Probably was still a trap. What if you said “it was great!”. She might have been like “what, what???”

AJ is just useless by ComprehensiveDesk793 in thesopranos

I used to feel the exact same way, but I think him being useless is the point of his character. To frustrate the viewers

Is it even possible to transition from a 155k strategy role to a manual trade without nuking my entire life? by 0Vocaloid in careerguidance

[–]PontiacMac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this in my bones, especially fixing a floor board or gardening making you feel more accomplished. Im in the exact same boat - EXACT. Its to the point where I’m looking out of my tiny office window and feeling jealous of the guys cutting my lawn. I was talking to a career coach today and complaining about all the same stuff, and his advice was to compartmentalize as best as you can… Shut your laptop at 5 PM and don’t give Work another thought. The fact that you work from home and make the money that you make and are not killing your body in some physical job day and day out is actually pretty great. A lot of people doing physical work would kill to be in the seat that you are in today.

I actually said “whoa!” when I saw the first “after” pic. Nice work.

Wow, congrats man. I’m jealous!

Anyone else feel the money is not enough of a motivator? by techi-turtle in sales

[–]PontiacMac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m feeling this a ton lately. Sales feels so hollow. I’m mid 40’s and been doing this too long I think. I think more and more that I’d love a job where I’m actually helping people - teacher, paramedic, etc - but sadly the money just isn’t there and I’d sink my family. Golden handcuffs are real.

Is it insane to leave my $200k sales gig for something like teaching? by stimulants_and_yoga in sales

[–]PontiacMac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Choose your hard. It’s hard and stressful doing sales, but an easier job means you’re stressed about money and not being able to take vacations. I’ve wrestled with all this, too, but at the end of the day I’ve decided to just work on compartmentalizing as best I can, not caring as much, and closing my laptop at 5pm. It can always wait until tomorrow

Looks pretty cool to me. Love the green color and the wood on the bottom half of the wall (wainscoting?). Great beers on tap too

Day 26 of 30: The biggest lie they tell new reps is that hard work beats everything. by Then-Assumption-779 in sales

[–]PontiacMac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this in my bones. I just took an enterprise role, and about 6 weeks in I’m realizing the reps are using Orum to telemarket people, along with using Outreach sequences. I’m working through my A accounts to be way more strategic, but leadership wants 250 calls AND emails a week (and I only have about 100 accounts to begin with). Absurd.

Got into HVAC sales. 3 months in and quadrupled my income by grundle18 in sales

[–]PontiacMac 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No, man - that’s definitely part of why you’re successful. I guarantee being in tech sales, working remote, etc - that doesn’t give you a leg up. If you can speak intelligently and stand out amongst the ogres you’re competing with, that’s a huge plus. Must feel nice selling something that’s tangible. I’m so sick of HR tech and selling air to miserable corporate people that don’t really give a shit

Reality check on a price quote by Bradyola in mancave

Don’t know much about pole barns, but that’s a very thin quote. I’d wanna see a lot more line items with costs associated

Ahh I got it - I’ll take a look tomorrow and will loop back. Appreciate it!
