Looking to leave my current role but scared of financial outlook, graduated August 2022 and have 2 YOE of formal experience in tech under my belt with startups and large companies. Currently making $70k base- is that realistic anywhere else other than startups/tech for a marketing or sales position?

Wanting to pivot into medical device or med sales.

Suer, I think you can pivot. Medical sales will always be there, facilities are always looking to improve and hospitals tend to have a gazillion dollars.

If you think the current company is going under then you won’t have a choice, you’ll have to pivot or get work elsewhere. Probably a good idea to tighten your budget and start saving a bit more, while starting to look for another job at the same time. With the current market it may take a while to find another job either way and if you time it right then you might get severance pay. Definitely don’t quit without getting another job first or at least saving up a few months of living expenses.

Yes you can make great money in medical sales. I would definitely recommend it.

I know it's boring, but I figure staying in marketing/sales within the tech realm is probably more stable? Idk, why take the leap if you have stability. That's just my two cents.

That’s tough, I’d lol for a new role while milking the current one, only leave if it’s truly better right?

$70k for a couple years experience in marketing is entirely reasonable, even in industries where salaries aren't that high overall.

You can for sure meet that if not make even more in medical sales. It's a great time to make the switch right now too.

Just applied to Abbvie and then saw they had a layoff today as well 🥲 tough times all around

Yep, I’m just grateful for my paycheck this holiday season as I have medical bills and surprise expenses that have popped up over the last few months. I do need to tighten up my saving though😅

Why are you planning to leave your current role? For career growth? Or financial stability?

Offering advice to job seekers who go around recruiters and message hiring teams, execs, etc. You are putting the Recruiters job in danger. If a Recruiter declines you or doesn’t choose to reach out, it is because the hiring team declined you, or you don’t have the experience. You will most likely not be considered for future roles because of this. When I see people giving advice to reach outside the Recruiter, it’s bad advice. Very rare is this a good idea.
