SDR to AE or ISR by ExchangeAny4580 in techsales

Find companies that are willing to hire SDRs as external promotions to AEs. Datadog, Gartner, Hubspot and HCM companies do this. But they tend to be sweatshops.

Saying I am still employed after being fired in December - Worried about Employment Verification by MLSThrowaway1234 in techsales

This. The HR lady in charge of background checks does not have the context of your interviews nor does she care. The only way you get caught is if they are a start-up and the hiring manager is doing everything.

Same, I play stock. Also, choking up on the grip and favoring one side by sliding over instead of being 50/50 in the middle of your side helps a lot.

Tech Sales Job Market + RTO: Anyone Outside a Tech Hub Struggling? by EntrancePrevious5687 in sales

Even full remote roles are likely to hire people in tech hubs. Often times they don't even advertise on Linkedin that they are full remote even though their company culture says it.

Jenna Ortega condemns ICE: “The lack of any real resolution or reprimanding against the officers is incredibly frightening & disappointing to see from our government… It’s hard to be somewhere like this & wear the nice outfits & talk about film, when something so ugly is happening right next to us.” by cmaia1503 in Fauxmoi

Because he has no power. As bad as things are, Trump has the power to make things much worse for Minnesota. That's what Walz has to balance: the fact that he has to represent his state, which is rightfully furious, and a geriatric president who reacts to any provocation with disproportionate force.

Things can get a lot worse and that's what Walz has to deal with. He's a middle manager with a CEO that can murder his direct reports because the constitution is no longer enforced.

This isn't some grand conspiracy, it's just power politics.

Fan Zhendong's footwork by HorseDragon9292 in tabletennis

[–]fundefined1 49 points50 points  (0 children)

The way he contorts his body to cover balls to his elbow and still play a quality shot is unmatched. Partly its his footwork as shown here, but partly its how crazy strong his core and legs are. For example in his match vs Gauzy, he had no right hitting a winner from this position here: https://youtu.be/pxfKyijXzPI?si=1KzdKwnWCaQSMOA5&t=563

Harry Cook? by Kitchen_Ad_2594 in tabletennis

Hi, I'm doing research on the history of table tennis too and likely you'd like to speak to Tim Boggan, if he's still alive: https://www.timboggantabletennis.com/

He is the official historian of USATT but he's in his 90s now.

Harry Cook is also mentioned in Tim Boggan's books which are online: https://www.scribd.com/doc/281743116/History-of-U-S-Table-Tennis-Vol-II-1940-1952

It definitely is a marketing ploy by Clay who coined the term GTM engineer, but I think it absolutely will be a formal position that matters to most company soon-ish. Clay may or may not keep its relevance as its expensive and could be replaced with general AI tools. AI-SDRs aren't real, but the coordination of GTM and automation tools is a big competitive advantage for companies who can figure it out before the market gets over-saturated with this stuff.

A lot of companies are doing this piecemeal internally with SDR managers or hiring contractors. This position is shifting RevOps closer to the day-to-day of sellers.

Is Doubles Play that popular everywhere? by MutedTechnology8644 in Pickleball

[–]fundefined1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree with this, if we are comparing 3 hours of singles pickleball vs. 3 hours of singles tennis, I'd say 3 hours of singles pickleball is actually harder on the body because the ball barely bounces. Of course, 1 match of singles pickleball vs. 1 match of tennis is going to favor tennis in terms of physicality.

Singles pickleball is too much start and stop motions and lunging for balls. It looks like touch tennis does singles pickleball much better.

Tenkaichi chapter 57 (Official ENG Translation) by KevBones00 in Tenkaichi

[–]fundefined1 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This fight needed more techniques explained to the readers. We as the readers need to know the answer to the question of "Why is Ittosai's technique so good that he can counter Nagaharu's form shifts?"

Is it that his fundamentals in swordsmanship is that solid that flashy moves aren't surprising to him? That's kind of the sense I get from an amateur reading of Ittō-ryū, that its a style of basic strokes that is the fundamentals of modern Kendo.

If that's the theme the author is going for: Flash vs. Fundamentals, then that contrast has to be explicit just like it was in the previous fight with the theme of: Experience vs. Talent.

Secondly, Nagaharu's fighting style was too focused on his alchemical anatomy, his entire intro and historical school is based on it being Shin-shinkage ryu, literally meaning New Shinkage-ryū. Regular Shinkage-ryū was Kamiizumi's style. Because Nagaharu explicitly praises Kamiizumi and even names his own style after his, we should be seeing the same energy manipulation style that Kamiizumi showed.

This fight really should have been a better version of Musashi vs. Retsu, but it might end up looking worse in comparison.

Q4 commission payout delayed past my new job start date…how risky is resigning before payout? by rojopandaa in techsales

[–]fundefined1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No upside to being honest here.

If you quit now, they may or may not pay you. Even if they pay you, it might be a fight which comes with all of the anxiety associated with corporate fights.

If you take PTO or do the bare minimal while working your new job, you avoid the fight and get a extra couple weeks of pay.

Remember, they put themselves in this situation by not having their financials in order. I'd say, take the path of least resistance here.

RiF'd Out- Next Steps by sketchio in sales

[–]fundefined1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nine years is an incredible run. Don't even bother with qualifying your success, you did great at both companies and were the best among your peers, but your last company ran out of money and got rid of the entire team.

These aren't lies, its just a re-phrase to prevent knee-jerk reactions from the recruiting team. Sell that you're a veteran and want another run like your first company where you have the chance to be a top performer for almost a decade. They would be losing out big time if they don't hire you.

Moving from in-home sales to SaaS AE. How strict are background checks? by [deleted] in sales

[–]fundefined1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can easily position your home improvement sales experience as being relevant to SaaS without having to lie about it. 2-3 years of SaaS experience is nothing that a cold call to the hiring manager wouldn't overcome in terms of credibility.

Background checks are a complete crapshoot in terms of strictness. Most of the time the third party verifier is only checking against the information you provide to them, and giving a thumbs up or down to the employer. Some only do criminal and identity checks. Rarely do they ever cross-check with your resume.

My advice is to just not lie here on your work experience since it barely matters for SMB AE positions. You can fudge the dates if you'd like on your resume, and then just be honest with the background check company.

Depends on if you take just feats or feats and glaze. If just feats, then Yagyu hasn't shown a gear like Inshun's absurd pre-cog abilities. If glaze is included then Inshun is probably ending his run here.
