I’ve been a club performing rep for years at a SaaS company…but as an enterprise account exec… my average deal size is around $75k in annual recurring, quota of $1M.

Do you guys feel like Biden is actually the cause of the unemployment rate being down? In 18 states where the rate is down significantly, 15 of them are run by republicans... just saying. Everyone's praising him for bringing the economy back but I'm still unemployed...and the cost of living is more pricey than ever.

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
