Not a chance. Does anyone actually enjoy interacting with C Suites and AEs as an SE?

No, I really don't think that I would. Call me shallow or whatever but pretty much the only reason I do what I do is for the paycheck. If it was really up to me and money was no object I'd probably be working at a bakery, making bread all day, surrounded by the delicious flurry of scents coming from the ovens. Maybe one day, who knows what life has in store.

Yeah I would tbh. I honestly don’t know what it’s like outside of my company. So maybe we do something different but I work with a great team and have a legit director who keeps all the bs off of me so I do what I do best.

Yes but if money wasn’t a factor maybe not full time. When you get a team at the prospective customer buzzing with excitement about selecting you…that’s the best.

Hello,
Can we get promotion after the mid year review in CitiusTech?
Or the promotion for the mid year already done?
I see for many people the designation has changed but for me it's not. I was under the impression that the promotion happens after the mid year discussion or after the year end discussion.
Can someone please tell the details and when we can expect the new revised letter mentioning the new designation.

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.

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?
