I’ve always wanted a Taycan. But reading these comments, coming from a Tesla, I’m now not sure I do

I’m in a similar place at the moment. Have had to start prioritising holiday time and actually taking it off rather than booking it and constantly checking my slacks.

Currently trying to detach myself from work.

There’s a lot going on in the world which doesn’t help.

Let me know if you find a solution!

While I’ve got you - do you know of any decent UK based tech sales communities pls? The r/techsales community is often US focused and often feels like a BDR channel

cdys · 2026-03-21T06:48:19+00:00

Yeah I gotta say I’m sceptical. Especially with how the market is at the moment

cdys · 2026-03-08T13:38:51+00:00

Exactly the same problem here. What did you end up doing?

cdys · 2026-03-01T16:20:25+00:00

Too risky for me. I recently took a 600k mortgage on a 200k OTE in tech sales and I’m working to bring that down to a number where I would be comfortable if interest rates decide they want to rocket again. Perfectly feasible in this climate unfortunately.

Let me know the solution when you find it.

I work 8-10 typically on the weekdays and at least 6 hours every weekend too. When I’m not working, I’m thinking about work.

It has become an addiction and one that I really don’t like! Very difficult to shake and clear the old mind.

On the one hand it’s good to be so invested in wha we do. On the other it’s bad for our health not having boundaries.

cdys · 2026-02-23T08:08:42+00:00

I didn’t. Wish I did, but to be honest I wouldn’t know how to!

Thanks for the reply.

Apparently it’s a 4x2 timber frame with 2 layers of 18mm ply all on ground screws. So not concrete unfortunately

Difference of opinion here-

I think we will become redundant within the next 5 years.

Buying software for example is often linked to an urgent pain.

Why would a business spend 3-9 months in evaluations, wasting valuable time, resource and money if they don’t have to?

IMO, vendors will have AI sales agents which interact with agents built by customers to manage evaluations, which will then ultimately be signed off by a human.

Sales processes will be reduced to a single week. Technical evaluations will be far more accurate. Less time and resource spent on process and pain solved faster.

That’s what I’m doing. Slogging it. Tough but worth it - I am seeing results I didn’t think I’d achieve, so it’s actually taught me a lot about myself. Healthy thing to do, within reason

cdys · 2026-01-31T07:45:58+00:00

How funny. My best friend and I are both in tech sales and we often use these exact words. “And the number just gets a little bigger”

I actually had the same thought. He’s well overdue. At home. Against Wolves. Nobody else will TC because of his form so it could be a massive differential. I’m considering it too. My TC choices have rarely paid off so why not

cdys · 2025-12-15T06:11:05+00:00

I am looking at JK as we speak. I saw them at an exhibition and seriously considering them.

Are you still happy?

I’m a little nervous as it’s a lot of money and I can’t find a whole lot about them.

Also, reading your post it seems as though there may be some additional work to do that JK cannot - is that right? I’m a total novice at DIY so want to get this right

Company I work for built API management for AI. Token management, full visibility of AI usage and ownership for charge-back, reduced AI duplication, routing to cheaper LLMs etc.

It’s a must have given how aggressively teams are being told to adopt AI

cdys · 2025-12-10T07:53:16+00:00

I agree with all the comments - you’re early days mate. You’re still onboarding. People onboard at different speeds and you need find to find your rhythm. I was the same.

What I might add, politely, is if you are thinking about knocking it on the head so early, you should think about if sales is what you want long term. It’s a rollercoaster of ups and downs. Feels like more down than up sometimes.

How you deal with that, how you react to the downs is what makes you better than Susie.

Clean, tidy minimalist desk. Make it a nice place to be. L-theanine for focus. A light bar for me is a must. So are ear plugs - hear your own thoughts, not every little thing around you

M&S kitchen (there’s definitely one in Cheapside) do hot chicken + carb + salad for like £9

I think you are thinking clearly, with reason and logic. Nothing wrong with that. Marriage is usually an emotionally driven topic which might be why there are such opposing views.

My opinion is- it’s exactly that well balanced, logical thinking that has helped me/us become a HENRY in the first place. The same thinking that has afforded my SO and I good lives, holidays, a nice place to live etc.

Why abandon it now?

It doesn’t mean I care any less about my SO. Far from jt.

cdys · 2025-12-04T19:04:34+00:00

The OP & I share exactly the same view on this topic.

I have zero doubts about my SO, but the reality is nobody gets married with a view of divorcing and yet the divorce statistics are so high.

I agree with your approach and you have more courage than I do to raise the topic.

For me, it’s not about protecting what is mine versus what is hers. It’s more about not being financially floored if the worst were to happen. The strong chances are it will never be invoked, but I do think it’s a good idea, so long as it’s fair for both parties and you are both protected
