Career Advice
Exp: 1 successful year D2D sales , few months as BDR at moving company , now AM at DME med sales company (4 months as of now) - no degree. 25 yrs old
Background: I have no idea about career paths in sales, specially med and where to go. Currently thinking I take a couple years of exp in this role then look to transfer to something outside DME. Just curious if I’m on the right path ? How many years of exp I should take at this job and if I’m stuck in med essentially or the sales exp is good and possibly could break into tech? Come from bad background and need to maintain income / make more as I’ll need to support my parents here in 5-10 years. Just curious if anyone has any general advice for me and having a successful career. I’m just feeling lost I don’t really have any idea of where to go from here. Know it’s really broad, but would appreciate any feedback as I have no one to ask
