How do you all deal with the guilt of leaving a comany/ team? I have been working at Microsoft for 1 year now, and seriously considering moving. I find the code base to be very legacy and I mostly work on obscure bugs that I spend so much time on, mostly due to navigating this large code base and not having much docs to refer to. Hence I find the job slightly unsatisfying, and that I could learn more elsewhere. However, I love the wlb, the team and company culture. The guilt stops my applying.

Be a sponge. Learn, find out what the top guys in your industry do, and always keep learning. You’re never gonna be too good to learn.
Work smart, and work hard, it’s a numbers game at the end of the day.
And live by this “To sell is to present, to present is to prove, and to prove is to ask questions. The end game is to ask enough questions ti find a pain, from there create a need, and offer a solution”.
Good luck
I meant to say Probe* not prove. Sorry
Ton of jobs right out the get go in sales, and a lot of people start in an SDR role, especially in tech sales. You'd be an "appointment setter" and have to capitalize on both hot and cold leads. Often times, just try to be authentic and the rest will fall into place...sales world is stressful but awfully enjoyable with the right personality and mindset.
Getting started is a grind, so often times it's very discouraging. Metrics for entry level sales roles can look daunting as hell. Make sure you're talking to your manager about reasonable expectations otherwise you'll feel like your drowning.
It will take time. Don't get discouraged. It's getting your name out there and networking. Good luck with your new job!
First, narrow down the roles you want to apply for. Then do the same with the companies you want to join. Lastly, reach out to recruiters or referrals. Best of luck!
