Hi, I'm Ritu. I didn't start technical either.
My first job was in sales, as a Relationship Manager at a bank. I left within 3 months. Later I joined an influencer marketing agency in business development and grew into Growth Head, leading a team of 34.
Years ago, while I was earning ₹37K a month, I spent ₹60K on a course. My parents didn't know. My elder brother funded it, with no real hope of getting his money back. That decision taught me to keep investing in myself, and I've put lakhs into learning since.
In 2024 I taught myself Clay from LinkedIn posts, YouTube and Clay University. I didn't wait for job posts. I built workflows for companies I wanted to work with, recorded Loom walkthroughs, and cold-pitched them.
First GTM engineering role, remote with a UK company.
Switched to a remote role with a US agency.
A raise at the same agency, about 12 months after my first role.
Teaching GTM engineering on Instagram at @revenue.engineer.
I'm not smarter than you. I learned a skill very few people had, and I started early. This cohort is everything I did, turned into a 12-week system.
