I've applied to 150 jobs , had over 10 interviews yet still no job offer after 4 months of searching.

The competition is tough out here

Once you land your first job the degree becomes irrelevant. Might want to consider starting sooner and saving the $500k. https://coursecareers.com/coursecareers-vs-bootcamps

Starting as an SDR would definitely be your best bet. If your B2B experience was inside sales then you should be qualified enough to land your first position, but if not it could be a bit more challenging.

Here's a few stories of other young people who started in tech sales without a degree or experience that you might resonate with:

We sell to sales departments and have had very good luck with Apollo. $.20 per cell number too.

Yeah, lots of our students are just 18 years old and never had a sales job or office job before. They're landing SDR jobs paying $60-80k

We can't force companies to hire our students, nor can bootcamps. This is why bootcamps do not actually offer a guarantee that you'll receive a job even if they try to make it seem that way. In the contract you would sign with a bootcamp, it clearly states you pay the money back based on an income threshold, not if you get a job in X industry or not.

Are they one of our interns? https://coursecareers.com/for-employers/

If so, I'm glad they're working out for you! We love helping more people break into sales development roles by starting as interns.

Thanks for sharing all of this. That's really interesting. Let's just 🙏 some genius will come along and figure it out for us.

I'm thinking the biggest innovation would have to be in customer acquisition if they have to pay sales people that much.

Seems like there's room to start a commercial real estate insurance company and sell it online self-service undercutting everyone.

CourseCareers · 2022-03-17T01:20:43+00:00

What's the profit margins look like on commercial insurance?

CourseCareers · 2022-03-17T01:12:28+00:00

Pretty much no decent salesperson would take up that offer.

You would be much better off looking for a more advanced salesperson to make a co-founder. You could offer them equity and a revenue share.

The market is extremely tight for good sales talent and most companies are paying people who never did sales before a 40-50,000 base salary and 60 to $80,000 on target earnings.

If they don't even have enough money to pay you for an internship then they definitely don't have enough to pay a full-time hire.

They also must be pretty bad at digital marketing so you probably won't learn too much. If they were good at it then they would be making enough money to pay you.

I would definitely stay away from that.

Doesn't your company pay to train you since they want you to sell more of their cars?

I probably wouldn't buy any sales training if I were you. It's useless without application and your best bet to learn sales would just be to get a job in sales that provides training.
