Is tech sales still worth it? Are there any other industries that I should consider? I just despise the hyped that the industry generated all of a sudden.

I think Fintech is a little better of an industry to go into right now, but that's just me.

I wonder if that’s true. Square, Jeeves, Stripe, Robinhood, Plaid, Brex to name a few, are all struggling - according to shareholder reports or press. And some have had a workforce reduction.

If you can get your foot in the door, more power to you, at the least for equity, since the publicly traded ones have a lower share price.

Let me know if I’m wrong!

I had a hard time getting into a new tech selling role after leaving my last role. Even with 7 years there and as a high-performer.
so I’ve pivoted to staffing. Perhaps for a year.
Tech is having some issues but it’s not going anywhere. It’s a good bet if you can get a seat within an org that has runway and won’t lay you off in 2 quarters.

If you are into it, I think it is going to grow and you might want to stay there. The hyped it good because it is all about perception in sales.
