Transitioning from sales to revops and landing that first role. Any advice?

Hello,

I've been trying to transition from Sales into RevOps or SalesOps. I was an SDR at a fintech for a year and have been an AE at a Fortune 500 company for about three years now. I finally earned my Salesforce Certified Platform Administrator certification after having some trouble passing it.

I was hoping the Salesforce cert and sales experience would help me at least land some analyst interviews, but I haven't gotten much traction so far. I've been trying to network by connecting with RevOps leaders on LinkedIn and have had some good conversations, but I'm still not making a lot of progress.

Maybe I need to be more patient, as it's only been about 100 apps in like 4 weeks.

I'm currently studying SQL and may get the HubSpot RevOps cert after I finish this SQL course.

I've even considered taking another sales role just so I could potentially transfer internally into a RevOps position if that's what I need to do. My current company doesn't have much of a RevOps function, and I kind of want out of here anyway.

I'd really appreciate any advice from people who have made a similar transition.
