To the handsome BCG’er who interviewed me: When I joined that WebEx meeting and saw you, you took my breath away. I should’ve plucked my eyebrows. Sadly we’ll never meet, as I accepted another offer.

Lolol in all seriousness though what did you take instead? Also I heard BCG wasn’t doing any EH interviews right now?

Wait, there’s a singles bowl? 👀 But to answer your question, I chose a fintech company.

Anyone here currently work or have worked for @Gartner as an AE in Large Enterprise? I’ve had a couple of opportunities to interview over the past several years but have passed both times. Pay appears to be pretty solid from what I’ve been told and I’d eventually like to work a smaller book size and sell services instead of SaaS, as these are usually always in demand regardless of economic conditions.

I wonder, why everyone is not applying for FAANG and they’re happy with startups or other companies? (Not talking about who are not able to clear the interviews )

Any Slack SEs here? I’m in conversation with a Slack recruiter for an SE role. Curious how competitive the market is with Microsoft basically offering MS Teams for free and the pandemic starting to wind down. I see most cool startups have Slack and bigger enterprises have been getting swooped up by MS Teams because of cheaper pricing and not needing to buy Zoom. I personally like Slack more but how are current market conditions and how are y’all feeling? Slack Salesforce
