I’m a middle school teacher looking to transition into a role in instructional design. Though I have many applicable professional skill I’m noticing many jobs want years of prior ID experience. Any tips for breaking into the field?

Start building a LinkedIn presence and join Instructional Design groups on there. Grow connections with people that are already in Learning & Design roles and not just teachers who want to pivot out of education. Follow recruiters on LI. After your LinkedIn profile and footprint highlights applicable ID skills and language and reads less like you are applying for a teaching position, you will see that recruiters and connections will start to message you about roles. If in doubt, apply if you meet 80% of the job post qualifications.

I broke into the field by gaining experience teaching online and working with educational technology as a faculty member. Then, I added that experience to my LinkedIn and was recruited to do instructional design full time. I taught in Higher Ed, but I think the same process could work in K-12 too.

Hi there. Ex Deloitte Sr Mgr here, currently in tech pre sales (SaaS / MarTech). Recently spoke to both Salesforce and Adobe recruiters for roles that I thought were lateral moves (Sr SA / Sr SC), therefore I did not proceed with the selection process. The recruiters from both companies told me they typically hire at that level, and people are considered for promotion to Principal in 1 to 2 years. I found that odd. Is that right? What’s the typical TC for SAs and SCs there? (15+ yrs exp).
