Hello all! in the cruise sales industry for about 8 years. always been a top producer but my last job I was at a cruise line that went belly up. Salaries in cruise industry are very low 20-40k and work hours are awful. I’ve always been a top performer everywhere I go (making 150kish a year) but am seeing these six figure salaries in saas sales etc. Do saas companies hire top producers from other industries? Where is a good place to start? Ton of experience in sales force and coaching others too.

Does your job email a bunch of hoorah emails congratulating reps on sales? It just becomes a bit annoying and demotivating especially when it’s the same person at times.

I work on-site in a manufacturing facility. I'm leading a project where I'm the expert. I want to transition into a more flexible/ hybrid role (not necessarily with the company). How do I bring this up to my manager?

Anyone here ever transition from a big bank FPA role to a big tech Finance role? Id like to eventually move over (google/Amazon/apple/meta/LinkedIn etc).

I’ve applied to google 3 times but my resume was pretty much auto rejected even though I was qualified for the roles. I’ve even tried referrals.

Any tips or stories?

I work part-time as a freelance designer in a marketing agency and recently asked my boss for more hours. He said he'll help me with more projects but all he's done is assign more work to me without extending my hours, and he said he's not willing to pay me overtime. Now I'm scared to lower my workload because he will just say I am lazy and don't want to work. How do I get out of this?

Any thoughts on an exit to DirecTV? It seems like they’ve been hiring like crazy since the split from AT&T. I know streaming/entertainment is a pretty crowded space, but the work on DirecTV Stream seems exciting as a potential competitor to YoutubeTV, Hulu+, Sling, etc. I’ve seen rumors of a DTV/Dish merger down the road as well, but think with DTV having a larger share (and still being owned by AT&T) they would win out. Thinking something in the analytics/strategy space. Thanks in advance.

We have a project that would generate social impact, and our short term goal is propose it to ASHOKA to help us develop it. Before that we would like to assemble a team that will be part of “the board” with all the resource we are needing and most importantly people that “empathically share our preoccupation for the immigrants”. Could you give us some ideas of where and how should we be recruiting them? Actually as you could note, HR is not one of our calcifications.

It’s interesting to me how people say things like “the week is going by fast” as if it’s a great thing. Shouldn’t we want time to go slowly? Once it’s gone you never get it back, plus we’re not guaranteed to get anymore time. If you dislike work so much you want it to go by as fast as possible it may be time to make some changes.
