I’d way rather take a quick no right out of the gate than spend months babysitting a pipeline full of maybes that are never going to close. Are you glad when they just cut to the chas or do you try to save the deal?

Send me your “maybes” - don’t ask for a split.

Lol 😆

Nearly 7 months into unemployment, having my hopes dashed 100% of the time thus far, I am beginning to feel the same way about job interviews.

Im sorry to hear about that. This job market for the past several years has been brutal. Hope you land somewhere you want soon

Give me a quick no every time. I have wasted far more energy chasing maybes than recovering from outright rejection.

Given my other life responsibilities, this is creating a huge strain & I feel like this is slowly getting harder & harder on my spouse & kids. I'm grateful to have lots of good work but not sure how to course correct.

I work in field sales as an IC. My aspirational career path is to end up in people leadership.

Or should I continue down the field path and wait until those field management slots open up?

Asking for a friend:
My friend received two job offers for Account Executive roles: a Mid-Market role with Confluent and an Enterprise role with ThoughtSpot. He’s conflicted because Confluent is a more established company, ThoughtSpot is Pre-IPO. Confluent is a lucrative product to sell and has established SDR reps so there’s a good blend of inbound and outbound sales. Thoughtspot is more of a startup culture where most of the sales comes from outbound and it’s a tougher sell.
