I didn't read about this. I did it with under $1k in the bank.
19, no degree, nine months at a cell phone store. Moved, signed a 12-month lease, and the next day the transfer my GM promised fell through. Rent due, under $1k.
Financed a $495 tech sales course and spent 12 hours a day messaging SDRs, managers and recruiters until someone put me in front of the person who could hire me. SDR job at a cybersecurity company in under a month. Three years later: mid-market AE, youngest in company history, quota every year.
Everything on this page is the process I used. I just run it with you now.
