Fam,
Seeking your opinion. My goal is to break into tech sales, specifically cybersecurity. I've been making solid connections through LinkedIn and tapping into my uni's alumni network for referrals. I have an interview tomorrow at one of my target companies, CRWD; however the position is for a cloud operations analyst.
If they like me and it's a good fit, should I take the opportunity, work hard, build my personal brand within the company, and then try to transition to a sales role? From your experience do you see many people transitioning from operations to sales, or is it typically vice versa?
My mentor told me moving from operations to sales is not very typically - that being said I wanted to get you opinion.
Appreciate any feedback!
