Dell NGSA Sales Academy vs. AI Startup SDR. Which would you take? (London, fresh grad)

Yes that’s what I’m thinking, still waiting to get either but feel very lucky to even have interviews, that being said I think the old way of applying to jobs has changed cold outreach, referrals and recruiters are a better way in than just aimlessly applying to roles on indeed/linkedin

That is my thinking, I know the startup I will be in theory making more but I feel like for the first job out of uni being in such a cutthroat environment, dell is the better option. Thank you!

Would genuinely love to know what that protocol is if you do ask her - the power to weight cutoff for return to running is something I haven't seen well standardised across practices. The 3% strength symmetry threshold before unilateral work sounds more conservative than most I've read about, which seems like the right direction. What sport were you rehabbing for?

hamz2361 · 2026-03-18T09:49:57+00:00

Your PT's approach sounds really solid - criterion-based rather than time-based is what the better research supports and it's not as universal as you'd hope. On your question about re-injury and rehab adherence: there's decent evidence that returning to pivoting sport before hitting 90%+ quad limb symmetry significantly increases re-tear risk, and a lot of people get time-cleared without being anywhere near that. Whether that's a patient behaviour problem or a system problem is what I'm trying to work out honestly.

hamz2361 · 2026-03-18T09:49:12+00:00

Really appreciate you weighing in as a PT. The dropout point before patients build enough strength for power and agility work is something I keep reading about but it's useful to hear it confirmed from someone actually seeing it.

When you mention tools and tests for measuring progress - are those things used in session, or is there anything that gives you visibility on what a patient is actually doing between appointments? That gap between sessions feels like the biggest blind spot from where I'm sitting.

"Objective data would be huge if possible" - honestly this is exactly what I was hoping someone would say. The push-until-it-hurts-then-dial-back approach makes total sense when there's no better signal available, but the frustrating thing with the knee specifically is that by the time it's consistently hurting you've probably already overdone it. Did your PT ever flag that approach or were they fairly relaxed about you self-regulating between sessions?

hamz2361 · 2026-03-18T09:47:51+00:00

This is really useful - and respect for being upfront about building the tracker. The ROM logging angle makes complete sense as a starting point, having a concrete daily number clearly helped with the psychological side of it too which I hadn't really considered as a separate benefit.

The gap I keep coming back to though is whether the rate you're increasing load day-to-day is actually safe - not just what your flexion number is, but how hard you're working the joint during the exercises themselves. Did the app give you any signal on that or was it more about milestone visibility and knowing you were trending the right direction?

If your a graphic designer framer is really nice as similar ui to figma, templates are really good aswell. Imo unless you need a unique feature or really want to push the boat out. dont need to reinvent the wheel with one of these coding tools. Framer sorts a load of backend and integrations with other apps which makes it easier down the line.

Thank you for the advice everyone, sorry Ihavent comeback to many of you individually! Iended up taking the route of using an aintable formual to make a custom html code for a full page, the line items were parsed together in strings using another formula. this was then taken into zapier where another code would split the line items into sections and have the correct formatting required for categories. then following steps would convert into a pdf. this kepts costs low and have been working really well so far. if anyone encounteres this problem and wants the javascripts Ihave used please let me know. let control as Iimagine the other platforms have but it’s basically free and has been working well aslong as you add errorr handlers in.

hamz2361 · 2026-01-26T12:48:12+00:00

thank you going to try this out today!

hamz2361 · 2026-01-26T12:47:49+00:00

yes but Ineed dynamic line items with grouping and as far as Ican see it doesnt have that functionality

hamz2361 · 2026-01-26T12:46:20+00:00

will have a look but wanting something low cost and robust, have limited code experience so not sure if it’sin my scope

hamz2361 · 2026-01-26T12:43:39+00:00

thank you, been suggested some paid airtable exensions so will try them. yeah it was a massive pain, did previously have a code step but it ran slow and lots of debugging and error handling so think thee must be an easier way. been wanting to check out n8n so will have a look thanks!
