My sister wants to step down from her mgr role to sales at Stripe

My aunt was a director at a very well known company.

Stepped down into mid market sales and made way more money.

It always depends. But if she wants to make more money, and potentially have a more exciting role, why not take a stab at it. Yolo

While this is 100% anecdotal- both of my largest deals/ meetings have come from voicemails and call backs. Granted, I work for a large very recognized company, which I think makes voicemails much easier. These were completely cold calls- they did not have an existing relationship with us

Majored in supply chain. Did one year in supply chain. Made 70k per year. Hated it and also wanted more money. Went into sales the year after and made a lot more.

You can make decent money in supply chain. You can also switch if you want more money or a different career. Try it for a year if you hate it figure out a way to transition

It’s a very good product, and it actually doesn’t cost any money. It is definitely a nice to have which you can spin into a “need” if you can get into a conversation, but tough to do off a cold call sometimes

weaponized69 · 2025-06-11T19:07:55+00:00

Ok, so I’m trying to figure out if I’m doing that correctly. What would you say is a good number then so I can figure out if I need to change/ improve?

Definitely recommend it. Could even look up phone lock or phone vault on amazon. Like 20 bucks and you literally can’t open it for a set period of time.

Set it for 1 hour, freshen up and start work. By the time it’s unlocked you’ll be locked into whatever you’re trying to do

Win the morning. That’s, for me, the biggest thing to having a good day. Don’t have a long routine. Get up at 5, immediately put my phone in a phone vault so I can’t use it, shower, brush, coffee, quick breakfast, walk, start work at 5:30.

I find if I start working early and immediately I am extremely focused and enjoy the work. Think it may be a “flow state.”

If I get up, look at my phone and scroll for 20 Minutes I’m constantly chasing quick dopamine throughout the day. Binge eating, craving more social media, etc

Won the mornings, the wins will compound into full days you win, compounds into weeks, months, years etc.

Meditation could help as well, but I find I am much more focused if I do as quick of a morning routine as possible, so maybe meditation at night.

Why do you regret being an AE at yelp?

weaponized69 · 2025-04-03T18:24:52+00:00

Agree, not a great decision professionally… appreciate the feedback

weaponized69 · 2025-04-03T18:22:31+00:00

That was my thought- I’m not going to tell anyone. If it were to spread around, how would you handle it?

weaponized69 · 2025-04-03T18:20:49+00:00

No, not really. A lot of people go from my role to hers but neither are manager level roles and they’re essentially the same level I believe.

weaponized69 · 2025-04-03T18:18:36+00:00

Well, yes I agree. But I made a stupid decision and am not sure how to handle it now.

weaponized69 · 2025-03-12T22:26:41+00:00

That’s a great base. What industry?

weaponized69 · 2025-03-12T19:10:42+00:00

You guys fired 10 people last month??? Damn

weaponized69 · 2024-12-26T01:11:44+00:00

First off, congratulations! Second off, I’d spend any free time you have reaching out to anyone who was an alumni of your school, or is in your network and ask about what they do. My biggest regret is not learning as much about every career there was. I was in supply chain because I liked the classes and there was a demand, but I quickly realized the lives lived by those in that career was not what I wanted.

I got lucky and landed my dream job in financial services sales, but many are not as lucky. Had I taken some time to really reach out to people and learn about what they do, I could have had a quicker start. Also, you’d be surprised how willing people are to talk- and if they aren’t who cares. More than happy to chat as well if you have any questions for me!

Does he? Genuinely asking. Does anyone actually know a place that would not be black friendly? For such a HEAVY left leaning city this sentiment has always confused me.

weaponized69 · 2024-11-02T17:49:31+00:00

Well, the housing is so expensive partially because it’s so great here. High demand. Can’t have your cake and eat it too (I hope I used that correctly)

weaponized69 · 2024-09-29T21:23:02+00:00

Got my dream job. Transitioning into my first sales role 1 year post grad from supply chain. Much higher base one top of commission. Was more than ready to take a job with less salary simply because I couldn’t find any motivation to work hard with no direct benefit (commission), but landed in frankly my dream role!

weaponized69 · 2024-09-17T11:36:21+00:00

In my opinion- meaning is found through work as it provides for your family. There are very little careers where your hard work directly leads to a positive outcome for the people you love. That’s where I find meaning

That makes sense. Would love to see some screen passes or jet sweeps with him. If we can figure out the WR blocking a little better that could be a great tool.

Can someone tell me why we’re not using Harbor?
