Hi everyone,

I recently completed my B.Tech in ECE and am interested in starting a career in Sales/Business Development.

I have a few questions for sales professionals:

1. How did you get your first sales job?
2. Is sales a good long-term career?
3. What skills should freshers focus on?
4. How much can someone realistically earn after 2-5 years?
5. What do you enjoy most and least about sales?

I'd love to learn from your experiences. Thank you!

Hi
I am 2.6 years experienced cloud and Infrastructure engineer. I want to switch companies for better growth and learning opportunities. I have done AWS solutions architect Associate certification and AZ-900 certification. I have good knowledge on linux Administration, shell Scripting and java programming language. Please refer me or suggest me ways I can get calls from other companies.

3 Things to keep in mind which changing jobs:
1. Always ask dedicated budget for the job before you tell your expectations.

2. Always have atleast 2 weeks of gap before you join any company. You might not understand significance of that but just have a gap.

3. Always talk to people of team you will be joining before you accept offer or atleast before you join company.
