At the individual contributor level, yes. SDR roles are competitive with high turnover. But SDR Team Lead, SDR Manager, and Director of Sales Development roles face much less competition. Revenue operations and sales enablement roles are adjacent categories with strong remote demand and less saturation.
SDR is remote-friendly at all levels. Senior SDRs transition to Team Lead (2 to 4 years), SDR Manager (4 to 7 years), and Director of SDR (7+ years). VP of Sales Development roles exist at larger SaaS companies. The most viable senior path is into sales management, revenue operations, or go-to-market strategy.
Title mismatch is the primary issue. Senior professionals with SDR backgrounds who have not updated their positioning get categorized as junior. The SDR-to-AE-to-management pipeline is well-established; professionals who stayed in SDR leadership need to explicitly position as sales leaders.
