Wish interviews were this easy, due to my sub-par communication skills s***s like pulling teeth for me
Ah ok... well I mean just try it and if it sucks just quit?
I would still imagine the interview felt easy because the gig is rough and people burn out & turn over quickly
The thing is I have a really cushy number at the minute..
So I'm a little apprehensive about leaving this job for that job, only to end up hating the new job and wanting the old job back!
My part time job in retail had a ridiculous turnover rate, insane and I still somehow lasted over two and a half years.
think you are just anxious op

I feel you. I say, go with your gut
Sales is a numbers game so they need more ppl to perform those telecalls easy entry but obviously if your not performing well your gonna get booted
Follow your gut feeling.
Sales people in my company do pretty well and make pretty good money more than us SWE’s, but then again our industry is in tech and they play a crucial role in revenue
Man non-engineering interviews are so easy. Every time I read about the process for other jobs I'm just reminded what a clusterfuck the interview process is for software engineers.
Btw OP you can look up reviews for the company to see if it's a good place to work or not.
Glassdoor, Blind, and Levels for Salary stuff.

You’re f***ed
You already know that this job isn’t really for you so just stick around a bit and stack up until you’re ready to leave (if you have to)
I'll try and keep this brief.
I graduated recently with a Business degree (by some divine intervention).
I want to get into Sales and so I applied for a telesales executive position with a multi-national Logistics company (Europe, HQ in my city).
They ask for a degree, outbound sales experience and SalesForce experience.
It basically means - you're in the office (part work from home also), on the phone.
It's mostly inbound (people asking for a quote), but some outbound/cold calling too.
Base salary + On Target Earnings.
I applied and got an interview, turns out I went to college with the new HR Admin girl, so I think she put in a good word.
The company is very close to the college, lots of alumni work there.
But the interview was too damn easy..
The team lead was interviewing me, the girl I know just sat in on the Zoom call.
Everything I said - she related back to Sales, the HR girl stayed quiet.
Spun a positive on everything, 'oh so you're competitive', 'goal orientated, great' etc.
Interview ended, got an email 2 hours later telling me I'd been successful and that I had an interview with the Sales Manager and the team lead (again).
It almost seemed too easy.
Plus there was a lot of talk about high pressure, deadlines, targets, get up and go, commission etc - that's just Sales but my parents thought it sounded s***ty.
What do you guys/girls think?
It's sales 100% and the "base salary" is a lie.
Don't do it, I promise you will regret it.
Be grateful. Long drawn out interviews and hiring processes are usually a waste of everyone’s time.
Cringe at the thought of engineers and s*** doing multiple round panel interviews just to get one decent job.
I work for a top 10 hospital in the country and my interview was like 20 minutes long and I got a straight up offer a few hours after the interview. You’re either qualified and make a good first impression or you don’t. Shouldn’t take more than that.
