seem like quota was attainable in an outbound focused role.

There was also someone else from the sales team. They mentioned sometimes it's a sales leader, or someone in enablement. The most important thing seemed to be the role play.
