I’ve seen several posts on Fishbowl from people trying to get jobs with no experience and then imply that they’re better because they have a degree. That’s BS, you don’t need a degree to be in this field and be great at what you do and be respected. Being a legal secretary can be an important part of a law firm, it’s a very different skill set than attorneys or paralegals. Quit talking down down to legal staff!!

On the other hand, I have an offer in hand from a much bigger company to be part of their business development. Any advice?

Serious question:

As a Registered Nurse with 11 years sales experience, why am I constantly turned down for healthcare-related sales roles? Yet on the flip side, I've gotten tons of offers in industrial or engineering spaces.

I've worked PRN as a nurse while I've been in sales. All of my sales roles were engineering-based in mechanical tools or chemicals. I've sold into various industries (energy, O&G, aerospace, pharma, HI&I, water treatment, etc). Just looking to get back to my roots.

Best way to get ahead in software engineering? Learning additional skills? Really curious if anyone here made a big income jump through making any particular kind of change

Any Advice?
