What other careers do you catch yourself daydreaming about? I, for one, would have loved acting as I loved theater throughout my life but alas fate had other plans. What's yours?

Interior Design. I love antique furniture, hunting for specific pieces, curating a vibe and color palette in a room. Making a home a place you want to entertain and nest in more than going out elsewhere to find enjoyment.

like

Well I’ve always been into antiques and vintage. I think it’s cause my parents dragged me to flea markets and shows at a young age. It clearly stuck. Today whenever I can upgrade a piece or retire it for something better I find a way to do so. Only problem is I’ve got no more space! Anyone wanna hire me to spend your money to make your pad dope while giving me the deep rooted pleasure of design that I so desperately need?

I really wanted to be a recording artist and do concerts. I love to perform and at the same time I really love to act and play dramas. But I did not pursue it and I just gave up. I don't think there will be any chance for me to reach that dream career. It's too far-fetched.

I love animals! I find myself constantly thinking about what it could have been like if I just followed my passion, and became a veterinarian.

I forgot to ask the same question back at you! Will you still be chasing theater?

like

in my case, if I wasn't pursuing this career I would probably be a roadie to my favorite band. I don't know I just like the feeling of uncertainty and stability in a sense that we're uncertain where to go next but there is stability because we know wherever we go there will be people attending concerts. I'm not good enough to be in the band, but I would be great at being a roadie ☺️

Yep, that's the one! I find myself rewatching it from time to time. Just for the vibes :)

AWS vs Cloudflare BDR roles

AWS lowballed but I negotiated to match Cloudflare. Cloudflare offers more equity but AWS has a higher base.

I love Cloudflare. The people are great but it’s an engineering culture and the sales team isn’t as well shaped up and I can’t go for a promotion until at least 18 months of tenure. I am an investor in the company and think of them super highly. I’ve already got half a years SDR experience and AWS promotes quicker.

AWS has prestige but is it worth it?

Fellow enterprise tech sales fish, I’m interested to hear your perspective. I’ve been in a rut lately and seriously considering leaving sales. I think it’s primarily fueled by one thing:
After a 6 mo cycle I closed a large deal (4x the average deal size) prior to receiving delayed 2022 comp plans. The deal counts as a 2022 deal. On last years comp plan it would’ve paid out at 10%. This year it pays out at a measly 4%.

How do you/have you navigated your way through and out of these situations?
