Going from sales rep to product manager: anyone do it? Easy transition? Which did you enjoy more? Did you find the sales rep role to be a good precursor role to product manager?

After three years of working for a company, I'm finally leaving to a better paying position. The week before I put in my two week notice, they gave me a 3k bonus and won a speaker in a raffle. I'd normally feel bad for leaving it that way but I found out that 5 of us with the same position are getting paid very different salaries. I wish my old company the best but I couldn't take that

Hi all, I am currently facing quite a difficult choice regards to my next job, so please share your thoughts which would definitely give me a lot of ideas.

Summary of my careers thus far, late 30s spent over a decade in customer engagement, sales and account management in the casino industry which was heavily impacted by Covid and return to the industry seems almost impossible. Now I work in a startup asset management company as a BDM but I don't enjoy working there at all, and both my hiring managers left the company for different reasons. After re-thinking of my careers, I realized I could transit myself into sales for SaaS due to my experience and my passion in tech. I didn't have much success in the interview process due to my lack of experience in SaaS and B2B experience. Fortunate enough, I was being offered by some companies but really struggled to decide which to go for.

Company 1 - BDR for one of the leaders in SaaS globally, the company still has a bright future and plenty of potential in my eye;

Good

Reporting to a chill yet knowledgeable manager who I think could learn a lot from
Review after 6 months for possible promotion to AE
Flexible working environment

Bad

Lowest compensation in all options (actually I am taking a pay cut) and just an entry level role

Company 2 – a BDM for one Australian SaaS platform, the business has been expanding nationwide rapidly and aiming to open in NZ and UK

Good

The hiring manager and COO are genuinely nice and had a lot of experience in the industry
Highest pay in all options
Flexible working environment

Bad

Might be somewhat difficult for a career move, given the industry this service provides to is quite limited

Company 3 – a Sales Engineer for an Australian hardware company, the role is offered to me as I know hiring manager in personal life

Good

Relationship with hiring manager is already exist
Pay and title

Bad

It will be roughly 30 mins drive to work one way
Hardware selling isn't exactly my consideration before he approaches me

I am leaning towards option 1, as I really optimistic about the company and the guys I have spoken to. HR went extra mile by trying to get me a higher compensation but it was unsuccessful. Another of my concern is, by accepting a BDR role, it basically meant 10 plus years working as a full cycled sales and account manager are wasted as they are not required in the role. Although HR promised there will be a review after 6 months, who knows if it will happen.

Which option do you think it's more sensible and would be the best choice in the long run?

Thanks in advance!!
