Firstly Semper Fi. Secondly do you have experience in sales already? I was 25 when I got into tech sales and I started out as a SDR. You might be older than most of the SDRs but with a Marine work ethic and thick skin you can move up pretty fast. I have a deep passion for helping Veterans get into tech, so I’m more than happy to help. I can also connect you a good friend of mine at Accenture who was a Artillery Captain in the Army. He did sales under me but shifted to consulting because it was more his pace.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate so much and feel very lucky to have a job BUT I am losing all the energy and excitement regardles of the project. Every day I struggle with going back to this consulting work. I just don't have the energy to focus (this is not the case for other things and side hustles). I manage to keep it down and deliver but I fear it's a matter of time until I fail. Trying to find an exit/job but had 1 interview in 3 months. I feel trapped and guilty for feeling this.

I had a job interview for a role that I really want. The hiring manager scheduled me for an interview and did not show up. Emailed me an hour later stating that he got super busy and couldn’t attend, and would like to reschedule. This is a major red flag, but I can’t help but feel that I am missing out since this role pays 50% over what I currently make. Should I let the recruiter know? What’s your take on this?
