Do you intentionally try to meet new people at job fairs, conferences, and networking events, or do you mostly spend time with people you already know? I've noticed that many attendees naturally gravitate toward coworkers and familiar faces (which is completely understandable) but sometimes it seems to defeat part of the purpose of being there. Curious to see where people fall on this.

I tend to gravitate toward people I already know. However, at my last event, I tried to make a point to introduce myself to 5 new people. Having a small, achievable goal made it less overwhelming and I actually did it!

That’s a really smart way to approach it. Five new people feels specific enough to push yourself, but not so much that it turns the event into a chore. I might try that next time.

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?

Additional Posts in Jobs in Finance

Hey all! I have an interview with
Deloitte in Regulatory Risk and more precisely in their Investment Management Services team. I would like to know if anyone
knows what the job entails exactly. I keep hearing about people "fooled" into taking a job in risk advisory thinking it'll really be advisory while they only end up doing IT and Audit support (which I do not want to do).
Is it the case here?
Thanks!

Need career advice. Trying to break into a finance role, preferably an Analsyt role but I have no transferable experience. I worked as a mortgage loan officer (which is sales) for 2 years after college, but since mortgage is such a niche industry, no hard skills transfer and have no relevant undergrad internships unfortunately. I know I can essentially get any sales job I want in finance IE: financial advisor etc. but don’t want to be stuck in sales forever. Any advice?
