I've been to both and I'd say go to Colombia. Panama City is a lot of fun and has great night life but Panama is a metropolis with all walks of life so I didn't get a great sense of Panamanian culture when I went. Colombia on the other hand has awesome nightlife as well as an amazing culture that was very welcoming. We did a quick 5 day trip, flew from DC to Cartagena and spent Wednesday-Friday in Cartagena and then hoped on a 45 minute flight to Medellin and stayed there till Tuesday and then spent two days on the beach in Cartagena. If you go to Medellin make sure to get out of the El Pablado area at least once, it's a nice place to stay because it's safe but it's also very upscale and boogie so to truly get into the Paisa culture you need to go and hang in some other barrios.

Hey friends! I hope everybody has had a productive week and had an awesome weekend for those who enjoyed their holiday! This question is specifically for Amazon Web Services in sales.

So I am currently a potential candidate as an AAE. I was told that I would in the future have to prepare a mock deck and deal with objections.

Has anybody had to prepare them and what was the scenario?

Thanks everyone!

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
