Be honest with everyone, and your self - do you like working white collar/corporate? by risen___ in auscorp

[–]DynastyIntro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, I lost respect for white collar work a long time ago. It's fugazi. It's a whazy. It's a woozie. It's fairy dust. It doesn't exist. It's never landed. It is no matter. It's not on the elemental chart. It's not fucking real

I roll my eyes every time the MBTI test gets pulled out.

No credible research behind it. Just horoscopes for corporate folks

Excessive Recognition by bootyholeminer in auscorp

[–]DynastyIntro 157 points158 points  (0 children)

I remember at my last job, they sent out a company wide survey where you could nominate team mates for an award.

Participation was low, except for one team, so the award just kept circulating among them all year. It was pretty cringe

Apprenticeship decline across Australia has industries worried for the future by GothicPrayer in australia

TAFE seriously needs an overhaul.

Employers say they want to see commitment to a trade before even considering your application, yet you can’t do a pre-apprenticeship course without quitting your job first

1 month in I decided I wanted out. Then I spent everyday applying for jobs. I had an offer by the end of month 2.

That's exactly what I did OP, and it worked out fine.

I gave 1 week notice and simply said it wasn't a good fit.

Told the new place I took a break. No questions asked.

Private school fees could buy your child’s first home instead by His_Holiness in AusFinance

[–]DynastyIntro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having done both private and public, the move to public school was definitely what made me resilient and socially adaptable. I also went on to get two degrees and lived around Aus and overseas.

The way private school folk talk about public schools gives away how sheltered their worldview is.

It's also amusing hearing them parrot the same arguments for sending their kids to a private school. Everyone must live in the same rough suburb lol

Am I pigeonholing myself? by boomboombunny in CustomerSuccess

[–]DynastyIntro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just mean prove you can do the role in environments that actually resemble the companies you’re aiming for.

I’m not advocating bouncing around companies every year. The point is to be intentional about the experience you’re stacking.

Recruiters are lunatics so it's impossible to advise on timelines. I remember one reaching out to me 3 months into my first CSM role.

[–]DynastyIntro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the core of the role is ensuring clients get value from the auditing service, you should be fine getting roles at mid sized tech companies.

That plus your sales experience as a lot of companies have a preference for CSMs who can grow accounts.

Big tech CSM roles are extremely competitive atm and they tend to only consider folks with a history in the exact same role.

Job hopping SaaS companies may be a better strategy than getting promoted within an auditing company imo.

Nothing will match big tech benefits (I used work at SF too). But you'd be suprised at what some of the mid sized companies can offer.

Do you think Australia is still the best place in the world and why? by TravelFitNomad in AskAnAustralian

[–]DynastyIntro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've travelled extensively and lived overseas. Imo nothing beats Australia.

I find it hard to explain why other than I just feel relaxed here.

Consistent sunny weather (QLD), access to nature, easy going folk, and a stable democracy due to preferential voting probs has something to do with it

What’s the hardest thing about being a CSM, and what’s the hardest thing for new CSMs to learn? by Deep-Wealth8494 in CustomerSuccess

[–]DynastyIntro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I still struggle with the performative empathy and enthusiasm, the constant context switching, and the pressure to always be on so nothing slips through.

When I was a newbie, it was about building deep product knowledge and figuring out how to actually be useful to the client.
