I’ve been in Tech sales for less than a year, but I do plan on leaving as well. I got in tech sales for some of the same reasons as you. I’m using it as a stepping stone to get into tech and eventually land a role in cybersecurity. Thanks for sharing and good luck on your journey! 😊
You’re welcome! You got this! Eliminate all “noise” from social media, tap into your true, unique gifts, & seek guidance from experts…you’ll find your answer sooner or later.🤎
Congrats! I love that you were able to pivot to technical writing in a position that more suits your personality. I'm an introvert too. Did the IT course in Course Careers but luckily landed an analyst role. You never know how trying something new can lead you on a path you never expected. Congrats! Thanks for sharing your story.
Alright now Jerra, always good to hear from you. Great summation and I'm so grateful that you were very authentically honest, open, and transparent. So happy for you, keep it up!!!
@@MrAaronchicago Thanks for watching! I went to CourseCareers & Careerist. The career coach at Careerist helped me a little, but I ultimately found a job on my own.
Did you seek a technical writing role with the same company that hired you for the tech sales position? I would think they may have had some available positions.
Thanks so much, truly! I actually used to ghostwrite non-fiction books & e-books for 3 years. I recently signed a contract to ghostwrite articles...so this comment is very timely.😊
Call center like environment I went into te h sales omg idk I wud have PTSD from earlier in my career I was in sales when I first entered the work force I got into college and pro sports and I came back after 10yrs and I'm not liking it but tech sales was soo easy to get into tech and I'm at a big company I'm not liking it you're married to that desk and phone I had already started on QA stuff in February so I am now looking for QA work
@@jaegee3716 Best wishes with embarking on your QA journey! The part about being married to the desk and phone…BIG facts!💯 I didn’t like that at all, but I’m grateful for the hands-on negotiating & overcoming objections experience.
@@jerralatrice I've done alot of sales but this is crazy these ppl acting like im a bill collector I had more fun being one tho thats the crazy part. Thank you Technical Writer sounds interesting I was good at writing papers but sometimes I didn't like doing it.

Love hearing from you!!❤🎉
Thanks Des!🤎
Love your story, by chance do you mind telling us what boot-camp you used and did they help with job assistance
@@MrAaronchicago Thanks for watching! I went to CourseCareers & Careerist. The career coach at Careerist helped me a little, but I ultimately found a job on my own.
Can somebody transition into product management from tech sales.. I have 1.5years of experience as a software engineer
Yes
@@sbnerji12555 Yes, I’ve seen some people switch to PM roles from tech sales. Sorry for the late reply!
Thanks for sharing. How did you get training in tech sales?
@@TamarahTravels You’re welcome! I received my tech sales training through CourseCareers. I took their tech sales course.
Good insight.
Thank you for watching!
Did you seek a technical writing role with the same company that hired you for the tech sales position? I would think they may have had some available positions.
Nah, I was told they don't hire too much in that department.
Tech sales is huge in getting your foot in the door imo.. Then you can start networking and start messing around in other fields
@@NateDawg3211 I agree
What company was it?
@@Vtabbsk Intuit. Sorry for the late reply!
which bootcamp did you do ?
@@jackfrost8553 I did Scam-reerist…oops, I mean Careerist first. Then, I did Course Careers. Should’ve just enrolled in Course Careers only.
what is a bdr? When your audience is new to the field, I would recommend not using abbreviations

Nothing to do with the topic of the video - which I really enjoyed - just wanted to say that your speaking voice sounds just like Beyonce haha
LOL this is hilarious! I hear that quite often from subscribers on my other TH-cam channel.🤣 Thanks for your comment & compliment on the video!
Have you considered copywriting and ghostwriting? Congratulations on your new role
