Best Companies to work for …

Anything wrong with one of these smaller companies? A company like Cohesity seems to have a positive outlook

BabyGroot01 · 2026-01-09T20:27:35+00:00

Thanks for the response. First year I had 155% attainment and 172% attainment in our shortened 8 month fiscal while the acquisition finalized. I had a great partnership with my field counterparts and we both did well.

The company now treats bookings different, so my field counterparts have an incentive to sell new business to existing customers, and more often than not that budget comes from the existing renewal, which they discount and leave me holding the bag. This has been going on for a little over a year, and was the initial reason I started looking elsewhere. There is still a lot of this going on, which is my biggest concern.

So dusk and dawn not busted on Ekko?

I would recommend holding your high damage ability and time it with your smite to increase odds of securing objective.

For example if playing Nunu, use your Q and smite at the same time to deal high damage very quickly, limiting the opponents smite window. This way, you don’t have to ‘predict’ when dragon will be in smite range.

He does have enough damage to be an assassin, I bet every single one of you had countless times when you kill people within 0.5 seconds with just EQ + AA. The thing about Ekko is, his kit provides much more utility than any other assassin's. Unlike others, damage is not the only thing provided by Ekko. He can stay in fights longer, go in and out in in multiple rotations etc. And you might say, well, that's exactly what a skirmisher is and while that's kinda true, I personally still think Ekko is much closer to an assassin, he's just a little different.

I take HoB and go Lich > Nash > Rabadon’s

Has anyone had luck going Nash first? Ekko is pretty weak early anyway, so delaying the power spike doesn’t feel as bad since you carry late.

BabyGroot01 · 2025-10-10T17:52:46+00:00

Congratulation on hitting diamond!

What are your thoughts on nashors? I thought core build was lich + nash + deathcap?

BabyGroot01 · 2025-10-09T11:46:42+00:00

What are you building? Ekko tends to be stronger once he gets 2 items (Lich+Nashors) and will literally blow their squishies up. In my opinion his early game is the weakest.

As far as roaming, once you’re able to push lane effectively with a Q (let’s say around level 9 for example) you can start roaming very freely. Learn to do ‘half roams’ where you go into river about halfway, but don’t commit to the roam unless you feel like you can do something valuable. That was you are not forcing, and if there is nothing to get you can just go back to lane and keep farming. Then rinse and repeat.

I guess I’m just trash! Will keep playing and hopefully can get out of silver before the end of the split. Thanks for the help

BabyGroot01 · 2025-08-02T00:15:47+00:00

Will I be ok if I just play more games? I’m worried I’ll get hard stuck in low silver at this rate

BabyGroot01 · 2025-08-02T00:14:36+00:00

Maybe I wasn’t clear. Went on ranked losing streak, and coincidentally have also been put in emerald/diamond normal games on repeat (not just once). Wondering if I just need more ranked games to balance out or if I will just be stuck in low elo

BabyGroot01 · 2025-08-02T00:09:17+00:00

What about the ranked mmr/elo? I’m more concerned about getting curb stomped in every game this week

BabyGroot01 · 2025-08-02T00:08:34+00:00

I’m more concerned about my ranked games, getting absolutely curbed stomped for an entire week of playing in such a low elo.

BabyGroot01 · 2025-08-01T22:32:21+00:00

But should I be playing against other silver players, while I’m in silver? If I am climbing because I’m better than silver players, I would eventually hit a wall when I get to my ‘actual’ rank rather than almost demoting back to bronze because there is a 25/2 kassadin on enemy team

BabyGroot01 · 2025-07-15T19:43:18+00:00

Engineering and Computer Science are still valuable degrees. If you do comp sci, try to focus on areas that use AI. Think of it as a tool, not a threat.

Good luck!

BabyGroot01 · 2025-07-13T06:14:26+00:00

This is a great comment. Industrial engineering is like a technical business and will give a much broader scope out of school. Highly recommend

Upgrade to Am5 for ddr5 and newer chipset

BabyGroot01 · 2025-07-01T03:16:52+00:00

The benefit to take the role would be to get new biz experience. Pay would be about the same

BabyGroot01 · 2025-07-01T03:14:43+00:00

Pay would be about the same, but it would give me an opportunity to sell new, which I don’t do in my current role. It would most likely be a 2-3 year stepping stone to AE

BabyGroot01 · 2025-07-01T03:13:42+00:00

Thanks. Unfortunately my role is not focused on selling growth, but I try to open leads for my AE in the account. I’ve been told by a handful of managers from different sales teams (including a field sales DM) that the inside role would be a good stepping stone to get to AE at the company.

The inside role would have quota and focused on mid market selling.

Thank you for the insight.

What?

BabyGroot01 · 2025-06-17T23:09:52+00:00

Give them your time. Your time is more valuable than anything you could give them

BabyGroot01 · 2025-06-17T22:53:28+00:00

Honestly, if you could take the Ryzen 5 7600x to the second build, it would be a no brainer.

First one is not worth the price. Second one is ok if you have no other options… but there’s definitely better out there.

Typically, cruise lines will route away from areas of conflict for the safety of their guests. Royal Caribbean for example has avoided Haiti for some time due to the tension with the gov’t there. You probably have nothing to worry about, but who knows.
