How do I get out

Before I get into my situation I know I was given a great opportunity 99% of sales professionals don’t get at this age (24M).

I started out in sales 2 years ago after graduating university instead of taking a 5th year to improve my grades. I just wanted to start working and make money.

After being inconsistent across 2 roles (got fired from one) I decided I needed to leave sales. However just before starting grad school I got a massive offer from a former mentor to join his sales team at a huge tech company (very well respected). High paying base and lucrative commission.

I’ve been there a year now and I’ve been super inconsistent. I’m the youngest guy on my team and I’m just becoming miserable again. I have no interest in being an AE in the future.

Today my boss (same mentor) told me I needed to improve within the next month or I’d be out the door. This happened once before and I closed a huge deal that helped me finish off the last quarter pretty well (quarter that literally just passed).

He said this time it’s upper management saying I’m not consistent enough and that they will be monitoring my performance closely.

I’m the youngest guy on my team but 10 years and just want to get away from sales. My only problem is I have no back up plan and everywhere I go people only want to hire me for sales. I feel trapped and still need to make a living. I want to try and make things work until I can go out on my own terms but it constantly feels like I’m working to just survive and my runway will run out eventually. I also feel horrible because my mentor took a chance on me and I don’t even want to stay on this career path.

I’m already planning for the worst and have a 20k emergency savings fund and could get $6k in stock that will vest if I last long enough.

Any advice on pivoting out of sales? I never want back in and desperate to just figure my life out.
