Overheard two senior sales reps mocking a new SE for being nervous during a client call. Took me back to my early days. Is there a good way to intervene and offer support without it seeming condescending?

Anyone think the long hours in advertising are a turn off? Still young enough to leave the industry and make a change. Anyone see anyone do that before because of balance?

Hey can anyone guide me for Technical Round 2 of BDO Rise, it's 15 minute video meet, atleast if you can tell me what should I expect from it, it will be a relief.

Hey Guys,

need some help.

my DOJ & Notice period is conflicting by 5 days. None of the party agreeing to adjust.

New Employer (Oracle) mentioned that his budget will expire by May 31 so cloudn't shift the DOJ.

What should I do now ?

Which one should I go for?

1. Oracle - 18.3 LPA fixed + probable bonus (I may or may not get)
2. Amadeus - 18 fixed + 1.5 variable.

Amadeus is also giving joining bonus of 75k. Amadeus is paying more, may give better hikes too, but I am finding it hard to let go off Oracle's brand name on my resume even if it's means around 2L less over an year. I am planning to work for atleast 3 years in my next company.

What would you have done in my place? Should I go for Oracle or Amadeus?

EY and KPMG .. Federal practice at both.. what are working hours (45 ?).. which has better work culture and work life balance

Why did you become a Sales Engineer?

I’ll start: Happenstance.

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?

Hey folks, I’m about a year into my new SE career and looking to continue to invest in professional skills.

I’ve been looking at some beginner coding boot camps and scrum product owner certs, but interested in what you all have done to further advance your career

Recruiter for big tech company reached out on LinkedIn about a role. I asked about ballpark compensation numbers and they said they’re only comfortable sharing on a live call. Replied that I often receive LinkedIn offers for roles of paycuts around 30-50% so I want to make sure we’re in the same rough range. Recruiter again said she would only share via live call. Is this a red flag?
