Hi everyone 👋

Currently exploring a move into tech sales after working in commercial sales within the Premier League.

My background is mainly sponsorship sales, strategic partnerships and high-value commercial negotiations, and I’m now looking at AE opportunities in SaaS — especially companies like Salesforce.

Long term, my wife is American so we’d also love to eventually move to the US.

Would love to connect with anyone who’s made a similar move or has advice on breaking into the industry.

Do anyone feel that they are not at right place/right track in their career?

Hi #Airbus fishes, Can someone throw some light on the the different grades/designations ? I see E4 , Technology Lead mentioned in my offer letter.

Guys I need a referall for deloitte- Please help

Thanks for starting this bowl. I am fairly new to fishbowl and I would consider myself a non-traditional candidate for consulting, looking to pivot out of industry. Would love to get some help and be mentored on how I could make this happen?

Human interest stories might not be where the money is, but making the switch has saved my sanity after the tragedy I’ve covered the past few years.

You know what sucks?

Moving to London in September - looking for a place to live! Any recommendations on neighborhoods?

I'm a marketer and I'm having a hard time getting my clients to listen to me.

I have been in marketing for 10 years now. I've worked with hundreds of clients and have been able to increase their sales by over $1 million each year.

But every time I go into a meeting with a new client, they ignore everything I say. They just want to talk about their product. They don't seem interested in learning how to market it better.

Hello Fishes,
@Mindtree,
After CTC discussion with HR,she said she sent for approval.
Still no update from her end.
How much time it may take to get her back,as i have resigned in advance.
Resignation was based on technical rounds clearance confirmation and also due to headache for shortage of calls,for 90 days NP.

Would you accept the same amount of money to leave Big4 (no salary bump)? Perks are knowing you’ll work less, more flexibility, less stress, no busy season hours etc.

Guys,

Curious to know what's the salary range for Junior Engagement Manager in Workday consulting for overall 9 year of experience in India at big 4?

Hello fishes,
I am actively looking for a change. please let me know if there is any opportunity for me.

Hi Sharks,

I got an Offer from IBM India. My tech stack is SAP Successfactor.

1) What is the maximum CTC i can negotiate for band 7B ?
2) How is SAP Successfactor practice in IBM ? Are there any good projects?

What are some tips for losing weight when all I want to do during the workday is eat and have a couple drinks at night when I’m done?

Can someone explain to me what the big whoop is about working in IB? Hours seem nuts from what I read in the bowls. What am I missing? Is it the pay?

I’ve been a club performing rep for years at a SaaS company…but as an enterprise account exec… my average deal size is around $75k in annual recurring, quota of $1M. This is inline for my company but low when I speak with others for Enterprise rep openings. Any thoughts on recommendations for steps to bridge that gap?

What are the best SDR courses or schools out there? Be 100% transparent

Any Tech Sales leaders have insights on how much I can expect to earn as a sales leader (director / VP) at Scale AI?

Enterprise & Senior AEs: what is your commission percentage of a deal.
Our average deal size is 250k, and I wanted to know I.e if you closed a 1.2m dollar deal what base/standard commission percentage of that would you make?

Any insights into negotiating a full time salary in tech sales? Do I need competing offers to do so?

Any ZScaler Commercial AEs here?

Just got a call about a 96k base:
/160k OTE role out of Plano TX

I’m intrigued but I want to know 2 things:
1. Culture/WLB - how is it?
2. Realistic market opportunity/opportunity to crush quota (obv dependent on many things)

Background: Currently making 95k/160k OTE at a boutique research and consulting firm. I’m happy but we’re extremely flat with little to no opp for promotion in the next 2+ years.

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

I’m a Mid Market Account Executive , just signed, and my annual TC is $250k , base is $110,000 , $10k signing bonus, $80k in options, and $110,000 variable. Is this right for the market?

Started as a BDR and got moved into partnerships within the same org. Comp was initially 75k CAD with OTE 120K CAD. New comp for new partner channel I am carving out, I am offered same base but guaranteed 75% quota attainment payout. Is this a fair comp? Would love any constructive thoughts/points on this. Company is in eComm vertical
