BB IB to Startup Tech Sales
Currently an analyst at a BB. Never been super attached to the idea of becoming an investor/staying in high finance. What I enjoy most is working with people and knowing a product, so a customer-facing role at a startup, especially sales, keeps catching my eye. But it feels wild to grind through banking and then jump to sales. Is this a crazy move? Would I be starting from zero, or does the banking background count for something? And is it worth the risk? Would love to hear from anyone who's made the leap or knows someone who did (successfully or not)
