Do you have any insight into quota and average deal size at both?

I would also encourage you to consider who the target audience is at each and what size organizations your selling into. In my opinion, the one with the more senior buyer at the larger organization is the better opportunity and better for your professional development.

I work in transportation and have done business with both companies. I’m not sure about how it is to work with them but I can say that I did get good feedback from those working at XPO and they seemed happier. I know this isn’t much but figured I’d mention it anyway.
Good luck!!

I would go for XPO. I have heard really great things about them overall.

XPO for growth but before you make a decision take some time to look at what XPO is currently going through with their split and if youd like to be a part of that. XPO will be much more fast paced and more learning but I imagine your WLB will also reflect that

I’m so lonely I forgot what feeling wanted feels like. It’s almost as if I’m numb to the human need of feeling desired and I’ve accepted my fate of solitude. I’m not sad about this, that’s what makes it numb. Life feels bland but not terrible. I have no expectations of anyone to ever want me nor am I resentful that I am alone. Is this normal?

Hi everyone,
I want to learn Salesforce Tableau CRM (formerly known as Einstein Analytics) and switch to a different organisation. In my current company stuck in a project where there's no learning scope, no growth and work culture is toxic. Now I'm only going through Trailhead, YouTube playlist videos and practicing hands on in my free personal org. Are these enough to crack interviews or not? I don't have real-time project experience.

I was recently promoted, and now part of my team report to me. I'm now able to see their pay rates and I am honestly so disappointed in the company. Especially since we just gave annual raises in Feb, plus we can all see where the money is going and it's not to the employees. Makes me sick

How would you rate your ratios for work, play, and rest?

My life's mostly been 85% work/serious stuff (includes academia), 10% rest, and 5% play.

I've only started to learn to rest more this year and learning to accept lower productivity (was part of the hustle culture).

Q: How do I learn the concept of play? Didn't have that in my childhood growing up. All serious, no fun. Has anyone transitioned successfully?

I feel like a boring, old lady 😔😒

What is your definition of play?

My sales lead just gave me my quota for the year. Its increased 120% from last year. I asked if my peers experienced the same increase and the answer is No because I have more experience and up for promo this year. Our bonuses are a % of quota achieved meaning it’s harder for me to get a bonus. Do you think this is fair? What would you do? For additional context, I crushed my quota last year but I feel like I’m being punished now.
