Health or tech, but regardless just go in and learn everything. The first sales job is the biggest stepping stone and it’s going to be hard but just push through. Get about 2-3 years done then go apply to bigger company’s once you feel like you know everything. This just gives your your career expansion. I hope that helps…cause that is what I’m doing.
