  1. Thats a rare combo. Most Series B/C (Non Unicorns) are between 15 and 40 million in revenue and between 100 and 175 employees. Being a B or C with $250m in rev could easily result in a $1B valuation but there just are not that many of those and many of those out there are not built to last and their short life will likely result in being acquired. if the company has 2500-3000 employees...it's gonna be big and mature. the VC money doesn't always mean success, look at Wiz.....they are at Series C w/ $600m in funding and 180+ ppl. As far as I can tell it's growth by hiring, not a place for a Seller to be long term. Lot's or reps with small patches is how that typically works out.
  2. Tom Petty said that "the waiting is the hardest part" but for Salesmen it might be the second guessing and endless scenario processing in your head.
  3. Always will be. I've been doing the WFH for 20 years in a Field Sales role. I was always about 50/50 or 60/40 home office to customer facing. I probably tipped those scales to 65/35 once we had kids and moved out of NYC. I got very strategic with going to see clients/prospects face to face and really qualified my time spent. When Covid hit it wasn't much of a transition. Now I'm about to back out of a job I accepted as I don't really want to get back out there and break in a new product and category while Covid is still an issue and getting face time is still a risky prop and difficult as people are not in their offices. Sure I'll probably have pissed this recruiter and this new company off but on the flip side I got a 15 % bump in comp and mayb issues I had with my employer are being resolved, party in effort to stave off my departure and the attrition of others. better to take a raise right now and the devil I know.
  4. ah yes...more credit checks as background check process for hiring
  5. Sales is a lot science and a lot alchemy. Process and "at bats" lead to wins but some people just don't catch fire sometimes and at some places. WE just had a guy go back to Cisco, I explained the code here and what to do and it just didn't click for him. Every career 300 hitter has a 275 season
  6. It's pretty white: https://datausa.io/profile/geo/manhasset-ny Then again I live here: https://datausa.io/profile/geo/dix-hills-ny and the Whitest thing I can say is my neighbor across the street are black and that we are adjacent to here: https://datausa.io/profile/geo/wheatley-heights-ny and here: https://datausa.io/profile/geo/wyandanch-ny. My other two neighbors are Chinese and Greek and there are other ethnicities on our street. Our little 22 some house nabe is pretty diverse all things being equal. Manhasset can be very white, very Persian, especially as you get closer to Great Neck. It's Jewish but not as Jappy as say Roslyn. I like it there and the proximity to the city is great. I get more bang for the buck in Dix Hills. I get great public/municipal services, parks, and schools for the taxes I pay. The schools are great. I'm just a kid from Austins 78731, good public school trash from McCallum HS. I'm 50 min in a car or the train to NYC, and the train stop while in Wyandanch is only six minutes away. I'm an hour and change to the Hamptons
  7. What does this mean "I'm guessing not much in the way to The Blacks either."
  8. I'm team Nike and I don't wear the color Khaki like you and your Haggers and Bonobos
  9. You can order their Steak kits for cooking at home. I love it there and I really miss the old backroom through the kitchen.....the good old days
  10. I'm going to experiment this week with Beyond Meat Breakfast Sausage to make Biscuits and Gravy. I know, I know, I know. I hav to find some alternatives that are lower in cholesterol and fat than the way it should be made.
  11. that's how we do
  12. they reset it to NEw England from what I can tell, Ben Crapflick stars in it. Release on Netflix....I'll watch it.
  13. Generally speaking its very nice. Close to the city, good schools. Neighboring "towns" like Roslyn, Oyster BAy Cove, Syosset, Ertc are all nice....what do you want to know? I live out in Dix Hills My wife who is a Long Island native, South shore....she thinks its lovely.
  14. I'll be 64 when my twins graduate
  15. Who doesn't need one! https://boingboing.net/2021/11/11/excellent-use-of-3d-printer-to-make-um-hdmi-to-garden-hose-adapter.html
  16. I had a Cardiac Score ( non contrast) done and the score was a 1,000. I had one done seven years ago and it was 90. that's not good. All in all my Cholesterol is fairly well in control so this is odd. Going to have a Nuclear Stress Test done next week. Oh year....they think there might be a murmur or valve issue. Fun stuff.
  17. When we moved to Austin in '86, we lived right down Mt Bonnell Road from it. I'll miss it. I'd say it's a piece of ephemeral Austin but it had a long run.
  18. a ranch style house?
  19. they brought an eight month old to Haiti, I'd shoot the parents
  20. Austin Area gives zero fucks about traffic, road construction, or mass transpo. never has, never will.
  21. 100% unnecessary. As are the sleeping pads that do all those measurements as well. Another poster hit the nail with the Lizard Brain comment. PJs: your kid will live in them and spend half their day in them up through almost age 5. If you wife washes laundry as much as mine, they will shrink, but extra. Little boys live in Athletic shorts, sweats, joggers. I cannot ge tmine to wear jeans anymore. Shirts with buttons? nope.
  22. skidda-marink a dinka doo
