I have an interview with Shopify…

I have an upcoming interview with Shopify and I’m curious what life is like there ie, are targets achievable, is management easy to work with and how toxic is the sales team.

Any and all info welcome.

I was a former AE there. Look at the most recent negative reviews from the sales org… they are all true. Literally the only benefit working there at this point is being fully remote and a strong base salary (but don’t know if that’s changed for the worse). Unrealistic quotas, book of business were all recycled accounts, career progression felt near impossible, and they have an audit team with ridiculous ROE’s that will literally try to screw you out of getting comped for a deal. Best of luck.

Lucky duck! I'm jealous, I've been trying to get an interview there, not in sales though. I've heard nothing but great things overall but can't speak to sales positions directly. I see this post was from two weeks ago, how did it go? Did you land it?

I owned a business for 6 yrs and had a B2C sales role for 3 yrs after (not SaaS).

I currently own the entire (long) sales cycle from prospecting to account management. I’d like to stay in a similar role in another company. Will I have a difficult time landing an SDR/BDR, AE or CSM role elsewhere? I’m a 48 yo female.

Made a career pivot to another agency. During the interview we talked about how it may start as initially a "step backwards" (pay/benefits) but has potential for more long term growth. First day was yesterday. Had no communication about when or where to show up, sat in an empty office for about half an hour before a couple people finally showed. No phone call or email. Sent an email to the founder, no response. I could easily get my old job back if wanted.

What would you do in this situation?

I found Google and Facebook recruiters to be efficient and TikTok so-so, if not a little slow, but 6 days+ seems poor.

After doing freelance for the last two years, I’ve decided to go back to the corporate world. I’ve been applying a ton of places but keep getting turned down immediately - not even a first interview and I can’t figure out why.

I feel like I have a lot of good accolades as far as awards, a graduate certificate program board I’m on, really good stats from my previous work, etc.

I have 7 years experience. Are people looking for someone w/ less experience/cheaper?

My company covers in depth results each week, including meetings set/attended, wins, revenue, retention etc. I feel as if evaluating in such depth is detrimental to the psyche, as you never get to “ride the high.” In addition, some weeks are simply slower than others, and it’s not always representative of what the results at the end of the period or quarter will be. Is this not a big deal, and I’m I placing too much importance on it? Or is it beneficial to review results less frequently?
