Trying so hard to exit to a tech company since that’s my dream and I’m getting rejected by every single one, even small startups. Ugh I thought tech was “hiring like crazy” even in the pandemic.

Most companies aren’t hiring like crazy. Some are still hiring, and they’re concentrated in tech, but they can afford to be picky. Are you in strategy? Lots of people are unemployed now and the truth is that generalist skills put you at a disadvantage in this market

I’m sure a boatload of laidoff consultants are also applying to this as well. The applicant pool has gotten huge.

Taking my shot in tech sales. Consulting was great experience but enjoyed the relationship and BD aspect more and didn’t see myself climbing to partner. Starting in a junior BD Rep role to learn prospecting and earn quota history. Took a big paycut for the potential future earnings as an Account Exec. Did I dun goof? Probably. But I’ll regret it forever if I didn’t take my chance now when I’m still single and young-ish.
