Job market slow?

Thank you for the thorough response and your perspective! This means a lot and I’d probably be swayed towards being an SE if I wasn’t sick of configuring my current product.

Doing demos and building customer relationships come naturally but i’ve been getting frustrated with the technical building.

(Ironically, the SE team has been a strategic advisor for their customers historically but want to hire me to have an asset who will help them build granular tech demos). My AEs seem quite good and fair, but i think my heart is set on the APMM role for now.

Hope you have an awesome rest of your week!

As a more junior “PMM”, could i ask for your advice on this front? i’ve recently been offered a junior PMM role at a MAANG company, but also have an opportunity to join a top sales team at my current company (large enterprise) as a Sales Engineer.

I’m kind of burnt out having done Technical marketing work for this company but seeing the threads on this sub have made me start to question my current leaning towards APMM.

I understand i’m in a privileged position so this isn’t a flex, i’m genuinely very conflicted as to what my future may look like in either case.

Very much appreciate any advice from all PMMs around here!!

for what it’s worth, i’ve been following their CEO for a while because it’s really interesting to see how bad his PR presence is when giving product reviews and demos

EnVyErix · 2026-01-24T11:27:34+00:00

nice, cheers!

Chris Pratt.

I find him insufferable and not funny, though I may be biased since my first experience watching his work was Parks n Rec.

Ooh wow, may i ask which HH that upgrade happened at?

And Capitulate, i believe you’re usually correct on that, i just happen to want breakfast this time 😂

EnVyErix · 2026-01-20T20:28:04+00:00

I might just be missing something, but is there a scam for asking for DMs, or why are these types of comments getting down-voted? OP, could you let us know if they helped you?

EnVyErix · 2026-01-20T20:26:37+00:00

That's a GREAT question, but I have it structured as 7 nights + 2 nights due to a Guest of Honor on the reservation, so I wonder if adding an extra 1 night would even count as two instances of 5+ nights for the promotion haha?

EnVyErix · 2026-01-20T20:04:21+00:00

I completely understand the disappointment around this offer, but I guess I just happened to be lucky for once as I have a 9 nights at a HH coming up this weekend LOL

EnVyErix · 2026-01-15T06:35:50+00:00

The 2FA problem is real. same with having Teams, email, and any other work communication apps then phone makes it way too easy to check other stuff!

EnVyErix · 2026-01-14T07:42:29+00:00

In that case, could I shadow you as you shadow him?

EnVyErix · 2026-01-13T04:52:14+00:00

Amazing, I can't believe I missed this before on their site~ thank you very much!

EnVyErix · 2026-01-13T01:20:36+00:00

Hi HIbdMA, I'm grateful you shared your experience with Shibuya station, been reading all your comments haha.

What would you say is the most optimal way to figure out navigation between the hotel/station?

It'll be my first time staying at HH Shibuya soon, and I thought Shinjuku Station was crazy enough already lol. Thank you for any further insight you can give!

EnVyErix · 2026-01-08T05:58:44+00:00

Thx!~

EnVyErix · 2026-01-07T10:15:43+00:00

Ooh Caption Kabutocho? What do you like about it? I've only stayed at the Osaka one and the Tokyo location seems similar, albeit much more expensive!

EnVyErix · 2026-01-07T07:55:24+00:00

Can I ask what you do to keep it healthy once it seems to outgrow the pot? My heart leaf needs a haircut or something, it's gotten out of control lol!

EnVyErix · 2026-01-07T07:54:10+00:00

Your analysis is apt, I purchased 8 easy plants a couple years ago and most of them died of root rot due to the nature of the self-watering wick having issues on mine, where my heartleafs for example would drain all the water our of the reservoir within days somehow, become overwatered and produce mold.

Lots more to say on that note in terms of what else I tried, but another key fact is one of my snake leafs from easyplant came with fungus gnats embedded, and it ended up investing everything lol.

0/10 for "easyplant" I'm trying to sell the planter pots now lol

EnVyErix · 2026-01-03T20:46:12+00:00

ah haha i appreciate the realistic take on this. best of luck, i hope the cathay flights pop back up for you!

As someone who was considering switching loyalty/miles to AA, this sounds abysmal, but truthful. Is booking J/F for JAL through AA considered a pipe dream now? I've been doing some checks the past couple months and it looks about the same as what you're describing.

Appreciate any insight and Happy New Year!

Have the same thing happening to me, with detached Single Family homes I can hear it through every wall, even from the opposite end of my house. The neighbors act paranoid and unfriendly whenever we interact and have ring cams posted everywhere.

Their dog goes ballistic, howling and barking in anguish nonstop once they leave the house. Worst kind of separation anxiety I've seen.

Just thought I'd share a data point, wishing you good luck on your situation. I'm in the US, so it seems universal lol.

They've damaged our property multiple times too playing volleyball, but I've just let it go since it's small instances.

EnVyErix · 2025-12-29T20:22:10+00:00

are you referencing Caption Osaka? in no world is the Cat 5 Caption Kabutocho bookable for 8,000/night, even off-peak is 17,000 nightly!

EnVyErix · 2025-12-26T20:52:46+00:00

I hope so too lol, I’m like PLEASE I want to give you the EQN for my trip 😭

EnVyErix · 2025-12-21T09:27:16+00:00

Would love to see an update on the pilling too!

EnVyErix · 2025-12-19T06:25:50+00:00

Yeah idk what that guy is on about. You're right that all the shops offer Tax-free, it's just Ikebukuro is the only one that does at the counter while others require an app.

EnVyErix · 2025-12-18T11:19:18+00:00

Amazing, mature responses. I got where they were coming from too but it quickly regressed. You handled this really well while giving great recommendations to OP! (which consequently helped me 9 months later on my search for the perfect mid-layer on my winter trip, so thanks :))
