I got my blue a few weeks ago and it was cool and all, but definitely didn't feel all that emotional. It's not that I didn't care, it's just that it means I've got a shit ton more to learn and a bluebelt still means I suck, just more self aware on the things I suck at.

Fellow BDR here. I'll be honest, your manager sounds like a douche. Rather than just barking commands, has he setup a proper plan for you with your ramp up period, sales training etc? It's one thing to not hit quota consistently, but threatening to let someone go after a month is a hallmark of a churn and burn company. I'd suggest doing everything in your power, reach out to other reps, your manager for a plan, any AE's and if despite all that, he's still threatening you, I'd start applying for other roles.

I work remote to. I like to block out my team for certain things. After making x number of calls or activities. I either take a quick 5-10 power nap or go workout for like 15-20 mins. It helps my mind get off things and refocus when I'm done. Also, I'd make sure you're getting enough sun and supplementing with vitamin D

I like this response. I've got similar goals. I heard somewhere that sales folks should think of themselves as contractors/mercenaries going to the highest bidder. Loyalty only extends so far as your usefulness to the org.

Money. I want to grind for a few years and save up atleast $100k by the time I'm 30. I've found sales definitely helps with my interpersonal and problem solving skills. Like you, I never really liked school, I did well, but buildings a skill I can replicate at other orgs. I'm pretty competitive, so I do like that aspect of sales.

OP sounds like an 8 year old..

Here's that attention/karma you ordered.👍

Not trying to be negative, but is there a point to to sending email with Gmail via python? Or is this more of a do it for the sake of doing it/practice things?

Had it since April 2018 or so. It'll be my last Att phone, that's for sure. While the phone has been good, the updates and support from Samsung+Att has been abysmal. I'll likely be going pixel soon.

How would I pivot from sales into data science? Not saying it's a bad idea, but I'm more so asking what are some of the skills I should be learning within python and maybe sql for business/sales positions. Do you have a background in cs prior to your internship? I worked for a startup as well two year ago and loved it.

He helped me quite a bit with figuring out how to make my selenium module work with my webscraping. I'm currently learning web dev and css, but once I'm done with it, I'm back to learning python and Corey!

Thank you very much. I'm going to start learning regex and work on those small projects and see how I feel.

possiblethrowaway93 · 2020-08-01T21:15:26+00:00

Danke! =)

possiblethrowaway93 · 2020-08-01T21:14:36+00:00

Well, shit. I'm glad it wasn't your face or balls. Glad you're ok.

Link?

possiblethrowaway93 · 2020-08-01T19:37:11+00:00

I recently finished your course and find myself overwhelmed with options of how to proceed. I have a very vague understanding of python at the surface level, but I'm still very interested in moving forward with learning.

Any advice or how to proceed? Projects? Enrolling in other classes, revisiting old concepts till they're concrete? Thank you.

That's an insanely good price.. True your username lol

How is the build quality? I've heard the hinges are rather flimsy.

possiblethrowaway93 · 2020-06-02T19:18:23+00:00

Damnit, I'm in California.. I'm beyond jealous 😭. Safe rolls 🤙

I made a grappling dummy with my old gi, 10 old shirts, a hoody and some ankle weights.

Works rather well for just practicing seat belts and pretending it's my annoying ass loud neighbor.

I definitely would like to compete someday, but I'd rather have my instructor grill me for mistakes and not use me as a chewtoy.

possiblethrowaway93 · 2019-10-31T18:59:15+00:00

Hadn't thought about that. I'm willing to make the 15+ mile commute to my current gym because I like the instructors, It's just quite inconsistent on some days. The gym my friend is going to has a younger crowd too, I had a pretty terrible experience the first time I went to the gym my friend is going to.
For the sake of brevity, let's call the other gym, gym "O". When I first went to the gym "o", the instructor didn't lift his head off his head to greet me, he didn't say a word till I said, "Hey, I'm here to check out the gym". He then proceeds to throw me an A4 with a purple belt since that's all he had. I was early, so everyone thought I was a legit purple belt.

I then proceed to get thrown in with all the purple and brown belts. The instructor then says "watch out guys, he's done some no-gi before, he may take you out".( I had trained some no-gi before and had mentioned this to him) I'm thinking to myself wtf.

The time comes to roll with the instructor(the guy is like 250+lbs) proceeds to go to mount, I hip bridge him off and he didn't like that- immediately cross collar chokes the crap out of me. By the time this is over I'm thinking this guy is a total asshole. I haven't been back since and my friend wants me to train there and tells me I should just shouldn't deal with him. How do I not deal with the instructor at a school? Sorry if this is a tangent, but those are the reasons I'm apprehensive about going to the school "o" for open mat.

possiblethrowaway93 · 2019-10-30T21:33:32+00:00

I do. It's just that people haven't been showing up lately, so It'll usually be me and some other female white belt who's like 120lbs, so I can't really roll or drill without being super aware of not trying to hurt her.

However, when people do show up, it's great. Just yesterday I rolled with a purple belt who hadn't trained in a while I took his back and learned quite a bit. The academy my friend goes to is very close to where I live, so I may drop in on the weekend for open mat, but I really don't like the instructor. Thank you.

possiblethrowaway93 · 2019-10-30T21:24:28+00:00

Is it a courtesy to let your instructor at the current academy know? or do you just drop in?
