Has anyone made the switch from manufacture sales to tech sales? If so, what steps did you take? I have been in sales for about 12 years now. Would love any advice.

in a high paying sales job where i could do nothing and make 240k total comp or work my ass off and get capped at ~300k total comp, after taxes doesnt seem worth it. i have zero motivation to work yet zero motivation to leave. doesn’t seem right

**Looking for a Sales/ Territory Management role** I am a young, outgoing sales professional with 3 years of business-to-business sales experience!! If anyone knows of a position open, any help is greatly appreciated.

As an AM, how would you approach a situation where your stakeholder (a sysadmim) doesn't want you to contact people in the org directly, but rather go through them.

How do you balance the wishes of the relationship owner and your desire to grow the client?

For context: SaaS, current user base 150, total user base 50k+

So I just started at a new company about 5 months ago. I’m already looking to leave. My boss should not be in the director of HR role she in, she does not have the experience for it. She was put into that role because the prior director left and she was the senior most person on the team. I’m also not connecting with anyone on my team. I don’t feel fulfilled or happy here. Should I be leaving so soon? I assume if I do apply to other places, my short tenure here will be a red flag. Thoughts?

Hi all - I'm looking for help defining our rating scale in terms of our company values. We rate on a 5-point scale of Unsatisfactory to Exceptional Performance. We rate against four company values and five competencies. It was easy to define the rating scale against the competencies, but I'm having a really hard time defining them for the values. I've tried Googling and everything I find is geared more toward competencies. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

I’m looking to hire someone to do basic data entry. Anyone have a service that they like?

Labor Day is coming up quick. What is your company's go-to gimmick? (custom gifts, deep discount, special customer testimonials, etc)

Has anyone bought/ done the HRCI Certificate in Diversity and Inclusion in HR Management? I already have my PHR, but I’m looking to gain more knowledge/skills and beef up my resume. Is it worth doing? The course is $239 and you get 12 Recert credits with it.

Does anyone need a hr coordinator, or entry level talent acquisitions coordinator that is 100 remote? Remote jobs are extremely competitive and when I find job posts on LinkedIn there are already over 100 applicants. Very competitive!I am open minded about salary,I have so much interest in expanding my skills. I have about a year of recruiting in the staffing industry and 6 months as an hr assistant for a corporate/manufacturing company. MA in Hr and will be testing for phr in July. Thank you

How would you respond if you were told no one was getting promotions due to how your organization did in the first quarter, however it’s May 2nd and now you are seeing several promotions on LinkedIn?

Any good resources or training for a new manager anyone recommends?

How do account directors differ from sales executives?

Where’s the line between giving your leaders the benefit of the doubt vs this pattern is pretty dang toxic? I don’t want to leave but I’m so exhausted by the gate-keeping, the self-interest of leaders lacking any kind of employee first mentality, and the lip service of “we want to make this the best place to work.” I’m being told I’m under-utilized but when I try to bring more to the table, I’m either given empty promises or immediately dismissed. - I’m severely burnt out on trust-fails.

Thoughts on SPHR vs SPHRi? I have PHR currently. Current company is growing internationally so I'm debating which route to go.

I’m so done with sales. I’m burnt out and uninspired with my job. The pay is nice, but I need something more fulfilling and less stressful. I want to be able to keep working while I figure out my “why” but I don’t want to rip my hair out in the process. *7 YOE, 6 mid market, 1 enterprise* Any ideas for an easy transition job away from sales that isn’t a giant pay cut?

Any thoughts on the best certifications to get in order to help move forward? I have considered the CCP from World at Work, but it’s fairly pricey to get by the time you wrap up everything. I was looking at both SHRM-CP and SPHR. Everyone that I have spoken to has the SHRM, but that’s also only looking at individuals in a small geographic footprint and within 3-4 different companies. I was hoping to get some thoughts on this from others? Thanks

Any tech recruiters here ? I'm looking to join the field. What can a tech recruiter expect to earn in a corporate/in house role ?

How do you deal with the stress of having appointment after appointment during working hours, while being unable to be clear about why/where you’re going?
My wife works in the corporate world and is - unfortunately, rightfully - afraid that the knowledge of our IVF process would destroy chances of her possible imminent promotion. Going for appointments in the middle of the day (early am when possible) forces her to lie - which is a horrible situation to be in. What have others done?

Hi amex fishes,
I had received laptop and joining kit from amex. Not joined and I want to return. I physically visited ggn and offered to return they declined that would be handled later. Asked them to pickup on 1st Aug. Repeatedly calling and mailing no response. I would be relocating to diff city on 17. Communicated that to HR already.
I don't want them to disturb me after 17th till diwali as I would not be available. They are not responding. I want to escalate finally. How to escalate this.
