Reseller job vs vendor? I’ve only worked at resellers but feel like working for the vendors would be more profitable and just more fun. Sometimes as a reseller I feel like I add no value and am just waiting for the vendors to sell their stuff. Any thoughts?

I currently work for a reseller. In our market, the Vendor doesn't provide much in the way of consulting or services, that's where we add real value and have an opportunity to make big money.

Agreed. But that’s a huge challenge in an account where we are not heavily ingrained. They don’t trust us like that yet. Any advice?

“Job hopper” and “quiet quitting” are all schemes made up by boomers to make you think everything is the employees fault. When in reality people are just getting out of bad situations. Older companies do whatever they can to pay you the least amount and get the max work out of you. Except our generation will just leave amid we’re being mistreated, not complain for 35 years making 50k and 0 advancement.

Need job advice:

I recently got an offer at a prestigious company making almost double what I make now (OTE). It is also a promotion on the job title which will help for long term career prospects.

The only downfall is I also have a final round interview with literally my dream job later this week.

The company who gave me the offer wants an answer before Thanksgiving. Do I take the good offer and run with it? Or do I roll the dice at the chance at my dream job?
