Not nearly as rich as dramanaught but I've done pretty well for myself in my mid 20s. If you don't go into finance or become a codecel I'd highly recommend corporate sales if you're even the slightest bit charismatic. Getting in as an SDR or BDR (sales development rep or business development rep, basically the same thing) at a good name company will set you up for making 6 figures less than 2-3 years out of college. Sooner if you have a talent. Strongly recommend looking at the college recruiting programs from somewhere like Oracle (BRUTAL place to work but you can write your own checks easy after a year or so) or AWS. Basically you wanna get a big tech name on your resume as an SDR at one of those places (entry level sales work, you're basically setting appointments) before you bounce to another company as an Account Exec and then you'll be making way more.
Happy to give more info if you want it, I'm pretty r-slurred myself but i'm really good at getting people to listen to me and that'll translate to pretty good earnings if you stick it out in any type of charisma-based career.
It sounds good ngl, but I don't think Im cut out for it. I'd say that my charisma is pretty average as I tend to tense up in front of people Im not familiar with but the thought of cold calling and elevator pitching random people is daunting. I've managed to land a couple of consulting interviews as that seems like something I'd like doing but I always get smacked down during the case study section
What are the tasks that make up most of your day as a junior sales-dev? No bullshit please, keep it real.
Cold calling is a huge part of it, or at least it was about 3 years ago. It's more email now from what I understand, but from what I remember you can usually expect around 40-60 calls a day, and around 100 emails or so (but most of them are templated and automated so that isn't hard). And you're usually conducting initial discovery calls too, usually about a 10-15 min scheduled call to see if the person even bites/wants what you're offering.
On one sales team I managed we also had inbound reps, and it's common to start there too. Basically you aren't really cold calling, you're responding to people who filled out an email form requesting a demo or something and you conduct the intro call to figure out why they called/if they're a good prospect or not. That role is usually called an Inbound Rep or something like that.
