My company has built a platform with SaaS industry specific sales training courses. I need testers if you’re interested. Could help you learn about the landscape and what interests you. I also send your info to SaaS companies who are hiring when you are done.

I’d love info too!

Get in as a BDR at either a large, mature company (think: Salesforce, SAP, Microsoft, etc) or a younger high-growth company (think: Stripe, ServiceNow, MongoDB, etc).

With the first option: you will really how to sell in a disciplined way, make good money but maybe not great, have access to tons of resources but upward movement will be slower (intense internal competition).

With the second option: You will learn a lot from having to do things quickly and changing course often, earning potential will likely be higher initially and you can progress faster. Downside is development sometimes takes a backseat to a "growth at all costs" mindset.

I’m so scared to let a relationship that gives me anxiety go because I’m 36 F and feel like I’m not going to find anyone else. He’s not a horrible person, but he can be inconsistent. When I bring it up to him he says he’ll try harder but then always goes back to default. I stick around because I think it’s more a personality trait and not that he’s not interested in me (maybe I’m naïve). Could really use some encouragement from a bunch of strangers.
