[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gosh this is eye opening just how little tech people know about their own industries. Interest rates have crushed the ability to raise money and tech is not coming back like it was. Layoffs have plateaued because everyone was laid off. Companies are getting back to the fundamentals, and there will always be a need for really good salespeople who willingly work 90+ hours a week on the road for their high salary, but there won’t be a need for 100 salespeople who work from home. If your husband was a really good salesperson he would’ve had a job by now, that’s just the truth. Chances are he was average and probably needs to think about a career pivot.  [/quote]

Hard truth OP. Getting a job is about selling yourself, and your DH can’t even do that. You need to get a full time job pronto, he probably needs to go back to school.

I’m the PP and this is bad advice. Do not take on school loans, salespeople are generally very employable in a wide variety of jobs so take advantage of existing skills. Likely will not come close to making prior salary so adjust your lifestyle.

Working in tech (especially tech sales) the past ten years was like winning the lottery. An incredible environment thanks to the fed to make a lot of money and few actually got a chance at it so congrats! But like the lottery, you already got it and the odds are well-stacked that nothing like that will happen again in our lifetime.  [/quote]

What kind of jobs should a tech sales bro former bartender aim for?  Curious what skills are so marketable?[/quote]
