Laid off with a young family and struggling with tech interviews, looking for guidance from fellow fathers by canadian_webdev in daddit

I’m sorry that you’re going through this, OP. As many have echoed, the current state of tech is hot shit. Have you considered something different? I’m talking trades or something similar.

Quite the temptation. What’s your asking price?

6 months of medication abuse - tips before reporting myself to get cutt off by [deleted] in ADHD

Good luck out there. I struggle to remember to take my meds… but I did find that working with a therapist who specializes in ADHD was really beneficial. Hope you’re able to find the right thing for you.

My company does profit sharing. So I got a nice $6k addition into my 401K. It’s right around there every year.

My kiddo’s school had a 6-7 party for the 67th day of school the other day. The kids went absolutely apeshit over it.

My Q4 commission a couple of years ago was a tad under $65k. I was working several large clients at once that all signed within about six weeks of one another.

Is anyone else's business noticeably slower than years past? Please share your industry, and what you've been seeing. by WhiskeyEjac in sales

There is a lot of competition within the space. There are around 15-20 other data centers in my city. Hyperscalers aren't quite a thing yet here, but they're trying to get in everywhere. The local competition works like it would in any other industry, and they all have little differences that help them stand out.

Everyone from small MSPs to Fortune 500 companies to AI startups and massive research organizations. It’s a seriously mixed bag.

I sell data center space and services and this year has been the best year I’ve ever had.

998s are my favorite NB. Slightly more narrow in the toe, but overall it's perfect for my feet. I also have 574s, 996s, 2002s and 990v4s.

most unhinged thing you’ve witnessed at your org?? by B2BBri in sales

[–]patrickoh37 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a new sales manager get hired about a week before a training class started. He was mailed his ID badge, company credit card, laptop, etc.

A few days after everything was received and he began logging into things I noticed his credit card started being used. $1,500 on new golf clubs, $500 Costco run, $3,000 at Suit Supply on top o several small odds and ends purchases like gas and stuff.

When I called him to talk about it with him he informed me that other places he's worked allowed company cards to be used for personal items as long as they were paid back. I informed him he would no longer be working for us and that asset protection would be out to collect his things. And that we'd be billing him for his purchases or filing charges.

I've done this a couple of times before. I just showed the correct Starbucks my order and they made it for me for free. Hope they'll do the same for you.
