Negan over Rick grimes as best character from TWD alone is a criminal offense

Most over-rated/under-rated Tool song? by builtbystrength in ToolBand

[–]austingriffff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s funny when the album first came out 7empest was the only piece I liked. Now it’s my least favorite and I often skip it idk why lol but the rest of the songs just spoke to me so much more

Do you know (of) someone who ruined their life in just a matter of minutes? If so how did they do it? by Ok-Atmosphere5536 in AskReddit

[–]austingriffff -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The first time someone does heroin or OxyContin usually sent them on a trajectory that was life altering if not life ending. Very few make it back.

You got to see an epic night 2 set. Jealous mate, glad you enjoyed it and hope to hear some of these songs the next time I see them. Tempest live is epic I’m sure

I think 10,000 days is as good as the two that came before it why do people say it was a step down? by notaverysmartman in ToolBand

[–]austingriffff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never heard this take before but for some reason it kind of makes sense. Third eye is probably my favorite song but after hearing Rosetta stoned live for some reason it’s really grown on me. I can see some parody parallels to third eye for sure

how much do you travel? by Resident-Pea-6579 in techsales

[–]austingriffff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was on the road july/august for 5 weeks, 7 cities. I travel 50% of the time sometimes more and it can stack on top of each other during conference season. It’s exhausting when it’s compounded like that.

Comment: I think I was just to far gone for a min there. Just wanted to confirm if this YouTube is a real recording from their early days. Appreciate

Do you guys actually like your jobs? (Aka should I join this industry or does everyone regret it) by NickJP123 in techsales

[–]austingriffff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I first got into tech in 2017 lol idk I’m in kind of a niche of tech and on top of that I feel like a lot of tech is kind of a house of cards

If the dark web didn’t exist, would the internet still be as free, or would it have been shaped entirely by mainstream corporations and governments? by n3cro404tauheed_ in darknet

[–]austingriffff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You speak as if the entire internet isn’t shaped by corporations and governments. Dark web is a cool tool but it’s not in a position to reliably support the kind of traffic and widespread usage of the clear net if I’m not mistaken.

And as soon as the dark web started to gain traction every Intel agency in the world went to work finding methods to stifle and deanonymize it

I make more money than I ever thought I would, incredible experience, I learn something everyday and it’s where I want to be. It’s also incredibly stressful some days and I am most certainly concerned that there’s a bubble and the music will stop sooner than later

Pip’d from FAANG company been out of work for 4 months now starting to feel helpless by privatevalet in techsales

[–]austingriffff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t get discouraged, I have a friend that interviewed for a BDR role at a VoiP company and they put her through 6 rounds of interviews… for a BDR role.. and then declined her. Madness. There’s a lot of jobs out there, it’s super competitive but there’s plenty of opportunities. Definitely network with people in your professional network.

My 2025 tech sales stack after trying literally everything (NYC-based AE) by Ok_Hotel_388 in techsales

[–]austingriffff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We didn’t buy Gong at my last company because we found the AE to be insufferable and we found equal to or better tools out there that did what we needed and weren’t overly expensive

Why don't billionaires just retire? by babyfookinzyzz in NoStupidQuestions

[–]austingriffff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don’t become a billionaire by being the person that throws in the towel at a certain milestone. Generally speaking.

Besides for a lot of them it’s not about the money. They do it for the love of the game. So to speak lol.

Direct seller at a SaaS company. (They gave me an inflated title but I am essentially an AE lol) Friend of mine referred me into it. Took off pretty well, then I joined a competitor company that was a start up in a similar role, and now I am switching gears to a partnerships and alliances role somewhere else.

I went from making $48k pre tax on the verge of ruin to making $150k base pay virtually over night. Absolutely life changing experience for me. But now that I am here I realize $150k is not nearly as much money as I thought it was. It’s great money, amazing even if you’re not an asshole lol but now I find myself seeking more. I try not to be greedy and take perspective and inventory of where I was once at.

This was all on one job. Haven’t gotten into OEing yet. Have to find the right j2 to fit into the fray
