Are you all working through the end of the year? I took off and it’s been “frowned upon”, but like, our prospective clients aren’t opening emails on a regular day, why they’re thinking it’ll be different now is beyond me. I’m still sending them though.

Nope. I'm off until 1/5. There is nothing happening right now and we all know it. Agree with letting your manager frown. It's your PTO to use as you see fit. Taking it when there's nothing going on is a win for the company. They should be smart enough to realize it.

Thank you SM1, I took the time off and enjoyed it. All is well.

I had a director once complain that he’s going to set a mandate that people can’t take vacation in q4… sir have you lost your mind???

What a clown. Sorry for the delayed response. I took off and completely unplugged from LinkedIn and Glassdoor too.

I hope you enjoyed every moment

Let them frown. I'm not going to be chasing clients when they are spending time with their family and trying to recover from their own work year. I am available if anyone calls, but that's it. I'm not back to it until the 5th.

I took the time and didn’t care. It all worked out

I had a job interview for a role that I really want. The hiring manager scheduled me for an interview and did not show up. Emailed me an hour later stating that he got super busy and couldn’t attend, and would like to reschedule. This is a major red flag, but I can’t help but feel that I am missing out since this role pays 50% over what I currently make. Should I let the recruiter know? What’s your take on this?

Do most tech/SaaS companies make prospective employees sign NDAs? I'm interviewing for the first time in awhile and am entering into a final round with a company who wants me to sign an NDA prior to the interview. I'm hesitant to do so - especially since I am not sure if I even want to work for this company yet. Is this standard procedure?

Is it a red flag if, after almost two years in a full quota carrying and selling role I want to take a lower role at another company in order to break into a field (tech sales) I want to work in? It’s better pay - closer to home and at a company with a better reputation?

I currently work out in the field selling to customers that have no idea I am coming and I consistently perform at the top of my market.
