Any idea what the job market is going to look like for sales next year? Also, for those who’ve switched industries, have you seen more stability or opportunity in places like healthcare or finance sales compared to tech? Your comments from experience can really help me with making a major decision!

I honestly don’t think it will get better any time soon. The economy is starting to crack and if something isn’t done about tariffs, it’s going to get worse. Please don’t tell me tariffs are good. They are paid for through our very day purchases. Dropping the interest seems like a good first start, but it send investors bad feeling as they look at it as a softening of the market like we are in right now.
Of course I hope I am wrong- went to college for an Econ Major. It became my minor with finance as my major…
Like I said, I hope I’m wrong- it wouldn’t be the first time!

I am hopeful it will start to improve. The uncertainty should start to fade, and markets will be less volatile. Wish in one hand though…

Hoping it'll get better, realistic enough to assume that it won't. I've been in tech my entire career. It seemed like the most stable option for a while, but I'm not so sure now. Healthcare might offer more stability now. Everyone is vulnerable to layoffs though. I'd prioritize what you're passionate about and offers you the best WLB over stability since it doesn't really exist anymore.
