Our company is moving to unlimited PTO starting next year. What’s the average time off you’ve taken per calendar year?

Curious, how many of you give your teams holiday gifts?

S&P Global india Holiday calendar pls....

How do your firms do payroll? This is like the 5th time in 26 months that paychecks weren’t timely deposited. Allegedly, the boss did everything right and this is something in the payroll company. But his stuff is getting crazy and everyone is out on PTO, I’m kinda like: meet minimum ethical obligations and no more. Once or twice, I understand. But this is becoming regular.

Senior PM at Havas in New York— could I ask for 125k and what could I negotiate for more PTO?

Might be a long shot, but wanted to see if this bowl could share any wisdom/insight. A friend has been offered a role as an independent contractor commercial counsel for a pre IPO tech company in NYC (roughly 10-20 hrs/wk) with the possibility of becoming a full time offer. He has roughly 3 yoe and was at a V10 firm doing tech transactions work but took time off for health. Would appreciate any insights into what a reasonable hourly wage would be to offer up in negotiations. Thanks in advance!

Did any of you have a combined holiday party with the CSPs?

Been at EY for more than 5 years and want to stay. But suffering from lack of motivation. Need a long break aside from normal 1-2 week vacation. How hard is it to get approval for 1-2 months leave?

A few months ago I asked the question about using travel smart routers to host a VPN to disguise your location. The purpose of this is to have a working vacation in a foreign country, without telling work about it. My work computer has restricted access so I cannot install a VPN service on the computer without help from IT. My work around is a smart router that can directly host a VPN. Now I am in Cabo with a VPN to the US. I’ve included some details in a comment below. AMA

I just got an SC offer from EY for $100k, no signing bonus. Does that seem reasonable? Do they negotiate vacation days/signing bonus?

I am an associate and started at my firm about 5 months ago. What do you suggest for holiday gifts and who do you buy for?

hi all, hope all is well

i left deloitte risk advisory due to personal reasons in sep 2021 (time off since july 2021) as the work got a bit much and my situation at home was complex.

i applied for a snr consultant role in consulting (strategy & ops, indus. redesign & innov.) and saw my app. got shortlisted. this role looks more suited for me and im super interested in it, more so than my prev. exp at D but you never know haha. whats the process like/how likely will i progress?

I ran into my ex a couple days ago and it’s just all screwed with my head. We are kinda talking and he invited me to his company holiday party to be his +1.

And then he’s been ignoring me.

Do we observe a holiday on 1st November?

Here we go! Traveling on vacation for the next week and didn’t bring my Adderall (which I’ve been abusing for the past year). Hoping to wean myself off of it during the vacation. Wish me luck

Has anyone ever been to the delta hotel by Marriott nayarit? My SO wants to go to an all inclusive so there's less vacation stress with planning meals and such. Looking to find a place that's close to beach and also nature.

If anyone's been or has great reviews for other marriot all-inclusive hotels I'd love to hear your reviews. TIA!

Anyone with some guidance on second home/vacation vs investment mortgage? The former seems preferable, and we’d be using it enough personally to fall in the IRS bounds for personal use. We’d plan to use a property manger for convenience of STR, and heard different things about “maintaining exclusive control”. Any advice?

I have an offer for a newly created collections strategy project manager at a mid sized credit union for $95k, 7-9% bonus, and 3 weeks PTO.

I did ask to go up to $100k, but was told my offer was already above the target range.

I like the company and my colleagues to be.

Good offer?

Hey guys! I’ve been approached to join BCG as a senior associate. I’ve been told MBA sponsorship requires either 12-18 months of tenure at BCG. Before I commit to studying for cases, I would appreciate insight into the following:
1) Is it possible to negotiate that down? I want to attend in 2022
2) Are externships open to SA level? Is it possible to negotiate this?
3) How many years post-MBA are you locked into BCG with sponsorship? Do you commit to a single office?

Hello!

People working in Amazon AWS (especially sales development or lead development rep):
- how’s the culture like in AWS?
- is it a stressful environment?
- what is the pay range from this role?
- how does career path looks like?

I’ve heard mixed reviews from people around me and want to hear from the community how you all feel? Is it worth pursuing a role in FAANG or just go for unicorns and get career growth from there? (I just had my first round of interview with AWS today)

Looking to break into tech sales. How can i do so? Would appreciate for your guidance. Thanks

Currently an Account manger at Dell and looking to transition into Account Executive role at another Saas company.

I am looking to get into technical/engineering sales. Does anyone have any recommendations of where to start or places to look at? LinkedIn and other job postings sites are overwhelming and I’ve always wanted to get into sales. My background is industrial engineering with a minor in business and my current role is a mechanical engineer in manufacturing with about 6 years of experience. I want to work for a company or sell something that I am passionate about or have an interest in. Thank you!

Customer success manager/ CSM

HEY FAM! Anyone know of any companies hiring customer success managers? (USA only) I have 5 YOE and looking to connect with good people in the space. Haven’t seen CSM on here so I wanted to drop in.

Hi all, I am a Enterprise BDR currently at my company and looking for referrals to tech companies such as Slack, Salesforce, Outreach, etc. for AE Roles.
I am the top performer on my team across EMEA, APAC & US, always at 100-300% of target.
I am based in the UK myself. Happy to connect/hop on a call with anyone!

Anyone else commission only? My company has some teams commission only but everyone I’ve ever spoken to nowadays has some base salary.

Something that severely gets into my nerves :

I advise clients on tech and sometimes help them debug stuff. This client told me they tested the solutions I gave and that it didn’t work, and requested a meeting to sort it off. We schedule a meeting. I just inspected their account and they haven’t tested shit, I can see the same code mistakes, they never tried to change anything.

I’m pissed. They’re basically wasting my time and I don’t even see the point in meeting with them.

Advice?

What are some good Qualifying Questions to find out the following:
Buying window, Budgetary window, Contract window.

I have 2 offers and unsure which to take.
1. Mid-Market SDR that has 90+ SDRs 52k base 73k OTE.
2. Enterprise BDR less than 10 BDRs in US (Germany Based just breaking into US) 55k Base 75OTE.
What are your thoughts? Please help here haha

I'm an SDR and have found it challenging to find alignment with my AE's. We don't really strategize on accounts - something I've been working hard to improve. I'm curious to know what has helped for other SDR's and AE's. I'm always also open to getting feedback even when it's uncomfortable. I just need the support.

I have a final stage interview for AE upcoming with a sales presentation portion.
Anyone willing to share a past presentation either from an interview or otherwise for inspiring/insight?
