Bain & Company I’m from Italy and will start my master’s degree at Oxbridge this fall. I got my undergrad from a target uni in continental Europe. I want to start my career in consulting, possibly MBB, in London. I know consulting firms tend to hire locally but I’d really like to work in London and that’s also one of the main reasons why I went for the Oxbridge degree. Anyone, who might have some tips, or went through a similar experience? McKinsey & Company Boston Consulting Group Bain & Company

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!

Tech sales is all about connections and network. It’ll be difficult to pivot from selling stents or pharmaceuticals to tech.
Recommend looking for a healthcare adjacency in tech. For example, if you called on physicians, look at selling clinical applications like Epic or Cerner (or likely something more fringe; those two will be tough to break into). Your healthcare experience will be valued there and you can get your feet wet in more general software like Citrix or VMware VDI that is used to deliver many of these apps.
From there, you can pivot into more general software if you want to. Good luck.
You have to start somewhere and everyone is new at least once. I think that the AM experience can take you a long way. At Microsoft we are industry aligned and Healthcare is one of them. Having experience in the way healthcare operates + sales would be valuable for such a role. Anyone can learn the technology if they want.

If you’re coachable any company would be happy to have you
I came from car sales anything is possible
If you’re willing to learn, have accountability and passion then anything can be learned. Soft skill/intangibles are A LOT harder to find in candidates who otherwise may look great on paper
Thank you! I fully agree with you.
I think it depends on company but I would say that your AM experience + demonstrating a growth mindset and excitement to learn technology can take you a long way.
Totes possible mate go for it!
To be honest, one of the main things sales roles whether or not you come from healthcare or tech, is that you you have experience in CRM..
Knowledge in the tech industry is beneficial, for example if it’s a certain vendor, get some basic experience of their portfolio and that should be enough for you not to start from the bottom
