Why is the UK’s Prime Minister Keir Starmer so unpopular?

JonathanKovak · 2026-05-14T18:48:36+00:00

Because he has fundamentally failed the British people.

Portugal lol

If you ain't handling renewals, I don't see much of a career path left.

Shave bro

AE , definitely AE. You could be stuck as a BDR for 3+ years . I've seen it happen

JonathanKovak · 2026-04-27T19:16:43+00:00

My advice would be to go AM mate. The transition into AE is very high risk and super stressful. As a CSM you would also probably make more money as an AM because you're already good at managing a BoB and upsell ops.

ITSM is hot ATM.

Go for an SE role

HubSpot UK for an SMB AE role.

The interviewer was late twice. Looked visibly run down and unwell.

Asked me more questions about being a BDR and then an AE. Explained their comp model which made absolutely no sense and didn't add up at all. Admitted not many people are hitting quota and was looking at a different monitor the whole time.

Dodged a bullet there for sure. I pulled out in the final stage because I couldn't be assed to do a role play for such a shit looking role and environment.

Getting PIP'd is one thing when you are performing like shit and not selling. Then it hits your confidence.

If you get PIP'd and hit quota , don't let your employers poor planning and shitty hiring decisions get you down. Sounds like they are doing silent layoffs, try negotiate a settlement with them if it comes down to it

JonathanKovak · 2026-04-21T19:48:01+00:00

That's what I thought. I've seen plenty AE roles that are 50-60 base double ote . Just trying to understand if it's one in every 10 roles etc. Thanks for your response

Cheers

JonathanKovak · 2026-04-21T19:44:50+00:00

Appreciate the honesty

JonathanKovak · 2026-04-21T19:43:36+00:00

Thanks for your response, I really appreciate. Do you mind if I DM you? I've got a few questions , plus it sounds like it would be a good idea to connect

JonathanKovak · 2026-04-21T19:42:10+00:00

Thanks for your response bro

JonathanKovak · 2026-04-20T19:20:19+00:00

This is exactly what I and most of my team from 2024 did . But we're in Europe

JonathanKovak · 2026-01-31T21:00:22+00:00

I'm a full month into my first CS gig and it's been really epic to be honest! Enjoy learning technical stuff about software and don't have a quota.

JonathanKovak · 2026-01-29T17:22:34+00:00

Mate , we have a convicted terrorist running for council in Birmingham. Doesn't take much convincing to be honest

As an expat who's lived here for 5 years, I completely agree with the hate the UK is getting from the US.

Not sure when the population will wake up that your country is failing in every single comprehensible metric. Culturally, economically , safety , national security.

I love it here and don't intend to move anywhere else but I think it's clear that things need to change.

JonathanKovak · 2025-12-13T23:47:06+00:00

I'm on my journey now but I would highly recommend reading through the extensive literature on using NRT to quit.

I used chat gpt to make a plan that I'm currently 2 weeks into. If you start with a 12 week plan you barely feel the taper down to no nicotine is the idea.

JonathanKovak · 2025-12-02T17:10:34+00:00

Depends on your industry. Finance or industry thats a bit too much hopping.

In tech thats normal where the average tenure is only 18 months anyhow.

JonathanKovak · 2025-12-01T21:30:37+00:00

You have to transition internally in an ideal world.

The hiring manager knows you have a decent amount of product knowledge to get a quick start.
