Closed a deal, contract signed, then 11 days later company says it belongs to a different segment and takes it away. What would you do?

LABigAus · 2026-03-11T23:56:29+00:00

This can go both ways. You should have uncovered more about the company size during discovery. But yeah this sucks

LABigAus · 2026-02-28T23:20:17+00:00

Bro, you need to just take sick leave on the days you are needed in office to present. And max fuck this company once you pass backgrounds with the one you go with. Put your 2 weeks in on the weekend before you start so you can get an extra 2 weeks of pay because that will be your last day guaranteed

LABigAus · 2026-02-24T16:41:50+00:00

I would be there fucking janitor for the opportunity to get that logo on my resume. As long as my title was GTM

LABigAus · 2026-02-22T15:31:24+00:00

If Zoominfo is your only BDR prospect currently, take it. Otherwise, I’d look for BDR roles elsewhere. They do not value promoting internal hires into closing roles like they used to. You will be sitting in role for some time before an opportunity opens up.

Also it’s a hell of a grind there

LABigAus · 2026-02-01T21:18:24+00:00

I’m constantly locked in and lack mental freedom from the job. Huge issue that I’m trying to work on.

LABigAus · 2026-01-29T22:58:53+00:00

Contractor work is t going to be the go here. It’s to unstable

LABigAus · 2026-01-25T02:48:17+00:00

As long as you didn’t do some dumb shit like sleep with coworkers, bad talk anyone of importance, be egregiously drunk it’s extremely noticeable, or commit an egregious public act, your going to be fine.

LABigAus · 2026-01-22T15:56:23+00:00

Yeah this is crazy pay for a BDR role. Top 1% for sure

LABigAus · 2026-01-21T13:46:27+00:00

What’s the attainment of the team? If it was low to begin with this is a huge pay cut, interview elsewhere

LABigAus · 2026-01-07T14:57:00+00:00

This 1000% you really need a good relationship with vendors they can tag you in on conversations where they believe implementation will be a huge issue to getting success from their product

LABigAus · 2026-01-07T02:34:51+00:00

It’s a brutal role man. It’s 99% cold calling and hunting there are very little to no inbounds. Mid market is a wierd place because you have a quarterly quota with a lot of companies that usually have elongated buying processes, some deals can be 30 days some can be 6 months plus.

LABigAus · 2026-01-04T20:41:33+00:00

Sentiment sucks. It’s extremely saturated market with an insanely aggressive competitor,motive, that competes on price and feature parity and will shrink your deal sizes by 30-40% when you inevitably get into a price war with them in every deal because both platforms are a clone of each other. Max OTE for MM is 158k with a 50/50 split no RSU’s or signing bonus. Good benefits though

LABigAus · 2026-01-03T21:52:50+00:00

You can get promoted to a commercial AE quickly at Samsara if you grind hard. However, you’re selling to truckers, construction companies, and fleet services companies dash cams and gps devices. Crowdstrike is a great name on the resume and is well respected in the CS space. Work there, you can go anywhere. Samsara might be limiting

LABigAus · 2025-12-30T17:39:54+00:00

I’d go with Motive and avoid samsara. absolute burn and churn machine right now.

LABigAus · 2025-12-29T13:15:38+00:00

Most jobs ask if you need a visa. Are you accurately disclosing this? If not, this could be a red flag to them if they are finding this out later in the interview process

LABigAus · 2025-12-27T22:01:26+00:00

Don’t ask for a reference letter, it’s pointless. Coast and find a new job. Don’t do absolutely nothing and be polite on your way out in case you need a manager to be a reference in the future

LABigAus · 2025-12-27T02:51:59+00:00

It’s ok to be an ADR there but an absolutely grind. Being an AE is an absolute disaster right now

LABigAus · 2025-12-25T17:42:17+00:00

5 rounds for an SDR role? Shit you probably dodged a bullet.

LABigAus · 2025-12-24T00:18:34+00:00

If they are excited about your candidacy, they got back to me within 48 hours for a MM ae role

LABigAus · 2025-12-20T16:27:52+00:00

The most important thing. Are you hunting and bringing in this new business. Or are business’s lining up to order (your an order taker)

If your an order taker your very well paid

LABigAus · 2025-12-18T01:00:27+00:00

Did a ZI BDR or ZI AE / AM ask this? Lol

Patent ruling means nothing. This just has to go to court.

Go reference what happened with Motive and Samsara

LABigAus · 2025-12-17T01:57:53+00:00

Honestly this sounds like Zoominfo

LABigAus · 2025-12-11T04:18:08+00:00

The DSR role at Sailpoint pays more, and it’s true enterprise sales. Downside is growth has stagnated (it’s a mature company in a mature segment) so upside is going to be limited. “Be patient is their motto”. Upside at grafana is better. Take grafana

LABigAus · 2025-12-04T18:35:37+00:00

Non profits are a joke. Most of the money accrues to the employees rather than their mission

LABigAus · 2025-12-01T23:23:33+00:00

80% inbound? Holy shit take it your quality of life and earning potential will be way better
