I started as an SDR with a 56K base and a 160% commission cap getting to approximately 67K total. I graduated recently and know of others with 2 years or less experience making much more without caps. I went to school for sales leadership where I graduated top 5% of my class. Looking to be an AE / account manager because I rule at pitching and close winning. Then (because people mistake “years of experience” as a valuable metric) into enterprise. Any advice from mentors in tech sales?

Hello! I have a two part question: 1) is it worth it to obtain an SHRM specialty credential if I don’t have the broader SHRM certification? 2) has anyone gotten the People Analytics or Talent Acquistion credential? If so, how valuable was it from a learning perspective? Do you feel it significantly contributed to your knowledge in either area? Thank you!

Anyone know anything about LDWW?

I was just talking to a younger friend who goes to Cal and It seems like the kids these days hate FAANG or at least Amazon and Facebook are not desired at all.

Has anyone found a way to automate salary certifications?

We get about 3-5 requests daily to fill out salary certifications for our employees in EMEA.

At the moment, we have to do all of them manually. We open a pdf, then open their employee file and plug away. It's tedious and time-consuming, but the banks I found won't accept an internal salary certification for some reason. They're adamant about using their form. Has anyone come across this?
