Random morning thought. Anyone else seen the commercial where kids get renamed so at their graduation they read the name of a corporate sponsor instead of their kid's real name? I know its satire but sometimes I really feel like thats where we are going. Seems like everybody just wants more money and not enough people are doing things because they like doing it. I think thats why we see things like teacher shortages. Has anyone else noticed this trend?

Even with my own kids they are looking on how to be the next big thing. When we are just the average joe blow in this great country. I have seen it and I think it feeds in to that fantasy.

Yes absolutely. And social media makes us think we can all be world beaters but the truth is most of us are ordinary. Very strange times we live in!

Hi all, I have about 7 years of professional experience but only one year as a Customer Success Manager. I work on mid market accounts currently. I love my job, but would prefer to support a more robust platform that will allow me to add more value for my customers.

I’d appreciate your thoughts on what compensation you might expect for a CSM transitioning to a new company with one year of experience.

To clarify, I don’t have an offer yet, I’m just looking to make a move.

Thank you!
