I got into sales late in life. I’ve been in IT sales inside/BDR for about 5-6 years. I have been one of the top inside sales people at both the companies I have worked at but cannot get promoted to an outside role. I’m 52 years old. Does anyone know a place that will give an old guy that will work hard an opportunity to get to the outside? Feel like I’m stuck.

Is it just me or do 90% of the jobs being laid off by big tech sound made up? Many job descriptions with multiple bullet points that all kinda revolve around the same idea. One of my buddies works for a big IT company and literally just sits on meetings all day. No one really contributing to anything other than agreeing to whatever the speaker is saying. Are these kind of jobs finally being exposed? Six figure employees getting paid to sit and bounce ideas off each other?

As I'm moving to a new role in a small company, I have a doubt about my salary structure like the Basic salary part is only 20,000 while my take home is 62k after all deductions.

I'm concerned because the leave encashment & other things totally depends on the basic salary.

Are there not any rules for the Basic salary to be at a certain % of CTC or it depends totally on the company?

Also PF deductions they are offering only 1800 p.m but considering 20000 basic it should be 12% of 20000 right?

Anyone here works for Johnson Controls? I have heard mixed reviews about the company. Not sure if I should make the jump based on what I’ve heard so far. For context, I am looking at a security account executive role.

My company blames my generation for not being able to hire everyday. “You guys don’t want to work” coming from some overweight, racist, old coaster. I’ve barely taken any days off this year and pick up “skeleton crew” days any chance I get. I was able to work out a deal with my company before I came because of prior experience luckily, but they offer a terrible base salary and sham of a commission structure to new hires + no remote. Then sit here and can’t figure out why…

Anyone else in “I’ll do my job description and nothing more” mode?
