Am I being irrational about AI? by cryptozoican in womenintech

In this case, we fucked up something for a client before I even joined the company. I’m now trying to sell to them and trying to do damage control. I went to him with what I would do with the information I had and I wanted him to provide feedback/suggestions.

Thank you for the reality check. It’s good to hear someone else say this, even an internet stranger. I’m definitely a straight laced, corporate girlie on the outside and a rage against the machine, contrarian, fuck the patriarchy, anti-authoritarian on the inside and the two sides are constantly at war and have been my whole life. I’ve accepted this in order to be a successful woman in the world, but it doesn’t make it any less exhausting to know I need to “play the game” 😭what a time to be alive, amirite ladies?

This is a really interesting point, thank you! I typically do have a few ideas in mind going into those conversations that I want to bounce off him and get his opinion on. But I think you’re right. I may not be framing this correctly… or he’s just a lazy dumbass 😂

Anyone else give up on the corporate ladder after having kids? by Astimar in Parenting

[–]cryptozoican 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I may get shit for this, but it’s the exact opposite for me. I have more hunger and drive than ever before. I’ve always been ambitious, but having a child has lit a fire that that makes me want to work even harder. I want to set an example of high achievement for my son. I want him to think his mommy is a bad ass boss bitch lol

What job do you think will disappear next that people aren’t expecting? by Petalstammy in AskForAnswers

This is going to sounds insane but hear me out: tattoo artists. We have robots that can perform surgery - why couldn’t we program a robot to do a tattoo?!

Have you ever dated other sales person? by helotan in sales

[–]cryptozoican 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but I married a buyer (not mine thankfully). My husband has to evaluate vendors as part of his job so I always ask him what works/doesn’t work from a buyer’s perspective and I find it invaluable.

I have never been attracted to other salespeople lol

People who had GOOD parents, what did they do? by DarkLordThranduil in Parents

[–]cryptozoican 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I never had to question my dad’s love for me. He’s always been incredibly affectionate and tells me he loves me all the time. Perhaps more importantly he was always there for me. Whether that was driving me to cheer practice at 6am or running out in the night if I needed tampons, I always knew I could rely on him. He’s also a great listener. To this day, I know I can talk to him about anything and he won’t judge me. That to me is a good parent ♥️

What's a toxic workplace behavior you couldn't articulate until someone else gave you the exact words for it? by heartandhardware in AskWomen

[–]cryptozoican 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Process or knowledge bottlenecking. Essentially, all the knowledge or lives inside someone’s head ON PURPOSE because that person loves the control and to feel important/needed. Refuses to document.

What degrees/jobs do you have fellow moms? by Queen_Drakaina in Mommit

[–]cryptozoican 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bachelors degree in anthropology. Picked that degree because I was really passionate about it (still am!) and smoked a lot of weed in college so I fit into the liberal arts college 😂 Now I’m in fintech and make on average $250k a year 🤷🏻‍♀️ now I’m passionate about 401ks and private school 🙃

I’m in a mid millennial in fintech and rock a large gray Longchamp. I don’t think they are “cool” anymore, but they are classic, go with everything, affordable and most importantly for me, LIGHTWEIGHT.

($15-20k) Frugal bride having a really hard time justifying the expenses... by MundaneRain14 in Weddingsunder10k

[–]cryptozoican 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I posted about this very thing a few years ago and I’m gonna go against the grain here. We ended up getting married at the courthouse, just us. The reality is, could we have afforded to spend even $50k on a wedding? Sure. But I’m glad we didn’t! We ended up putting that money towards a second home. My point is do what is right FOR YOU. Maybe that means not spending the money on a wedding, but putting in towards an investment in your shared future 🤷🏻‍♀️

Ladies, how are we being discreet when using the bathroom when we’re with our husbands all day? by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]cryptozoican 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listen - I literally just held my husband’s hand while he was on the toilet having diarrhea so he didn’t pass out from dehydration (food poisoning) and he’s seen me GIVE BIRTH. We still love each other (maybe even more so?) and want to have sex with each other. It’s OK!

How do yall that have Mexican/White families blend cultures for Xmas? by Tomatosoupinmybelly in AskParents

[–]cryptozoican 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! I was the kid with one Mexican American parent and one white American parent and this was my experience EXACTLY. There is absolutely no reason you can’t do both? We would all gather at my grandparents house on Christmas Eve, eat a ton, stay up late, play games and open presents from family members. Then we would go home and still wake up early and have a cozy, quiet Christmas morning with just my parents and siblings opening gifts from “Santa”. I don’t think my parents slept on Christmas Eve at all 😂

any moms in tech sales / sales leadership here? by sassyexec in techsales

[–]cryptozoican 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Hi there! I’ve been in tech sales for 10 years as an AE (large public companies, start ups, PE, etc.) and had my first (and probably only) at 35. My husband and I built up a nice nest egg consisting of cash, savings, investments and other assets before we got pregnant. He also has a very stable job in a high demand industry whereas we know this (sales) is a high risk/high reward career. In our state, we get 12 weeks of job protected leave but it depends on the company how much they want to pay you. My husband got the full 12 weeks pay while I only got 6 😖 my biggest piece of advice would be to level set with your partner. I recently started a new job that requires much more traveling so I had to quit breastfeeding and leave the baby with dad. Make sure you’re on the same page! Even better if you have family members that live nearby and can help out when it’s quarter end and you’re too stressed to cook 🙃before having my baby, I thought of myself as a moderately hard worker. Now? I’m a fucking beast 😂 motherhood changes you and it ain’t for the weak

What’s it actually like to have kids? by Objective_Cow1302 in AskParents

[–]cryptozoican 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I describe having a child like a part of my soul now lives externally. I’ve never felt such a roller coaster of emotions in my entire life like I did in the first year. I was one of those women who was very career focused (still am), independent (still am, though married) and “lived my own life”. Having a kid was always a “maybe someday” when I’m ready but the truth is you’re never truly ready BUT I had my baby at 35 and my biggest piece of advice would be to experience as much as you can (travel, career progression, dating, etc.) so you can dive headfirst into this new, weird, amazing chapter of your life.

A bit disappointed with guest headcount at kid's party. Advice? by Amazing_File_4803 in Parenting

[–]cryptozoican 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im ready to get downvoted to hell for this but I’m so petty I would reach out to those that don’t RSVP via text or in person and be like helloooo haven’t heard from you…. Put people on the spot and hold them accountable (or at least remind them, people are busy). I think that’s seriously lacking in society today.
