I've been working in sales for a little over 10 years and now many a sales team in one of the most successful health clubs in Europe. My sales background is all B2C and looking to make the change to tech sales. I've recruited and trained many people to sell b2c and have seen them move onto tech sales making really good money and progress in their careers while I've remained in the same position. My question here is it to late for me to move into tech sales at 34? And I have no degree........

The degree doesn't matter in tech sales, they look for relevant experience and demonstrable success. I don't see age as being a factor, your biggest hurdle right now is the job market in tech. Experience tech sellers are having a tough time getting back to work, as layoffs keep happening and the job market shrinks.

We can only hope that this AI thing gets sorted on a way where companies go back to investing in people over datacenters, and that a new world of AI-enabled work opportunities opens up.

I need some career advice. I finished my master's degree in international law (B.A.Sc international relations) but I am not sure where to go from here. I always wanted to join a big firm and I've applied to different vacancies in international firms/companies but got rejected from all of them.
Does anyone have any tips on certain job positions or companies where an LLM would prove to be useful with my background?
I'm starting to feel quite stuck in this situation and it's very demoralising.

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?

I'm looking to find a job like the Forward Deployed Engineer role Palantir Technologies in the UK.

I have become hooked on finding a job that involves solving the kinds of problems they presented during their interviews. Although I got to the final round my performance anxiety got the better of me (I think I wanted the job a bit too much...). I will reapply after working in a similar company.

Is it "deep tech" / "data science" or "smart enterprise" that they're doing? Any advice welcome.
