Anyone else here dislike sales?

So I graduated from college in June 2024 with the intent of going into front end development, or UI/UX design. Job market isnt great, and especially isnt great for those fields. I felt like I had to broaden my job search and fast forward later I'm in sales.

I told myself that I would give it a shot and see how I like it.

2 full months into this role and I dislike being in sales or at least the entry level sdr/bdr role. I know im a baby in the sales/corporate role but this is also for me to document how I feel lol.

I've hit above both of my quotas and while the high's of booking a meeting and hitting quota is nice I still am unsure this role is for me. Calling 80 people all day is so soul crushing to me. I don’t really see myself going into a closing role after this tbh. But who knows maybe things change.

I went to a top public university that is considered a "STEM school" so alot of my class mates were super nerdy overachievers.

I’m discovering that I miss using my brain in an analytical sense. A lot of my courses in college were a mix of math, coding, design, data analysis classes.

Felt like going into sales was a complete 180 for me. At the same time i’m also very grateful to have a job in this job market. Grass isn’t always greener on the other side but i’m exploring my exit opportunities once i get to the 1 year mark.
