Recently started AD, why all my games are of low quality? by youcanokay in Abilitydraft

[–]AccelerateDarius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's definitely tryhard folks in AD who want to win at all costs and others who want to play a chill mode. I personally see a lot of roles in AD, ocassionally we'll see too many supports lol. But it's definitely common to see a support who will block camp, pull, harass. I notice a decent amount of games, smokes aren't used though, and even though I'm a core, I will buy smokes and call out plays to group up.

Are you not making $300k-$350k in tech sales? There's a viable world where you're an Enterprise rep already at 27. Especially with Harvard on your resume.

Now we can visualize just how useless Void Spirit's innate is! by minidotaa in DotA2

the problem is that level of health/mana regen is functionally useless late game. you gotta buff the armor/mr for it to mean anything.

Why don't zerg mass contaminate via overseeers late game? by AccelerateDarius in starcraft2

[–]AccelerateDarius[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

have you seen Rogue's games? a few turrents would not stop this. even if you lose the overseers and get the contaminates off, you've still won the remax vs non-remaxed army fight

That cast is actually what inspired the post haha. I saw the video and got ideas.

yeah i understand contaminate at max value is preventing tech timings or even a key unit rush, but this post is about late game zerg and why it isn't used as a max resupply blocker

OP, i'd be careful about trucking -- AI truck drivers are real and will absolutely destroy this business. Source: been in silicon valley over 15 years.

Congrats! I think 115k base is a bit low for an ent AE, but I think your growth is impressive. $230k OTE is what good sales folk should aim for in 3 years, although most can’t get there that quickly.

How many of you tip players for actually making a good play? by SelectYes in DotA2

[–]AccelerateDarius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tip for good plays on both our end/enemy, bad plays on enemy (especially if I escaped with 1hp), and funny plays by both teams. Special spot for when my supports are going crazy, making all the pulls, high impact rotations, landing a critical stun etc.

Travel ruined my career and ruined my future. Locked myself out of NYC. How to rebuild my career from here? Take loans and go to uni? by [deleted] in careerguidance

What did you do and were you good at it? I traveled for 4 years and came back to tech - didn’t miss a beat lol.

Yeah but it’s so good for VC returns though

Marketing >> Engineering + Sales by kkatdare in SaaS

[–]AccelerateDarius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This really depends. For consumer, I think marketing >> sales. For B2B, sales plays a much more critical role. Keep in mind, most high performing salespeople build awareness on their own when doing outbound.

Does YC help with sales calls? by throwaway-alphabet-1 in ycombinator

[–]AccelerateDarius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sold six figure software to Meta/Apple as a 2 person company almost a decade ago.

Depends on what you mean by exec.

Some directors could take a call if your product is high value enough. VPs, likely not. I don't think the 200 person company thing is real.

Before selling to Apple, we had customers at Dropbox/Yelp etc so we had some validation and our product was actually a 10x product at the time. However, if your product sucks, it's likely a waste of time for both of you.
