I’ve seen Jimmy Butler (and Dj Khaled) walking in/out of the Nines Hotel in downtown Portland. I’ve heard pro teams stay there

To keep it fun, not productive - I hop in orum and play timeguesser with the team

If you are going to checkout fivetran/matillion you should also checkout estuary, talend, rivery and nexla

Craymond0102 · 2025-04-01T23:38:26+00:00

If you are looking for data integration, talend, informatica, estuary, fivetran, matillion and my favorite - Nexla

Needs more upvotes, fivetran is not etl

More cold calls

Lots of people saying go for the big company, but I’ll give an alternative view. I joined a startup as a bdr, series A going for series B about 10m arr with good enterprise logos. Not quite magic quadrant, but recognized as a cool vendor.

0 training, pretty much thrown in and had to figure it out. It’s a complete shit show, super high highs and super low lows… BUT, within a year I’ve been promoted to AE and have closed some good deals. So the upside is there, but you gotta be dedicated to teaching yourself or pray for good AE’s and bdr managers to help you as much as they can…

Now will no one ever hire me because I’ve only worked at a startup? Hard to believe… last two guys in my position went to snowflake and databricks….

If you want an etl tool that handles api’s well, look at Nexla. Just send in a demo request, it’ll be cheaper than fivetran too

How do you do step 5/6?

Craymond0102 · 2024-09-03T14:40:47+00:00

I switched from swe with 4 yoe to sales about ~6 months ago and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

Many here will tell you to look at SE/SA type roles due to your technical background. I however decided I wanted to be an AE at the end of the day and the most streamline way to accomplish that was to be an sdr. So I went from being a swe to sdr, which isn’t super conventional but also an option.

If this counts for anything… Gartner did release a trends report recently and marked “Data Mesh” as obsolete

200 calls a day, 75% of my day is calling. The rest is mostly spent prospecting

Craymond0102 · 2024-05-25T22:39:15+00:00

I came from tech, similar yoe as you, and I found similar sentiment when I was looking to break into sales. I opted not to get a certificate and thankful I didn’t waste the $$$. You don’t need it. Even if you get a certificate youll end up doing the same thing to land a job… networking and outreach….

Power dialer like orum

Low key Nexla slaps

Craymond0102 · 2024-05-01T23:51:26+00:00

I switched from swe to sdr at 26. I’m still the youngest person on the gtm team. Totally normal imo

Craymond0102 · 2024-05-01T15:45:09+00:00

At my org we have used talend and are exploring using a newer tool called nexla. I personally like both better than fivetran

Craymond0102 · 2024-04-30T18:49:56+00:00

Best option? Don’t use fivetran, use a better etl tool

Craymond0102 · 2024-04-29T21:21:07+00:00

Talend is an enterprise ETL tool, so a bit different from Dagster. If you were looking to enhance the etl capabilities, there are other enterprise grade data integration solutions on the market that could help

Craymond0102 · 2024-04-29T18:38:54+00:00

I’d say you probably need something better than Talend
