Nope! At EY teammembers who have been to the places that I'm planning to visit give me pointers, team wishes me luck and have fun notes on email, usually they would keep copying me on emails for ongoing tasks while I'm away to keep me in loop but no expectation for a same day response, when i get back I'm asked about my trip and how it went. I'm sure it's the same everywhere because generally all people have similar values. Just be sensitive to when you take vacation so as to not put your team in a tight spot, that's just common decency.

Jesus ppl take your vacation! You work hard and should not feel guilty as long as you communicate your plans a your team if there is a deadline around that time. I go negative every year 😂😂

My wife is in sales at Mercedes and she has been averaging $200k a year and growing YoY. She loves her job, however she works long days and barely gets time off. We plan on having kids within the next year or two, and it’s highly u likely that she’ll be able to keep her current gig. We want to find a career that allows her to work remote or that at least gives her a better work life balance so that she can see her kids grow up. Should she get certifications to give her a shot at adtech?Too late?

Is anyone concerned the push for sexual equality in pay without accordant leveling of parental leave is gonna backfire?

Here’s a hypothetical:

A company has 2 candidates, aged 25-30, equal in every respect save one’s a man the other’s a woman. Maybe the woman is a slightly better candidate overall. They’d have equal comp.

Company considers the woman a riskier bet due to possibility she’ll take maternity leave — and considers the man less risky for his ineligibility to take as much leave. 🤷

Hi all, I have about 7 years of professional experience but only one year as a Customer Success Manager. I work on mid market accounts currently. I love my job, but would prefer to support a more robust platform that will allow me to add more value for my customers.

I’d appreciate your thoughts on what compensation you might expect for a CSM transitioning to a new company with one year of experience.

To clarify, I don’t have an offer yet, I’m just looking to make a move.

Thank you!
