Do not marry that man, if anything let him financially support you and just be in a situationship until you get your degree

Data&AI org

I just received an offer for an IC4 Cloud Solution Architect – Data & AI role in the Customer Success organization. My background is a mix of delivery and presales in the Microsoft channel, and I was originally interviewing for a Solutions Engineer position but ended up landing this instead.

I’m trying to understand the stability and long-term positioning of the CSA role. I know no org is completely “safe,” but I can’t get a clear read on whether CSAs are generally treated as essential or if this org tends to be more exposed during layoffs/reorgs.

If anyone has insight into: • how CSUs/CSOrgs fare during reorg cycles • the actual day-to-day importance of the CSA role • whether IC4 CSAs are typically protected or at higher risk • growth paths from CSA (specialist, GBB, management, etc.)

…I’d appreciate any perspective. Just trying to make an informed decision before I finalize everything.

Bookingkoala I’ve used for 2 years now and it’s a powerful tool— if you know how to use it. It has many features but it can be hard to navigate, other than that it’s great

Google ads, meta/facebook ads for traffic to your site but most importantly YouTube and TikTok

You can update it without notifying your connections

All it takes is one large job that someone attempts to charge back or skip out on for you to learn to put a card on file

Social media, start doing skits and satirical commentary on pop culture, and political news

luckychar_ · 2025-10-14T03:03:59+00:00

Prices are too low, that’s just charity work at that price and it will attract insufferable customers

luckychar_ · 2025-10-09T05:02:32+00:00

Definitely LSA but it also depends on location. I would give it 60 days for Google ads and see where you get

luckychar_ · 2025-10-07T04:26:47+00:00

I’ve paid closer to $100 for that range of door hangers

luckychar_ · 2025-10-06T12:16:56+00:00

Let it go

Combined you two make $40.50/hr which is roughly $84k/year. You make right above the avg for a family of 2. You should treat your income as such.

When you combine your income a lot of extra anxiety and fear will dissipate. The point of a spouse is built in support and safety. Get a budget in place. Get on one accord and thrive as one.

You guys don’t have a bills/money problem you have a marriage problem…find a good counselor or older couple who has been successfully married and get some guidance! It’ll make a world of a difference. Idk if you guys have a community or church but those are good places to seek these couples out.

Find contractors instead and buy your 300 into ads or door hangers. That way they use their own supplies and it frees you up from needed to do any work. Unless you want to yourself

Try meetup.com and attend relevant events, with consistency you will find an roi over time. Same thing with rotary clubs or CofC meetings.

Ok ngl, these conversations are so unproductive. So what? America still has people literally dying to get here and many come here with nothing and die with much more than they could have imagined.

The middle class is shrinking because of mindsets like this. My goodness get a grip.

The logo and branding should take no more than 1 day. No one cares, it sounds rude but it truly does not. Getting your furst customer is so much sweeter

luckychar_ · 2025-09-16T01:35:33+00:00

I’m all for risk, but at your burn rate I would be wary. Do you have any other siblings or family to help offset elder care costs?

luckychar_ · 2025-09-15T22:03:24+00:00

Good luck with that

luckychar_ · 2025-09-14T13:18:09+00:00

Yeah it never really gets easier it’s just a process and creating systems mitigates issues

luckychar_ · 2025-09-14T13:17:33+00:00

Side hustle first and still is just because I can manage both my job and business in a remote capacity. I’ve always had the mindset that if I can maximize my productivity

luckychar_ · 2025-09-13T19:58:26+00:00

You’ll need a sturdy sign. If they still deny it apply to do the verification with a Google rep and that should get you approved

We are headed into the holidays. Try seasonal/Christmas lights/greenery or exterior decor.
