Help? Been offered a business development role at GLG. I work in commercial banking.
Got 24 hours to respond. I am a finance analyst but offered a job in the team and wondering how hard do they go in on sales? They said no financial targets until year 2 but I’m sceptical.

I’ve never done sales before either and the job involves prospect and account mapping.
I was offered the job due to my transferable skills.
I will be in a small team of 4 but my role is the only business development position.

Sales is sales. You have to meet or exceed your targets. Get the no financial targets until year 2 part in writing. Out of curiosity how much time would you be comfortable with, to ramp up to having hard financial targets ?

I am in the customer service and sales side of travel insurance, and I am looking for a new job, possibly in another field. A much larger company purchased us 2 years ago, and over the last 6 months I have lost 2 designations, one as an advocate, which was my most rewarding. I was told that it had nothing to do with my performance. Any suggestions on how to obtain a position in another area? Such as going from strictly customer service and sales to advocate and claims? Thanks

Hello sharks,

Recently attended the TCS interview for the role of cloud architect and it went well.

HR asked me to upload all the documents and verified.
Then HR called me to discuss the salary and told me that she will inform the management.

Almost 3 working days after the call, haven't received any updates! Tried to call HR but not picking up the call. I assume it's because of these continuous holidays.

Is this usual!

Please let me know your thoughts and suggestions.
