Hey Guys, hoping for some advice. I am currently weighing up a move to a tech sales role as an SDR. I would be moving from an analyst role and a likely promotion to consultant within 12 months.

The base pay is the same base I would get if promoted to consultant and I have roughly 10/15k commission on top.
I worry that if I move to tech sales I might completely be throwing away a career in consulting forever. But on the flip side, I see myself earning a lot more, faster. Any advice?

Tech sales is a good place to make money; but it completely depends on how you want to shape your career. If you want to learn multiple skills and get exposure to many companies-consulting is the right place. Also ask yourself if you see yourself in Ireland for the foreseeable future or if you want to fly outside. Consulting in Ireland is limited to very few customers so it would be recommended that you get into tech then move to different countries. I know few people who have made to very senior level working in tech companies. To summarise- both places are good to be - in the long term you will make money in either places. Check your priorities and choose the option that feels right for you.

The difference in price is substantial – 2.5k for the traditional course vs 6k for the extended one. Any thoughts/recommendations on which one I should take?
