I have a friend with no college degree who was in an area manager role for a coffee company(4yrs). She essentially managed a few coffee shops and worked inside one as a direct people manager. Also managed supplies/stock etc.. The only role at my company I could think so refer her to is customer success but curious if anyone has made this pivot/if anyone has any ideas around a remote job paying $60k+ (Boston based). Vague, I know but had to ask. TIA!

Could you also look on Glassdoor as well to get a sense on salary?

She looks like she has plenty of soft skills that most companies are looking for. One title I can think of is an operations manager.

I pivoted from a sales manager role in a totally unrelated industry to a business systems analyst role 8 years ago. (I have an unrelated masters degree that I completed when I was 21 but don’t believe it factored at all.) I was 26 and had 4 years of post-grad experience in public service and one year in sales management at the time of that transition.

Here are the factors that helped me get that first tech job: 1. Customer management experience. 2. Good presentation skills and prior experience presenting to executives. 3. Played up the little bit of (end user) systems training experience I had as a manager. 4. Job was in a rural area with little competition. 5. I nailed the process mapping exercise thanks to expert googleing. 6. Interviewing really well in a space where a lot of candidates lack soft skills
