What are some entry level tech jobs that might still pay well?

My husband has been a restaurant manager for over 10 years (GM for 5). He worked at one place for 8 years and another for 5 (wasn’t a manager at first at the other place) - so he’s consistent and dependable. But he’s ready to keep normal hours and transition into corporate…. But it’s been tough with no “relevant” experience.

I would advise looking for jobs with companies like Toast, Square, Opentable and other tech companies that work closely with the hospitality industry. Even within hospitality there’s corporate jobs.

Are there any fishies from Toast? I’m not finding any… I found a job that just opened up.

This really depends on what he’s interested in, he can learn skills to be a data analyst or a web developer for low cost/free online. And then he can develop a personal portfolio of projects to demonstrate that he can do the work. Without some sort of relevant experience (ie a portfolio, a recent college degree in a tech field etc) it will be difficult to get a role in tech

Tech sales or account management/client success management? His skills might transfer well there.

Thanks for the input. I think he’d be great at client success but definitely concerned about the salary range.

I think we just need to brace ourselves for the pay cut. As GM, he makes 6 figures - nothing crazy but it pays the bills. I’m expecting a raise soon, so hopefully we can counter balance if he needs to take a significant pay cut.

Inside sales could be a good one for him.m if he goes into a company that sells into hospitality. He would know the pain points and be able to empathise.

Inside sales and outside sales tend to require different skill sets so you definitely don't have to have experience in one for the other. Inside sales- selling to existing customers, requires more nurturing, and outside is more 'hunter" mentality.

I am very upset.
