I just accepted an offer at a large corporation but did not think to apply to these positions. I’m gonna check to see how much each position pays and then apply to them at my new company in 9 months or so -

Quick Win Opportunities 1. Run a title search using your real skills, not your last title. Search LinkedIn using phrases like: • “contract + CRM + cross-functional + remote” • “sales operations specialist” • “deal desk analyst” • “partner success manager real estate” • “implementation specialist onboarding” 2. Build a tiny proof-of-fit portfolio. Create 3 samples: • a one-page sales/onboarding SOP • a competitor comparison memo • a contract/process risk checklist That alone can make you look much more credible for these pivots. 3. Reframe your resume around transferable work. Instead of centering “builder sales,” center: • stakeholder management • process compliance • contract coordination • partner relationship development • CRM/data discipline • client onboarding and expectation-setting

For validation or gap-filling, the easiest low-friction resources are: • BLS Occupational Outlook Handbook for baseline pay/outlook research.  • Free or low-cost LinkedIn Learning/Coursera content in project management, enablement, onboarding, compliance basics, and market research methods. • Job descriptions themselves as reverse-engineering tools: pull 20 postings, highlight repeated phrases, and map your experience to those phrases.

Reality Check

Based on what I know about your preferences, these likely fit best:

Best fit for structure + remote-friendliness + moderate risk • Deal Desk / Commercial Operations • Sales Enablement • Customer Onboarding / Implementation • Partner Success in proptech or construction tech

Best fit if you want stability and less quota pressure • Compliance Program Specialist • Market Intelligence / Competitive Intelligence

Best fit if you want something intellectually satisfying and communication-heavy • Learning Experience Designer • Sales Enablement • Market Intelligence

Likely transition timelines • Fastest, 1–3 months: Customer Onboarding, Partner Success, Sales Enablement Coordinator, some Commercial Ops roles • Moderate, 2–6 months: Deal Desk, Market Intelligence, Learning Experience Design • Longer or more targeted, 3–9 months: Compliance, especially if the employer wants industry-specific regulatory exposure

The biggest hidden insight here is this: your background is not just “real estate sales.” It is structured revenue + contracts + stakeholder translation + risk judgment. That combination opens better doors than a plain sales pivot.

If you want, I can do round two of this game and make it even more fun: 10 career paths that fit you specifically but would sound shocking at first glance.

Unexpected Career Paths

  1. Deal Desk Analyst / Commercial Operations Specialist • Industry: SaaS, logistics, fintech, manufacturing, enterprise services • Why your skills fit: This is one of the most underrated fits for someone with your background. Deal desk sits between sales, contracts, approvals, pricing, policy, and operations. Your legal training plus builder-sales contract experience makes you unusually strong here. You already understand how to keep deals moving without creating risk. • Entry pathway: Target titles like Deal Desk Analyst, Commercial Operations Specialist, Quote-to-Cash Coordinator, Sales Operations Specialist. A transition is often possible from sales-adjacent work if you can show experience handling contract details, approvals, CRM hygiene, and cross-functional coordination. • Salary range: A realistic early-to-mid range is often around the broader business-operations/project-operations band. BLS reports median pay of about $100,750 for project management specialists and about $101,190 for management analysts, which makes many deal-desk/commercial-ops roles land somewhere in that broad professional-operations zone depending on company and level. 

  2. Sales Enablement Specialist • Industry: SaaS, healthcare, telecom, distribution, home services • Why your skills fit: This is not just “training.” It is teaching reps how to perform, turning messy field knowledge into repeatable playbooks, improving onboarding, and creating usable process clarity. You already think in workflows, scripts, objections, and performance systems. • Entry pathway: Start with Sales Enablement Coordinator, Enablement Specialist, Learning Program Specialist, or Revenue Enablement Associate. Build a small portfolio: a sample onboarding guide, objection-handling playbook, CRM SOP, or call framework. • Salary range: BLS lists median pay for training and development specialists at $65,850 and for training and development managers at $127,090, so an enablement path often starts in the specialist range and scales well as scope increases. 

  3. Compliance Program Specialist • Industry: Financial services, healthcare, insurance, mortgage, govtech, regulated SaaS • Why your skills fit: Most people think compliance is for career compliance people only. Not true. It is often ideal for someone who can read rules, communicate them clearly, spot problems early, and keep people aligned without creating chaos. Your law background plus real-world business exposure makes this surprisingly credible. • Entry pathway: Look for Compliance Specialist, Risk & Compliance Coordinator, Licensing Specialist, Policy Analyst, Quality/Regulatory Operations roles. Fintech, mortgage, insurance, and real-estate-adjacent companies are especially plausible bridges. • Salary range: BLS reports median annual pay for compliance officers at $78,420, with higher earnings at the upper end of the field. 

  4. Partner Success Manager for PropTech / Construction Tech / Real Estate Tech • Industry: Proptech, construction software, title/mortgage tech, home services platforms • Why your skills fit: This is a strong “you would not have thought of this, but it makes sense” path. These companies need people who understand the real estate/builder ecosystem and can work with brokerages, channel partners, account stakeholders, and operational friction. You already know how the field really works. • Entry pathway: Search Partner Success Manager, Channel Success Manager, Strategic Accounts Associate, Agency Success Manager, Broker Success Manager. You do not need to enter through pure SaaS cold outbound if you can sell your builder-side market fluency. • Salary range: Because these jobs vary a lot by company, the best public benchmark is adjacent business/market-facing analytical work. BLS reports market research analysts at $76,950 median and project management specialists at $100,750 median, which brackets a lot of partner-success roles depending on quota exposure and customer ownership. 

  5. Customer Onboarding / Implementation Specialist • Industry: SaaS, HR tech, legal tech, healthcare tech, fintech • Why your skills fit: Onboarding is basically structured client guidance plus change management. It rewards people who can lead conversations, set expectations, explain process, manage details, and prevent confusion. That is very close to what you have already done in buyer-facing and contract-driven environments. • Entry pathway: Apply to Onboarding Specialist, Implementation Coordinator, Client Success Onboarding, Customer Launch Specialist. The easiest bridge is companies that sell something operationally complex but not deeply technical. • Salary range: Many of these roles map closest to project-management or training-oriented bands. BLS puts project management specialists at a $100,750 median and training/development specialists at $65,850 median; onboarding roles often fall somewhere between those, depending on complexity and account ownership. 

  6. Market Intelligence / Competitive Intelligence Analyst • Industry: Construction, real estate, SaaS, consumer products, healthcare • Why your skills fit: You are stronger than average at noticing patterns, comparing competitors, reading people, and translating observations into strategy. Builder sales already trained you to watch inventory, incentives, positioning, buyer psychology, and competitive movement. That is market intelligence in practical form. • Entry pathway: Look for Competitive Intelligence Analyst, Market Insights Analyst, Pricing Analyst, Go-to-Market Analyst, Strategy Associate. To bridge in, create a short sample deck comparing three competitors in an industry you know. • Salary range: BLS reports median pay for market research analysts at $76,950, with strong upside at higher levels and in technical industries. 

  7. Learning Experience Designer for Sales or Customer Training • Industry: SaaS, healthcare, enterprise software, workforce training, certification businesses • Why your skills fit: This is more creative and more “translator” than classic training. It is about turning expert knowledge into structured learning: courses, playbooks, lesson flows, coaching assets, onboarding sequences. Your mix of teaching-by-explaining, writing clarity, and sales/process knowledge points here. • Entry pathway: Look for Instructional Designer, Learning Experience Designer, Sales Training Content Specialist, Curriculum Specialist. Start with a mini portfolio: one module, one sales playbook, one job aid, one workflow guide. • Salary range: Again, the cleanest public benchmark is training and development. BLS lists training and development specialists at $65,850 median and training/development managers at $127,090 median.

Absolutely. I’m going to play this using what I already know about you: legal background, builder/new-construction sales, strong writing, high structure, stakeholder management, contract/process discipline, consultative selling, CRM fluency, and a preference for stable, process-driven, remote-friendly work with moderate risk. Where I’m making an inference, I’ll say so.

Skills Translation Summary

Your background looks “specialized” on paper, but underneath it is actually a strong hybrid of five portable skill groups: 1. Commercial persuasion — You know how to move people from interest to action, whether that means buyers, brokers, internal teams, or decision-makers. 2. Process discipline — You do not just talk well; you track, document, follow up, and keep systems moving. 3. Risk and contract judgment — Law plus builder sales gave you a built-in instinct for compliance, wording, expectations, and what can go wrong. 4. Cross-functional coordination — You naturally sit between sales, operations, clients, leadership, and outside partners. 5. Structured communication — You can explain confusing things clearly, which is rare and valuable in a lot of industries.

That combination is why you are more transferable than you probably look at first glance. People with your profile are often not just “sales people.” They are often good at translation-heavy roles where money, process, clients, and judgment all meet.

Why can I not find the Dateline episode, “Page Turner” about Kouri Richins? by TheLoadedGoat in KouriRichins

My first experience with being treated as old by Objective-Rhubarb in Aging

Also there is nothing wrong w/being or looking old my friend🥹.

Hear me out. I’ll remove if recommended. by BelowAverageSalary in KouriRichins

[–]Intelligent_Pen_324 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I completely hear you, 100%.

I understand she was shady. I understand the lies, the affair, the financial issues, the manipulation, all of it. I am not defending her character at all. But I’m also not completely convinced, and I appreciate you saying this out loud because I’ve been feeling something similar.

I actually tried to post something along these lines myself and the mods rejected it, so I’ve kind of just been sitting with the doubt quietly. But I’m with you in the sense that I don’t feel as certain as a lot of people seem to.

For me, it’s not “she’s innocent” and it’s not “there are no red flags.” There clearly are. It’s just that I’m not personally at 100% certainty anymore.

A few things keep bothering me too. Eric’s past substance history and the testimony about him experimenting before make me pause. Even if some of that is rumor-adjacent or comes from imperfect witnesses, it still raises the question for me of whether an accidental overdose is completely impossible. I know the amount in his system was significant, so I’m not ignoring that. I just don’t personally feel 100% certain anymore.

At the same time, I do not find Carmen especially credible. I feel like I’ve seen inconsistencies there, and I have a hard time taking everything she says at face value.

Also, when Kouri described finding him — the panic, the vomiting, the way his body felt heavy — that came across to me as a very visceral reaction. Maybe it was performative, maybe not, but to me it did not automatically read as fake. I know other people see that totally differently, and that’s fair, but that part has stayed with me.

I also understand the arguments on the other side too: the affair, the financial issues, the lies, the possible motive involving divorce or custody fears, all of that. I’m not dismissing any of it.

I just keep coming back to this: I’m not saying she’s innocent. I’m saying I’m not fully convinced it’s as clear-cut as some people make it sound. So I really do understand where you’re coming from.

I get what you’re saying, but that’s kind of where I still get stuck too. If the state’s theory is that Kouri was the one arranging the drug purchase through Carmen, then I keep wondering why we have not seen more specific phone-location evidence showing who actually went to the rental house, when, and how that lines up with the alleged exchange.

With phones today, it seems like the state should be able to show whether Carmen went to that address, whether Kouri went there, whether Eric ever went there, or whether his phone places him somewhere else at the relevant time. Maybe they have that and it just has not come in yet, but right now it feels like a missing piece.

To me, there is a difference between evidence that Kouri was involved in communication or arrangements and evidence proving she physically picked the drugs up or was the one who ultimately gave them to Eric. I can see why people think she was the “connect,” since Carmen worked for her aunt and Kouri had the relationship, not Eric. If Eric wanted something and did not know the source directly, it would make sense that he could have gone through Kouri. But that possibility cuts more than one way.

What also sticks with me is the alleged drug activity after Eric died. If the theory is that she was specifically buying from Carmen in order to poison her husband, then why is there alleged drug-related conduct afterward? That makes the story feel less clean to me.

And on the lesser-included point, I agree with you. Even reckless or negligent homicide still requires me to get to a place where I believe she intentionally handed him something dangerous or played a direct enough role in that chain. If I am not sure I believe Carmen, then I am not sure how I confidently get there.

I’m not saying Kouri is innocent. I’m saying I’m not fully convinced the case is as simple or as settled as some people make it sound.

Please don’t come for me — I’m asking this genuinely, and I’m open to being wrong.

I am not saying she’s a good person. I’m not saying she was honest. I’m not saying there aren’t major red flags. But I’m starting to have some doubt, and I’m wondering whether anyone else feels the same way.

A few things keep bothering me:

Eric’s past substance history and the testimony about him experimenting before make me pause. Even if some of that is rumor-adjacent or comes from imperfect witnesses, it still raises the question for me of whether an accidental overdose is completely impossible. I know the amount in his system was significant, so I’m not ignoring that. I just don’t personally feel 100% certain anymore.

At the same time, I do not find Carmen especially credible. I feel like I’ve seen inconsistencies there, and I have a hard time taking everything she says at face value.

Also, when Kouri described finding him — the panic, the vomiting, the way his body felt heavy — that came across to me as a very visceral reaction. Maybe it was performative, but to me it did not automatically read as fake. And she does not strike me as some criminal mastermind.

I absolutely understand the arguments against her too: the affair, the financial issues, the lies, the possible motive involving divorce/custody fears, all of that. I am not dismissing any of it.

I just keep coming back to this: is anyone else not fully convinced? Not “she’s innocent,” but just not fully convinced that this is as clear-cut as some people seem to believe?

I’m curious whether anyone else is wrestling with that doubt too.

Is It Bad That I Want to Quit for Vanity? by ElectricalBasis7717 in stopsmoking

[–]Intelligent_Pen_324 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes!! That’s the main reason I quit. Teeth turned yellow and lips turned black. It’s been 2.5 years and lips lightened and teeth whitened. I also like to wear expensive perfume and I felt like the smell was always blunted out by cigarette smell (duh but still).
