An Army Veterans’ Career Path In High Tech Sales Is Booming: Here’s Why?
Many service members leave after one tour, about four years in. They walk out with more discipline, more grit, and more leadership reps than most 25-year-olds will ever get. Then a hiring manager tells them they have “no experience.” Tech sales sees it differently. An entry-level sales development rep (SDR) job asks for what the military already built: show up, run the plan, take a hit, keep moving. You don’t need to code or have a technical degree. And it pays. Our clients’ first offers average $85K a year, commission included. About 8 in 10 are fully remote, so after years of going where the military sent you, you pick where you live. Average time to an offer: 35 days.
