As a woman in tech sales, I see so much toxic "hustle culture" content on LinkedIn - posts about working 80-hour weeks like it's a badge of honor. I want to comment and share posts to call them out, but I'm actively job hunting and scared hiring managers will think I'm difficult or not dedicated enough. Is it possible to be vocal online without damaging your reputation these days?

I completely agree with you re: toxic hustle culture, but if I were in your shoes, I would avoid commenting (for now, at least) only because it is so easy for people/recruiters who visit your profile to see your recent posts and comments. I think liking comments/posts that go against hustle culture could be a good way to push back, and hopefully once you're employed you can have more freedom in what you post

I internally agree with all of that. But social media is a show, too. Probably smart to avoid any issues with trying to call out things you don’t like if it can be seen negatively while job hunting.

The real badge of honor is having work life balance. I no longer care about hustle and grind. I care about spending time with the people and things that matter the most.

I have an interview with Korn Ferry for an associate principal role and am curious about others’ experiences have been with work-life balance here. Also, I have an idea of what I should be compensated in this type of role, but any insights on how they pay compared to others would be helpful. Are you traveling during the pandemic or have client interactions been virtual? Lastly, if you are a consultant here, are you on billable hours? My current consulting role is not - so this would be new.

Looking to get into SaaS sales but my experience is in construction and fine furniture (I was a sales manager and was able to lead my team of 4 people to consistently hit 450k monthly targets).

I have also considered a sales analyst role considering that I am moderately versed in Salesforce and have worked both the customer facing and sales generating side. TIA!
