Question about remote work and travel. I have traveled overseas while on PTO with my work phone(personal device with lookout for work & ping ID. I have logged on my work apps from this phone and sent emails and did work in multiple countries and sometimes even for days, and no one from my company reached out to me about this. Would this mean I could be in the clear to take my laptop abroad to work? Thinking of doing like 2 weeks somewhere with reliable internet. We are an international company

Just because no one said anything doesn’t mean it’s official allowed. Spend some time digging around on the HR side (the documents from HR that say what you can and can’t do).

My international company does not allow you to work in another country unless you are on an official business trip.

It's possible, or even likely, that you were just flying under the radar and no one happened to notice that you were outside the country. I wouldn't count on that always being the case. It's highly likely it's something that wouldn't be approved. And if you set up somewhere for two weeks and it does get noticed, you'll be in a bad spot. At best you'll seem presumptuous. And if it really does violate security and legal policies, you could be terminated.

Looking to get into SaaS sales but my experience is in construction and fine furniture (I was a sales manager and was able to lead my team of 4 people to consistently hit 450k monthly targets). I did that for almost 2 years before making the switch. I miss sales, though. Does anyone have any connections to companies looking? I have also considered a sales analyst role considering that I am moderately versed in Salesforce and have worked both the customer facing and sales generating side. TIA!

I don't like my job, the responsibilities and tasks aren't right for me or my lifestyle.

Key positives for my current employer are pay and security. But my new role within the company isn't working for me, and ultimately I don't think it is for the company either.

A much much smaller (20 people) company offered me a role.

With the global economic situation as is, is it worth the risk to change to a job I know i'd like more with less pay, and potentially less job security?

T.I.A.
