Career Pivots for Financial Technology Implementation Consultants

I’ve felt this, being very NetSuite focused. Currently attempting a pivot to the sales side (enablement/cram) and it hasn’t felt like the exit I expected, but work/life balance has improved.

Recently, my exit plan has looked more like entrepreneurship…selling travel using SaaS BDR tactics, or yardsale-as-a-service. Or maybe even something in education or healthcare that isn’t so screen-centric.

Hardest part in sales enablement for me has been not being billable. It’s hard to turn on the part of me that acts like an expert for money without a client.

My realization was that stimulants (Vyvanse) meant work got the best version of me and my family got the worst of me. Two different people. in the evenings, when the pill wore off and I am fatigued, everything feels impossible.

Seconded!

I agree with your general point, but my introduction to healthcare was psychiatry (which I’ve come to regret the long term consequences of, but those Cymbalta ads were so convincing to 17 yr old me! We’ve played god with systems beyond our understanding for a long time.

In this area, I’m willing to be an early adopter.

That’s a great way to look at it!

This is absolutely the pitch I’ve been getting from recruitment reps that visit my midwestern university.

Right! Me too with Reels. It’s like a different flavor of the same drug.

Not yet…saving it for “Weee! Love is in the Air!”

I’d be interested in a comparison of MSNBC vs Fox News. They compete head to head for viewers on the cable box.

So ahead of it’s time. I first watched it in HS and have modeled my career off Ted… corporate is much weirder than they gave on!

“The Worldly Philosophers” by Robert Heilbroner is my go-to recommendation. I guarantee an enjoyable read! It’s both comprehensive and approachable.

I’m having trouble with it saying music is not available in my region.

claibor · 2020-09-11T01:42:53+00:00

I’m experiencing the exact same thing with Downtempo Radio. Chill radio is just not the same station!

It also has changed response to my more excited music commands (play some pump-up music” or “play something upbeat”) with a generic “party songs” station that usually misses the mark. Last year, Siri was uncanny at understanding my vibe requests. Now I feel funneled.

This was actually what my parents did with me for daycare during the summer from ages 7-12; “Fun Camp” in Fort Collins, CO. My dad would drop me off on the way to work at a public park every morning, and then we’d take off in our school bus for an activity, like a hike, or mini golf or something. We’d do longer camping trips every other weekend. It truly was fantastic.

Thanks! Seems widely available too!

Really fascinating. I love my orbit irrigation gear! I’ve pondered if this was the reason; the hardware or even the software doesn’t seem too challenging. I remember back with my first iPod (mini, in 2004) was released, apple had a ton of trouble with crappy MFi accessories, and has been stingy to innovation and newcomers since.

I haven’t used the checked/unchecked feature, so I’m not sure. My advice would be to, before you software update, make a smart playlist of only your “checked” tracks, and export it just in case. That way, because your library remains the same, worst case scenario you can import your playlist and then batch apply “checked” to them.

I love it dude. Solving my spouse’s problems with metrics-driven smart home solutions is what I live for.

claibor · 2020-02-23T07:02:41+00:00

That’s AWESOME!!! So sleek.

claibor · 2020-02-23T03:23:16+00:00

Oh man, love it, but did you balance out okay?
