I’m 32 years old, and before joining Break Into Tech I had no formal background in tech or sales. I was working in retail/customer-facing roles and, while I do have a degree, it wasn’t related to tech. I knew I wanted more long-term growth and stability, but I had no clear route into the tech industry.I joined the Break Into Tech Accelerator because I was stuck. I was applying for roles but lacked structure, confidence, and a proper strategy. I didn’t know how to position myself, what companies were really looking for, or how to stand out in interviews — and doing it alone wasn’t working.After around 6 months, I landed a Business Development Representative (BDR) role at Flatpay, a fast-growing fintech company. The role comes with a £45,000 OTE with uncapped commission, which felt like a huge step up from my previous roles. Seeing what others in the company have achieved (one new starter made £93,000 in their first year) really showed me the potential of this career path.Break Into Tech supported me in all the areas that mattered:*CV and LinkedIn optimisation that actually got recruiter responses*Interview prep and mock interviews that built real confidence*Mindset coaching and accountability, which kept me consistent*A supportive community that made the process feel achievable rather than overwhelmingI would 100% recommend Break Into Tech to anyone looking to change careers or break into tech sales — especially if you’re coming from a non-traditional background or feel like you’ve left it too late. This program gave me the structure, belief, and tools to make it happen.
