I sold HELOCS, life, property and casualty insurance for a bank while I attended college full time. I left to sell mobile services retail and B2B. As soon as I graduated I immediately got my first pharma role. It's been a ride ever since. ๐ŸฆŠ

sold print ads in a useless magazine. It was brutal but like you I landed my first saas AE role because of it. Hiring manager thought I was a sales god for what I had been through and done.ย
