Meeting with my Director today for a 1:1. I just started a new role in industry this week. What are some questions I should ask or bring up? I want to ask “smart” questions but also keep it pretty informal.

You just started last week... shoot the shit for 30min and get to know him/her. Maybe ask 1-2 of the most salient questions on your mind (eg key docs/info to ramp up quickly). Wouldn’t go out of my way to impress

Looking to get into SaaS sales but my experience is in construction and fine furniture (I was a sales manager and was able to lead my team of 4 people to consistently hit 450k monthly targets).

I have also considered a sales analyst role considering that I am moderately versed in Salesforce and have worked both the customer facing and sales generating side. TIA!
