Good Evening everyone,

I have 3 years of experience in sales, both retail and automotive and I am bilingual.

In those 3 years I’ve obtained various skills including but not limited to: Lead generation, prospecting, follow-up, CRM, social media marketing, cold calling, internet/phone lead handling, closing/negotiating.

I’ve had my eyes on a position in tech sales as an SDR or a role similar to that. How likely is it for me to get hired on with no previous tech experience or a degree?
Thanks

If you are motivated and show that you have great communication and people skills you can easily transition in to an entry level SDR position for sure. If you’re looking for a great starting point check out the opportunity available with Paradigm Life the culture of the company is great. They are still growing but, it’s a good start for you to get your feet wet and into Sales Development!!

Hey everyone. I found out we are expecting our first child and I’m really nervous. I got into consulting one year ago and I’m up for promotion this year. With timing of our performance conversations I would have to inform I’m pregnant before outcomes - then shortly after the promotion effective date I would go on a leave for due date. I’ve worked really hard and I’m worried our wonderful news will throw chances with this :(- also if I don’t get promoted pretty sure it’s up or out. Any advice?

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?

Also, I can't go the route of doing FDD at a different big 4. Already got rejected by all of them cause I'm not in audit (but have CPA).

“Job hopper” and “quiet quitting” are all schemes made up by boomers to make you think everything is the employees fault. When in reality people are just getting out of bad situations. Older companies do whatever they can to pay you the least amount and get the max work out of you. Except our generation will just leave amid we’re being mistreated, not complain for 35 years making 50k and 0 advancement.
