From Physiotherapy to Tech Sales - How Marius found his ideal job at Vivira

Before hyrise

As a trained physiotherapist, Marius began his healthcare career in a traditional manner. He relished the personal interactions and the opportunity to physically help people through his work. However, as time passed, he realized the job was both physically and mentally taxing. Marius found it challenging to envision himself working in this field until retirement.‍

💡 Fun Fact: Marius is now a proud cat dad of two furry “coworkers”! 🐾

Marius decided to make a career shift and moved into sales in the photovoltaic industry. For a while, he combined this role with his work as a physiotherapist, yet his heart still leaned toward the healthcare sector.

Marius’ Experience with hyrise

In his search for a home office role, Marius came across hyrise. The prospect of no longer being tied to a specific location and instead working flexibly from home was particularly appealing to him. Since his wife had recently started a degree program, Marius wanted the flexibility to better align with her schedule and enjoy more time together.

The job at Vivira offered the ideal blend: he could now merge sales with healthcare while eliminating the commute. The switch to remote work and the additional time gained were a major benefit for Marius.

With his two cats as coworkers, he could fully focus on his new role while still enjoying family life.

Marius’ Entry into Tech Sales

Thanks to training, Marius feels well-prepared and notices that the content extends beyond simple sales skills.

One thing that particularly surprised Marius was the ongoing support from hyrise, even after he had been hired.

“I’m pleasantly surprised. Even though I already have sales experience, I learned a lot from hyrise. The workshops and constructive feedback during onboarding were fantastic. It’s nice to see that hyrise not only supports the transition but also actively shapes it.”

Marius especially appreciates the structured process at hyrise, which helped him connect directly with potential employers.

“It was like Tinder - you could just swipe and see what you liked and didn’t like. The clear structure and personal support make starting out really easy.”

Advice for Job Seekers

Looking back, Marius recommends taking as many interviews as possible.

“You only really get to know a company’s philosophy through conversations - whether virtual or in person. It’s not only good practice but also the best way to assess your own fit.”

Marius’ journey demonstrates that a career change can open up new opportunities and flexibility, without needing to leave behind what you’ve already learned. Instead, you can combine your past experiences to create something new and even better. With hyrise, Marius found his dream job, embracing the freedom of working from home with the support of his team at Vivira - and the company of his two cats.
