I thought having a two hour 8 AM demo was bad, then thought having a two hour 7 AM was crazy.
Well I just had my first three hour 7 AM demo and holy crap was that horrific. 😴
Anyone that can top me with a 6 AM demo?

How is a demo so long? I never did a demo that lasted more than an hour.

It was a dual demo with a partner. Usually ours are just an hour.

Whoa a three hour demo at 7 AM? That's a whole new level of early bird torture! 😴 I feel your pain my friend. And here I was complaining about the two hour sessions. But hey if it makes you feel any better, I haven't had the pleasure of a 6 AM demo... yet.

I have a question, I got a contract role through a recruiter. Initially the recruiter offered the hourly pay rate which was the minimum in my range. Now I got an offer from the company. Now without me asking her she increased the hourly wage to the maximum range I asked. Which makes me doubt if the company increased it or she knew the rate all along but gave me the lower rate ?

I feel like I was straight up lied to during the interview process. “lots of opportunities to hit quota”. I’m sitting here with only one demo two months after joining the company. it looks like our team has only two people doing demos, and demos are only happening once every two weeks. At this rate, I don’t think I’ll be even close to hitting OTE. Are there any other companies hiring right now? I’ll have a discussion about my concerns with my manager soon, but there’s too many red flags here.

Currently a Solutions Consultant at Pegasystems.

I am interviewing at and considering making a jump to
Oracle as a Specialist Solutions Consultant.

The reason for my move is currently at Pega SCs are treated more as AEs or Account Managers. The role at Oracle would be more of a true SC position. I also feel that Oracle will look BETTER on a resume and someone as young as me would have BETTER programs in place to train me and give me the foundation needed to be a successful SC.

Thoughts?
