I am looking to get into sales and I’m meeting with a successful ex SAP AE, now in sales leadership at Microsoft for a chat. What are some things I should ask her to ensure I am making the right move? What are things you wish you had known before getting into sales?

As a note I am an SAP consultant and have been for nearly a decade. I mostly love to demo with my clients and get them excited for our implementations.

Hello All,

I am working with largest media company as a Deputy Manager for their IT department. The role and the team is very nice and its almost an year here. I don't feel like switching the job at all. Problem is that I don't earn much and most of the time I face money related issue.

Sometime I feel I should do part time but would like to know what should I do?

EAs who manage people / have direct reports -- did your title change when you took on people management? What is your official title now?

(Context - trying to decide what title to recommend for EAs in our org who now manage people. Currently, we have multiple levels, but all EAs have the "Executive Assistant" title regardless of seniority / level / manager status.)

How did you choose this area of law? How do you know when it's time to move to a different one?

Does industry have billable hours? At the big 4, we are required to work a certain number of hours each week and if we spend too much time on anything we are questioned on why it took so long. Is that a thing when you go in industry?

Hi Fishes,

I just received an offer from CTS -16.45LPA
16 - Fixed & 45k variable component with 1Lakh joining bonus. I'm having 5.8 YOE working as Senior ACon with current CTC - 11lpa
I have cleared 2nd round(managerial) with TCS direct project recruitment and waiting for salary negotiation. I'm confused whether to join TCS now itself (which might be too soon to settle down) or go for CTS for next 2 years. Please suggest me. My priorities are Steady growth, Work life balance, Job security.

Looking for advice! I was approved to work remotely but my salary will decrease 10%. I received two raises so the decrease brings me down to my previous salary. I was told that it’s due to the cost of labor in the area.

I’ve been with my company for 8+ yrs, I love my manager and the work I do (engagement, recognition, & wellness programs) but I feel like I’m limiting myself since I have the experience, an HRM degree, and SHRM-CP credentials.

Should I apply for roles outside the company?

Hello!
Can anyone tell me whether support role or dev role is better in salesforce company?

If anyone has any advice on what websites or resources to explore to figure out what careers and jobs are comparable with my degrees or if anyone has any information or experience with this please hit me up. I have a degree in biology and teaching credential

Any good books or articles worth reading on product marketing and analytics? I come from more of a technical and general product management background, so I personally feel like I lack on the marketing side. Like Search engine optimization, etc. Thank you.

Is getting into crypto law a bad idea or is it a burgeoning field??

MBB AP about to exit to non-FAANG tech. Would you expect a signing bonus and/or pre-determined severance pay if things don't work out with the new company? Anything else that people have negotiated during their exit? I'd be leaving a large amount of bonus on the table to leave before the end of the year.

I am interested in getting my SHRM-CP certification this year and I was wondering which study methods and materials worked best for those of you who passed the exam. Also, what are your roles in HR?!

Hi everyone! I’m currently open to a new role after working for 5 years at my agency. Most of my work at the agency has involved management, community engagement, data analysis, communications, and visual design.

I’m curious about trying something new, but feel a bit directionless. Any advice on what could potentially be of interest?

I have a younger family member (almost 13) who is very interested in cybersecurity. How can this person learn and grow in a safe manner if he/she isn’t near a city with youth clubs and etc? Idea is to reinforce ethics, but this material is far too advanced for the parents.

Left IBD to quickly - VP1 opps?

Long story short - was lured into an opportunity to do BD for a large PE PortCo… better work/life balance, but honestly miss the deal cycle.

Anyone know of open VP1 opps right now?

Thanks!

Does Globant terminates the employment of certain trainees after their probation(3 Months) based on their performance in the training period? Some of the fresher trainees were laid off this morning without giving a notice or reason.

We were told that the probation period is a training period & not an elimination one. It was shocking as a few of those trainees were actually good.

Trying to come up with some project work for my University Sourcers to complete that will benefit my team. Their most recent ask was to generate a list of universities in each state that we source from within iCIMS. What other projects have you found to be beneficial to enhance recruiting efforts?

Any experience with HIG Whitehorse (direct lending) interviews at Analyst/Associate level?

I’m interviewing. Who else?!

I renegotiated my start date and it’s different from the date I signed on the offer letter. Do I need to request a revised offer letter or is the email thread with the recruiter sufficient. By the way, my background check is already in progress.

Now that I got promoted to manager, I’m kind of missing the camaraderie that came along with being out on the floor with everyone else. Is that normal?

Anyone moved from consulting into a customer success role? I’m being recruited for one and think it would be a good fit. ~1.5 yrs experience in tech consulting on implementations.

I’m trying to decide wether to transition to one of the following, all within tech companies:

- Sales Engineering
- Tech sales (SDR)
- Customer Success

Which one would you choose based on career growth, income generation and network growth . For some context, I have some background as systems engineer.

Currently in sales but got an offer from BCG. I am now second guessing my decision to go into consulting because of the long hours and pay cut, but I also feel like I have to try consulting and I can always come back to sales. Thoughts?

Anyone here a sales engineer or something similar?
