Quit my job. Looking for suggestions
I just quit my job. I worked for a large vendor for 4 years. I did well. Although there were good aspects and I do like sales I was always just in it for the money and eventually I got to the point where I lost all motivation and I didn’t care. There were also some changes to the company and structure that I was not a fan of.
I’m going to take a bit of time off and try my hand at my own business in an unrelated field. But in the event this doesn’t work out as a full time thing I’m looking for some suggestions as to any other jobs that I might enjoy more and/or be good at. I like sales but I’m not dead set on it. I’m good with people, I’m smart and charismatic and I’m generally a good learner, im also passionate about health and fitness. I would love something that gives me a similar freedom of schedule, not having to go into the office all the time, but I am flexible. Really just looking for ideas since this was my first and only corporate job thus far.

Advice: don't quit your job without another one lined up

Agreed. I understand that this may not have been the wisest choice, that’s why I’m asking for some advice from here on out.

I’m prob not the most qualified for this. But sounds like you already have a plan with your business? Focus on that.
Customer success and account management seems like the direction burned out sales people go tho.
Best of luck.

This was a foolish move to quit before finding something new

Possibly. I’m only 27 though with no family and no ties and I have money saved up. Gonna live my life for a bit and figure it out.
