Looking to buy my first luxury watch. Love this seamaster chronograph. Do ADs have wiggle room when it comes to negotiating? Or am I stuck paying msrp? What other options do I have?

I worked at an Omega AD (Timeless Luxury Watches); we absolutely discounted new timepieces. Expect 10-20% depending on the piece and your negotiation skills. An Omega Boutique however, will likely not discount. The difference is a boutique is a stand-alone store owned by the brand that only sells their brand. A retailer , like Timeless, is an AD for many brands and has more flexibility when it comes to pricing.

You can literally call Timeless, tell them John sent you, and work out a deal where they’ll ship the watch to you for free and you’ll also save on sales tax (assuming you don’t live in TX).

Recently got 20% off + no tax on a new Omega so there is definitely flexibility. Rolex on the other hand.. 🥶

omega store will not negotiate. ADs probably will if used. unlikely if new but not completely unheard of.

I really need advice. I’ve been in my current role for a couple years and I’m just so defeated. I am good at my job. I work so hard and I’m so undervalued and unappreciated. My work is scrutinized to a degree that no one else experiences (I could give concrete examples of other people delivering design work that haven’t met BASIC design principles and it’s gotten approved) compared to me where I frequently get feedback that somehow makes my work worse but I just comply because it’s not (1/2)

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.
