    Great interview. I'm a SDR and I transition from sales and marketing in Healthcare where I was always on the road to working remote in tech sales. I love it! I've been promoted twice and I've only been at the company for 8 months. I'm looking to get to six figures in 3-4 months ✝️♥️

    One thing people need to understand is you do not need to work for a tech company to work in tech. Every major company out there has an IT department.
    I'm an Remote IT Manager at a health care corporation and I make $160K and I'm looking at a promotion to an IT Director making over $200K within the next year. All fully remote, I only meet my leadership team in person once a year for 3 days. Thats it. #30BlackandSuccessful
