Got an offer for a sales applications manager role at Cisco and a Strategic AE role at Amazon - both are basically the same pay (130~ base, 220 OTE)
I don’t have any friends at either company so I was curious if anyone has experience and can shed some light on culture/ work life balance to help me make a decision? Thanks for the help guys!

Don’t say anything more than that, because it will bore her. Ask questions about her cos women love to talk about themselves more than they do hearing about yourself, and then pay for her drink with the money you earned from that job. Best of luck my friend.

If you're looking for someone with an interesting job, I can tell you I don't have that. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me very boring for people like you. If you let our date go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will file a married filing jointly return with you.

I wouldnt go into too much details. Unless your job is a really niche one, your date should have some general idea.

Same way I respond to anyone when they ask what I do. It’s either…”I’m an accountant” or “I work in tax”. If they want more specifics I will dive into it but I just start there.
Honestly I tend to undersell what I do. The type of work I do is super exciting to me and I have really awesome clients but I like to make people think I’m just a stereotypical accountant.
I always just say taxes and pivot away
