Interview went well till I started asking questions about WFH and a bit more about the work I'd be doing and expectations. It Made me understand why the money was so good. I got moved on to the next round but this is looking like a No. But I think it's clear that I need to be looking at making a move. My company is down bad right now. Am I at the beginning of the resurgence or going down with the ship? I'm not sure right now but think our leadership needs an overhaul.

It took a lot out of me but I closed $452k this month as of today, hoping I win some more but for June revenue

We have to figure out what my adjusted target will be since I’ll be out for Q4 but I have hit my lower end of my level’s target for the year! :blessed:Come on promo Q1:lupe:

Sales is so much pressure in a down environment, “luckily” we are down across the entire business but they really don’t sound eager to hire the staff we need for my main account-not sure what the pay is but I’m hovering just under 100 so I’m sure 2 levels above isn’t a chance they’re willing to take yet. We lost two VPs last year though-they said we have to achieve double digit growth before they even think about hiring, so yeah that’s a no :francis:

Lmao exactly, they appear to be handing out promotions like crazy though across my business unit-I count at least 10, but also last year was a record year so I know we’d be lucky to repeat those numbers.

They also moved someone off my team and with how I exclusively handle some accounts and am not supposed to (and have maternity leave coming up in September), we have very little capacity to do business outreach/expanding efforts. My big boss understands but larger leadership seems to be dragging its feet on revising our numbers- my Main account keeps telling us they go with other vendors because of our costs, which is def beyond my control.

Same as always, healthcare and to a lesser extent financial services. Tech is in a comparative free fall between layoffs and not having a clear path of innovation on the horizon, a lot of our clients are re-orging and they’re going for large-scale soul searching into what their brands mean to consumers and businesses, but no distinct products as of yet.

More layoffs coming for Meta. Must be hell working there.

It's a race to the bottom. My company is trying to push people out without explicit layoffs, but they'll follow suit before too long. I think these companies are going to overcorrect and put themselves back into a candidates market though.
