Meanwhile, there's a whole other tier of tech jobs with a fraction of the applicants, solid pay from day one, and no degree required. I'm Lillian. I went from digital marketing at $50K to landing an SDR role at $75K total — and recently got promoted to SDR2 bringing my total comp to $100K in 2026. The whole process took one month. These are the five jobs I researched and what I know about each one. The 5 jobs: → #1 SDR / BDR (Sales Development Representative) — $85K+ total year one, path to $250K+ as AE → #2 Help Desk / Technical Support Specialist — $53K–$82K | 75,000+ open roles right now → #3 Account Executive — $100K–$190K | the natural next step from SDR, 12–24 months out → #4 Systems Administrator — $70K–$140K+ | high job security, no quotas → #5 Customer Success Manager (CSM) — $62K–$142K | relationship-focused, lower pressure than sales CourseCareers has courses for both the tech sales and IT tracks — the tech sales course is what I used to break in. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ⏱ CHAPTERS ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 0:00 Intro — the jobs nobody's competing for 0:47 Job #1: SDR / BDR — what I do right now ($85K+ year one) 1:38 Job #2: Help desk / technical support specialist ($53K–$82K) 2:31 Job #3: Account executive — the next level up ($100K–$250K+) 4:11 Job #4: Systems administrator ($70K–$210K+) 4:58 Job #5: Customer success manager ($62K–$142K) 6:18 How I went from $50K to $100K in tech in one month 6:49 Free intro courses for tech sales and IT ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 🔗 RESOURCES MENTIONED ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 🎓 Free tech sales intro course (what I used): https://coursecareers.com/a/Lillian 🤖 Free AI career counselor — find the right track for you: https://coursecareers.com/career-discovery-quiz?a=Lillian 📚 Student & alumni reviews: https://coursecareers.com/reviews 🎓 CourseCareers student testimonials: https://www.youtube.com/@coursecareers 📧 Business inquiries: Lillian@lillianogugua.com *The CourseCareers link is an affiliate link.
