Dealership Sales Pro: Pivot to Tech/Consulting with Self-Taught Programming

A high-earning dealership sales professional, feeling unfulfilled but with self-taught Ruby on Rails & Python skills and a passion for 'inventing, innovating, and fixing/optimizing problems,' has significant potential in tech or consulting. Leverage your 10 years of sales/management experience into Business Analyst, Process Improvement Specialist, Product Manager (combining market insight with technical solutions), or Technical Sales/Solutions Architect roles. Showcase your programming projects (even internal ones) and quantify process improvements from your dealership work. Your analytical thinking, problem-solving, and automation skills are highly valued. Consider upskilling through a bootcamp or certifications to formalize your tech knowledge and build a portfolio.
