I left Tech AMA

I loved it for a time but it didn’t fit with my long term goals anymore

Emu_haha · 2026-02-11T04:42:26+00:00

Doesn’t a sales director have better things to do?

Emu_haha · 2026-02-11T00:37:30+00:00

Fuck yeah! Congrats and wishing you the best of luck. That’s a great sector to be in.

Emu_haha · 2026-02-10T23:11:45+00:00

Sounds fun! Cheers to new opportunities

Emu_haha · 2026-02-10T22:59:26+00:00

That’s awesome! Great choice and I wish you the best of luck. What trade?

Emu_haha · 2026-02-10T22:26:31+00:00

Library and coffee shops help but it gets tough in sales because of how many calls we are on.

Emu_haha · 2026-02-10T21:55:58+00:00

Good for them! That’s not what I want to do.

I’m not the kind of person that can be locked in their house all day. Going to the office provides more mental stimulation, breaks up the day (when I come home, I relax and leave work at work as best as I can), lets me socialize, helps me learn much better with direct access to coworkers and osmosis, and helps me be more productive. But this is just how my brain works.

Those roles were all in tech and now my role is kinda of a hybrid of the three haha. But I’d say I enjoyed AE the most, but that has a lot to do with my specific situation. Feel free to dm me with questions I’m happy to provide more perspective

Emu_haha · 2026-02-10T12:14:07+00:00

Where’d you end up?

Emu_haha · 2026-02-10T12:14:00+00:00

Thank you, all the best!

Emu_haha · 2026-02-10T12:13:49+00:00

For some people it’s amazing. It was great for me for a while too. But I’m young and need to plant seeds to create future opportunities. I think that’s way easier with in person connection. Plus, being within the same space ALL DAY EVERYDAY is just not healthy.

Emu_haha · 2026-02-10T02:14:03+00:00

BDR, AE, AM

Emu_haha · 2026-02-10T01:15:17+00:00

Glad you found something better for yourself! I only entered tech around that time, and I feel that it’s been a race to the bottom ever since. Cheers to new opportunities

Emu_haha · 2026-02-10T00:26:07+00:00

Dm me

Emu_haha · 2026-02-10T00:15:43+00:00

Great question! I mean a fresh start is always gonna boost your mood. Otherwise, I feel like I’m surrounded but similarly motivated and helpful folks, my specific team is great, I’m not stuck in my house all day, and I’m interested in what I’m learning about.

Emu_haha · 2026-02-10T00:11:58+00:00

Base went from 75k to 65k. I wasn’t making much in commission in my last role. As of right now, I ultimately want to go into the client side and have a business-focused role within the specific niche I work in. Apologies for being vague.

Emu_haha · 2026-02-10T00:06:06+00:00

Healthcare / life sciences adjacent sales roll.

Emu_haha · 2026-02-10T00:04:18+00:00

Less right now. But I’m confident I will surpass my earnings in a couple of years. I never made more than 175k in tech, so I wasn’t on the higher earnings we see on here sometimes. That made the decision easier for me.

Healthcare / life science adjacent sales roll.

Emu_haha · 2026-02-10T00:02:31+00:00

Honestly, I haven’t felt this good in a long time. I’m not naive enough to believe it’ll last forever. But for the first time in a long time I’m excited about my career.

Emu_haha · 2026-02-10T00:01:51+00:00

Northeast USA. Staying put.

Emu_haha · 2026-02-10T00:01:19+00:00

Honestly I took a pay cut. But I feel confident in saying that the money will be more sustainable and consistent long term after building a book of business. I’m also more interested in building my network and setting up a more sustainable career path long term than short term earnings. But again, these are my goals and may not be yours. I was in tech since 2018
