Been in sales all my professional life, and am pretty good at it too... but I am tired of it, and ironically, my personality is NOT one of a sales person. 
 
I am actually quite introverted and would prefer to not talk to people/be in social situations, lol. 
 
I am looking at getting into IT - get onto the other side of things.  I was just laid off of my sales job, so now it's a tough choice - I have some companies already wanting to hire me into another sales role, and the money is fantastic.... I also have another opportunity to be a Business Analyst, which would be a contract position, and less money... tough decision for me coming up, haha.

5 years later, still in sales.
However, found a company that just fits. Love it. Promoted to a manager (first manger based in Canada in the company) 18 months in and now run my own team who are all based out of the US. Best company I have ever worked for - culture is amazing, the vertical team I am on is incredible, and I have never been part of the insane growth my company has experienced this year.
