I’ve seen a couple of XDRs move up into AE roles since I’ve been here, but it doesn’t seem to be a regular thing. One thing that feels a little unusual is that managers encourage the whole team to start the day with group meditation. I find it a bit awkward doing that with coworkers to be honest. It kind of gives off a worhshipy kind of vibe. The hours are also long. If you’ve got a demo to hand off to an AE first thing in the morning or later in the evening (especially with PST leads), you might end up staying in the office way outside of regular working hours, especially at the end of the month.
