Easy. Always be closing.

Well, do you like sales? I personally would despise that role but I’m sure it would be a great learning experience

Sales in general (including tech): Tons of pressure, terrible wlb, your consulting skills and background will be largely wasted, low prestige, potential to make very little money and get fired within 3-6 months if you can't perform to what might be impossible expectations. But yes, you can make a lot of money if you perform well, learn it, and put in the time.

Unless you have selling experience you’re going to start pretty low down on the ladder. But eventually you can make absolute bank for a reasonable amount of hours worked. Plus companies like SF and G are wonderful

Was recently looking at sales engineering roles at Google Cloud. Basically pre-sales tech consulting. You can make decent money for sure. Amazon has similar roles as well (they call them solution architects). Both require tech background and cloud experience

How unreliable has glassdoor become for salaries? Or reliable? I see some TC on here that's insanely higher than glassdoor. Is it just due to recent hot hiring, are people inflating their own egos, or is glassdoor just not that reliable anymore.

I checked my own position and I'm on the higher end of the spectrum for my position at my company which makes sense with my YoE and exposure in the company, but still within the expected comp of the role.

I’m struggling. I left an agency I liked last year due to growth limitations and since then I’ve worked at 2 different agencies and can’t seem to find my footing. The first one seemed like a good fit at first but then it turned out to not be the best place for me so I left. At my current agency I feel super undervalued. I’m always raising my hand and offering to help where I can and no matter what I do, I don’t feel utilized or valued or part of the team.It’s really taken a toll on my confidence

Left consulting to industry ~4 months ago. It was a tough adjustment in the beginning but I’m in a spot where I finally feel more comfortable. The hours are better than consulting (but not as good as my fed consulting experience) and people are helpful and super smart.

I loved that team/client, and the hours were amazing (had 9/80 schedule too). But..continued below.
