Yes. How is this a question?

Counter opinion. It’s completely fine if your video is off. 🤪

There are lots of things one does in their own home that shouldn't be seen on Zoom.

Yes. No one wants to watch you smoke.

If you wouldn’t do it at a meeting in the office, don’t do it at a meeting on zoom.

Yes. I don’t even eat on zoom calls unless it’s with a subordinate.

Why is it OK with a subordinate?

I think it is. I understand if it's a casual convo but if you're talking about work it should be respected as an actual meeting.

Only if your camera and mic are off.

Hey everyone,
I have a second round interview with a saas company selling education software. This interview will be a 30 minute zoom call with the VP of sales. I am someone from a non- traditional background with 2 years of sales-ish roles but no experience in tech sales and no straight forward sales job.
I did a tech sales bootcamp. Im just worried about what questions he will ask me? Im thinking more technical in terms of sales processes and even sales funnels? Any thoughts?

How many emails and/or Slack messages do you receive and respond to on a typical day? My employer wants everything answered within 24 hours but in reality responses need to be made almost immediately. This makes getting back on task and being productive almost impossible when there are constant interruptions. Any advice on this or asking for accommodations?
