That's amazing! I have been thinking about making a pivot into sales from Project management. Any pointers?

I got lucky and made an internal pivot. Hadn’t even considered it beforehand but so glad I did now. And it was technically a “down year.
Definitely a grind but I want to buy a house someday, so…
