I'm thinking ahead and debating next steps in buy-side versus LP advisory. For those who've left investing behind, what made you realize it was time to change course? Was it burnout, limited upside, or broader career goals?

Any insights into negotiating a full time salary in tech sales? Do I need competing offers to do so?

Hi! I’ve been approached by Securonix for a Sales Director role in NA. I know the field and their competitors. The pay is good but I’ve seen a handful of websites with employee rating that is really bad. Each site has roughly 10 reviews but most are negative. Mostly referring to toxic culture and zero work life balance. How true is this in this sales org and the company in general? This is a backfill role after a 3 year tenure for the person who left.

Anyone have input about moving from sales to professional services…looking for pros and cons to consider.

I cleared the interview and uploaded all the documents in the portal yesterday. Today mrng all the document verification was completed. But when I got the call for offer discussion, she asked what u expect. I said 9-10 LPA. She questioned me that on what basis I am asking for this much hike. She offered me 6.3 LPA as CTC with 21% variable. 5.2 as basic. Rest part in comments..
