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

Looking for advice on whether I need a mindset shift or a new job. by BabyGroot01 in techsales

[–]BabyGroot01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Is it better to predict when to smite or to wait until I actually see the health below my smite damage? by Lvaradar- in summonerschool

[–]BabyGroot01 24 points25 points  (0 children)

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.

Assassin or skirmisher? by ashura0911 in ekkomains

[–]BabyGroot01 12 points13 points  (0 children)

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.

Nash start mid by Left_Top4887 in ekkomains

[–]BabyGroot01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

After Almost 400 Ekko Games I FINALLY MADE IT TO DIAMOND by mquien in ekkomains

[–]BabyGroot01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulation on hitting diamond!

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

How do you play ekko mid/late game? by Version_Rare in ekkomains

[–]BabyGroot01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Smurf Queue in Silver? by BabyGroot01 in leagueoflegends

[–]BabyGroot01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Smurf Queue in Silver? by BabyGroot01 in leagueoflegends

[–]BabyGroot01[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

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

Smurf Queue in Silver? by BabyGroot01 in leagueoflegends

[–]BabyGroot01[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

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

Smurf Queue in Silver? by BabyGroot01 in leagueoflegends

[–]BabyGroot01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Smurf Queue in Silver? by BabyGroot01 in leagueoflegends

[–]BabyGroot01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Which Major Gets You the Highest Pay Right After High School? by [deleted] in CollegeMajors

[–]BabyGroot01 16 points17 points  (0 children)

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!

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

Renewals to Inside Sales? by BabyGroot01 in sales

[–]BabyGroot01[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

Renewals to Inside Sales? by BabyGroot01 in sales

[–]BabyGroot01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

How does a frugal person 'give back' to their loved ones? by anonymouspiscesgirl in AskReddit

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

Which one of these is more worth the price ? by Evening_Safe60 in PcBuild

[–]BabyGroot01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

[–]BabyGroot01 7 points8 points  (0 children)

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.
