In a new situation and curious for thoughts. Went from field sales to inside sales with a company that sifted out a lot of the cross functional sales support team over the last year, turning sellers into order takers/processors and broken process navigators who are constantly on the backfoot.

Have interviewed at a few places for better roles, but found myself unable to properly sell into the new roles due to soul crushing day to day.

Any tips on how to get out? Went inside for family needs.

You can do an outside sales role that’s remote. I work from home selling SaaS to businesses. Selling tech is a great way to make good money but be at home if you need too.

SaaS gigs are still doing a fair amount of remote? My family need required me to go rural. I see a lot of hybrid and not much in my current location. I am in tech actually, just at a bottomfeeder, which made good money until it didnt, and is now a nightmare.

I can relate to this. Will definitely follow to see any tips.
