I have a little over a year of experience as a Partner Success Manager at a Tech company. My company is looking to do salary negotiations this year.

Today I was thinking about different sales experiences I’ve had–both as the buyer & the salesman. What was the best and/or worst sales experience you’ve ever had as a customer?

Ads seems the easiest, but even then there's time and overheads... I've been looking for a reliable model.

Hey everyone. I'm joining JPMC next week and was wondering do they provide a budget to purchase your own laptop/equipment. My manager said they don't provide laptops and that I can use my own. My laptop isn't the best so I would want to buy a new one.
