AI disruption and recession fears are weighing on me and making me question whether a career in sales is even safe. Being unmarried and childfree means I could chase other career opportunities if I wanted to. What are some other careers for those of us with sales experience that might have more job security?

Nearly impossible question to answer. If one industry is having AI disruption, it’s tough to say which one wouldn’t be. There will probably be roles that come more in demand than others, but I’m trying to play it by ear as it happens. Same with recession, there are jobs/industries out there with a little more resilience, but nothing with any guarantee.

I’ve considered going into consulting. With a strong sales background, you can help companies improve their go-to-market strategies or train sales teams. It’s a nice way to use what you know, but step outside the daily grind of selling.

I work in tech, and the tech experts are convinced AI can’t replace roles like sales. Hope that helps!

OP, how’s it going?

Question on UK visa-
My partner will be traveling often to London, once a month for an year starting September. He is getting his visa through work (10 years, multiple entry, 6 months max stay, cost some $1000).

I have applied for standard tourist visa in the past and they are usually short term. It could be max 6 months, but they see your itinerary and allocate you few months around the itinerary

Is there a way to get 6 months multiple entry visa, if I were to join him once in a while.
