Hi All, new to IFS! Excited. I’m a mom so this transition is LONG over due... coming from financial services advisory. Any advice on how to make this a good experience and quirks I should know about?

Welcome to IFS! IFS is really varied, diverse teams. So advice will be team specific. A lot of the things that are true in advisory probably hold true for my team (network, get into good graces of more than one partner, etc). Another thing I would say is that you need to take the lead on setting work-life boundaries. If you don't do that early on, it's easy to get pulled into a thousand directions.

Thank you! Great advice/reminder re getting to know more partners. I can already see that establishing WLB is something of an effort, I thought it might be culturally normal but am seeing that it’s not... bummer. But I’m happy that no partner can say it’s a “client deadline” so we need to do it now.

Can someone please tell the details and when we can expect the new revised letter mentioning the new designation.

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?
