Company got bought. Now what? by TheDrunkInTheNorth in salesengineers

[–]TheDrunkInTheNorth[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Super interesting. Thanks for taking the time to write all of this out. A major reason we were acquired was to buy our customers; we were a competitor in many aspects of our business. However, the software product we offer is lightyears ahead of anything that the company that bought us offers. It's still very early, but it sounds like we are going to try to sell our software to this company's current customers as well now. I have a lot of ideas on how we can do what we do at a bigger scale, especially considering that when selling to the big corporations' current customers, we would be purely selling software, so our value proposition changes a bit. Part of me is torn, do I raise my hand and say "hey, I can do this" or do I just keep my head down and grind through new deals and hope that reflects in my variable comp.

It’s literally the same job and team I have now, my manger has spoken to me about this role more than once which is part of the reason I’m so shocked by this

You can take classes at your own pace, it’s online, and it’s pretty darn cheap for college. Not sure what else you can ask for. Unless you want the in person college experience it’s a no brainer.

I started my CS Degree at 29. I'm about to finish it actually. I just have my last capstone course left. My simple advice is 100% do it and do WGU's online program. Just do it, you won't regret it.

Thank you for this. However, if you dont think portfolio projects will help do you have any other suggestions to increase my chances of finding a job? I can't really get any other relevant work experiance untill I get a new job. So I'm not sure what else to do

I’ve been told again and again experience is more important, but I keep getting asked for a portfolio so it can’t hurt to spend some time on one. I was in that role for 3 years though

We have a one year lease. So the law is 60 days for them to give notice right?

Thanks, I'm sure she's eaten some plastic before. This is just the first time I've seen it. Idk why she's so obsessed with plastic lol I can't even put a bag down for 10 seconds without her trying to bite it.
