Hello,
I’m currently working as an Account Manager across two leading cloud companies, with a total of two years of experience. I graduated in December 2023.

I have around USD 10,000 allocated for learning, and I’m looking for the right short courses in sales or business fundamentals to build a strong foundation for my long-term goal of becoming a CEO.

What kind of short courses would you recommend, and which colleges or institutions are best for this purpose?

Hi everyone! I’m staring in an AE position to book demos with restaurants for their POS systems. How to prospect / have conversations and close the demos with them? I’m new to AE, used to be an interning SDR. Looking for tips and advice more towards the conversation factor. Thank you

Trying to figure out if I should start as an inbound SDR, or try jumping straight into an AE role in SaaS.

I left mortgages at the beginning of the year to start a franchise business, it's now semi-self-sufficient so wanted to start a career again and I live in the Silicon Slopes area. Everyone I know is in SaaS or software engineering.

Just wondering if I should push my resume as far as possible and try to snag an AE role or take my time in a new industry and start from the bottom.

Just received my first offer today for an SDR role and I’m trying to grind to the top of these tech sales positions. I’m in Atlanta and my OTE is 60,000. Where should I be looking to get near the 6 figure range starting out? I graduated from the University of Michigan Business school and I have two years 2 tech experience, if that helps. Thank you!
