Does anyone at Oracle know if these layoff rumors are true?

Does anyone here work for Carvana? I’ve had a recruiter reach out about a position several times but know they just went through some layoffs. Have they recovered and are they on a good track or is there still a lot of risk?

I've always have a constant fear of getting fired/ bad reviews - any little thing I do wrong or get feedback on I get I pretend I'm fine with but it really makes me even more anxious. Is this normal?

Anyone dealt with age discrimination at work or thought they were fired because of it? I have a strong hunch I was let go because I'm older than most of the team and they're trying to get a "fresh perspective." To me it just sounds like they're firing anyone over 50.

Do you have to return the sign on bonus if you get laid off, sign on period (2 years) has not yet passed. I would also like to know the firm's severance policy.

So someone I know asked HR about a boot policy. When he found out that there wasn’t one, but his boss said there was (who gave the guys $ for boots and the claimed it on his expense reimbursements as something else) the boss got mad at him for askingHR (and in trouble for the expense reimbursements) and then 2 days later laid off my friend. There appears to be no notice of bad performance and this person always was the first person on the job site ready to work. Thoughts?

Anyone concerned about the alleged “stealth” layoffs? Wondering which firms are doing this…

If you get fired due to performance issues can you still file for unemployment? If so, will you get enough money for rent and food?

Anybody who got laid off in the current wave and looking for a referral in Zalando in Germany, feel free to DM me. Happy to help.

Should people be fired for lack of people skills?

I got this invite shortly after. The place I’m interviewing at the job wouldn’t start til next year. I dont want to seem like a job hopper. Do i tell them I’m at a new role or just not bring it up?

I just bought an Alexa for my grandma's birthday. Her old radio broke and she's been kind of sad because she can't listen to her favorite music anymore while cooking, so I thought this would be a good pick. She'll have her favorite music right there.

Later today my grandpa tells me she's not been asking Alexa for her favorite music, but for her radio stations instead 😭😂

Hi everyone,
My company had name change recently from ABC to XYZ , this was after my h1b approval. Since this was merely a name change the attorneys confirmed that no amendment is required. All my documents (i-797a, LCA,i-129) has old name - ABC but my employee verification has new name - mentioning XYC (formerly known as ABC)
My question is - which company name should be on DS-160
Anybody faced this situation

Which Big Tech companies hire remotely? I’m based in Europe, but I’ve worked for US based companies before as a contractor

Did any PM or PMM get into b-schools like CBS or NYU to make the transition? Would love to chat!

I’ve always gotten the advice that when you want to switch jobs you should take interviews from places you’re not actually interested in, so you can understand your value in the market and have better negotiating power.

I’m doing that rn - took a couple interviews to gauge my skills, my market value, and see what I need to work on for interviews that I actually care about.

However, I feel really guilty about wasting their time and going all the way knowing I’ll just say no at the end. Wwyd?

Moving to Oregon from California in about a month. I don't know anyone in the city. Any suggestions on activities/cool sights to see?

Since it's a common chatroom, I'm hoping this question would be okay to ask here:
Is the Birla Planetarium open today (15 Aug)? Want to take my kids for a visit.

Interviewing with Gartner for business development manager position. I’m not sure where to start with salary discussion. Does anyone have info on a range for this position? Also interested in information about this position if anyone is familiar with the company. Thank you.

Seriously, is anyone getting replies? Or connects on the phone? I’m an SDR in the enterprise cybersecurity/data management space. Prior to ~august of this year, everyone on my team was hitting quota, if not, going over, for the last year.

I have been sending less volume of emails, doing a ok amount of dials a week but I’m getting nothing for the last couple of months. What is it like for you all?

Please include your industry /market size / what is or isn’t working for you

Hi, I am currently in the process of breaking into tech sales. One hurdle that I am trying to get over is being able to displaying my current role as a Materials planner into tech sales, I currently do alot B2B communication high volume emailing and calls. Any help would be appreciated.

Top SDRs oftentimes don't sound like traditional salespeople when cold calling. They use a very casual voice tone.

Here are a few tips:

1. Avoid upward inflections at the end of sentences. This makes it sound like everything you ask is a question
2. Slow down and eliminate buzzwords. Speaking fast makes you sound nervous and less confident
3. Avoid reading from a script - internalize your message and put it into your own works so you sound like YOU!

Thoughts? What are your top tips?

Do you leave voicemails for cold outreach? And if so, what do you say if they call you back?

Would anyone be willing to share their resume with me that includes their experience as a bdr? I’m currently looking for a new job and want to make sure mine will stand out! Any tips on which numbers and percentages to include and how I should word everything would be super helpful. Thanks!

I am looking to get into technical/engineering sales. Does anyone have any recommendations of where to start or places to look at? LinkedIn and other job postings sites are overwhelming and I’ve always wanted to get into sales. My background is industrial engineering with a minor in business and my current role is a mechanical engineer in manufacturing with about 6 years of experience. I want to work for a company or sell something that I am passionate about or have an interest in. Thank you!

I’ve been applying for a lot of SDR positions i have a couple of interviews set up for the next 2-3weeks. I have a total of 6 years sales experience whats a good salary range i should be aiming for? What did you make in your first year as a sdr?

I’m looking to jump into the tech industry as a BDR. Any tips on finding the right company?

any insights on bdr/sdr base salary in the bay area? tech sales!

Hi Team,

To those that are working in BDM Strategic Partnerships world, what is the expected salary range?

I am based in California with around 3 years of BD experience.

I am looking to see if this is a career path I am interested in pursuing so any advice or insight is greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Assessing whether I’m being compensated fairly after being passed over for pay raise request. Every BD in the US got a raise. 5 years of experience as a BD. I am now the only person managing BD for the whole of Canada for several service lines. US based finance related company. I report to one manager & the CEO. No commission, just salary and bonus. Been here for almost 2 years and we’ve doubled employees and are opening multiple offices. What would the appropriate compensation be for my role?

Hello everyone, what sort of certifications will help to enhance Skills related to Tech sales ? Specifically for BDR roles . Answers will be highly appreciated.

Currently an event coordinator for a company and looking to move into either another event coordinator role or into an SDR or BDR role. Does anyone know of any opportunities?

I saw this question in another bowl and I wanted to bring here to hear your insights: Is there a “proper time” to move out/get promoted from a SDR/BDR position?

Is it possible for someone without a degree or tech experience to get a fully remote entry level SDR or BDR role? If so, how? My sister’s boyfriend was fairly successful at a call center a few years ago but has only worked low wage jobs since. Any steady job would be a step up. My current employer wants 2+ YOE in a “professional environment” for the BDR role, which would likely be a barrier even with a referral.

What’s your base pay & how do you feel about it?

Are there any resources you found helpful in improving your skills as a BDR, specifically around drafting compelling emails? Looking to refresh some language and struggling to find resources that aren't gimicky. Any advice appreciated.

What’s the best way to transition into tech sales?

I have 3 years of consulting (2.5 at EY, .5 at boutique) in finance and analytics. I’m struggling on looking for roles because I’m afraid I will go down in comp (currently base 105)
