So you can finally show mom what you do all day.

Microsoft is hiring an account executive and I’m really interested in the role. I have B2B sales experience in a different industry, but my skills include lead generation, prospecting, account management, negotiating, etc (all within the C Suite and other decision makers).
Would appreciate knowing if this is something I have a shot at with no tech sales experience and what I could expect for promotional opportunities and compensation.
Thanks for the help!

You can pivot for sure, but at the same time careers are often the sum of a cumulative effect of choices over time. So, the experiences you choose can matter over time. Sometimes you need the top tier brand to propel you and open doors, other times it’s more about what you can or need to learn in a specific role - depends on where you are. I try to be strategic when and where I can be and make the best of it when I am at the mercy of the job market. But choices count over time, in my experience.
It's never too late to start from where you are.
The right internship can absolutely open some doors for you when you’re looking to land that first job right of school. I interned at the Shriners Hospitals for Children and I landed so many interviews for jobs I wasn’t really qualified for because of that experience.
