Would you rather join a company growing cautiously but steadily, or one scaling fast with visible risk? Security and opportunity rarely sit together. How can I decide which environment suits me right now?

I'll take the upside and the risk. I'm young enough that if things blew up spectacularly, I'd be able to recover without any real damage. I feel like most people in sales are he same way. The earning potential is the entire allure of the job, and you can't maximize that without taking risks here and there.

I respect that mindset. Earlier in my career I probably would have leaned the same way. Risk feels different depending on your stage of life. I think the key question is not just recovery, but whether the stress is worth the upside.

My instinct would be to go with the cautious but steady climber. It might not be as exciting as the fast scaler, but these days I'm more in the mood for stability. It all depends on one's risk tolerance. If you're in a position where you can sustain a few bumps if things get difficult, it might be worth taking the risky option.

This resonates with me more right now. Stability is underrated until you have responsibilities that make volatility expensive. I keep asking myself whether I want adrenaline or predictability this season. It really does come down to personal risk tolerance.

Can I export a list with all emails I sent for the month? I would like to use it to compare to my billed time to make sure I don’t miss anything. Usually I go through my sent inbox but it has so much extra info so it’s not a quick scan. Plus outlook does weird things sometimes like combines conversations so I only see most recent sent item in that convo. Alternatively, do you have a good way confirming you caught all of your email time?

Received an offer for non- tech CCM role and wondering if I should accept. I feel like I was lowballed and downleved despite having 6 YOE (relevant but not in tech). Not sure it will be beneficial to leave my current role for this offer to get my foot in the door.

I’m at the cap for salary at the level/role and can’t negotiate offer any higher.
