I have a friend who wants to get started in sales at a big tech company and I know one guy who works in tech with a development team and then another guy who used to work there, plus a few other really old acquaintances who work as software engineers there. Would it be helpful for my friend if I reached out to them? Your friend is totally unqualified for the job you're describing and needs to get their poo poo together.

oliveoil posted:Great! If they're unqualified then that seems to imply that there are qualifications. What should they do within the next 2-4 years to get qualified for a high-paying sales job? In the long term, they want to do sales and aim for sales jobs in the highest paying industries. I think tech sales seems to fit the bill but am not sure how to advise them. My friend had a bachelors from an Ivy League university in an unrelated field and several years of sales experience in consumer goods that he leveraged into such a position.
