My team has been told we need to set “AI‑related goals” and start using internal tools that aren’t all that great. I’m not anti‑AI—I love Copilot for small coding tasks—but a lot of these mandates feel like doing AI for the sake of it. Which tools have legitimately improved your workflow? Have you run into company policies that block access to external models because of IP concerns? How do you push back when management wants metrics that don’t line up with how the work actually gets done?

Be honest… do you know how to build a sales funnel?

No hike like last year ?!

I feel like I was straight up lied to during the interview process. “lots of opportunities to hit quota”. I’m sitting here with only one demo two months after joining the company. it looks like our team has only two people doing demos, and demos are only happening once every two weeks. At this rate, I don’t think I’ll be even close to hitting OTE. Are there any other companies hiring right now? I’ll have a discussion about my concerns with my manager soon, but there’s too many red flags here.

Never been in an SE or consulting or B2B sales role before but have a referral at Salesforce and have been in some informal conversations. I’m starting to freak out a bit now that maybe I can’t do it. I have a tech background so can handle that part, but perhaps strategy may be difficult. Anyone make the transition to an SE role that have some advice?

I recently had an interview with a very promising pre-IPO company in the AI/ML space for a SE leadership position. The interview feedback was better than I expected, but with a twist. They have already given the offer to someone else, but they still want to bring me on board and they asked me what I would like to do. I am in the process of gathering more info, but it is tempting to ask about pivoting into product management. What would you do in this situation?
