Had a west African cab driver once. Kept complaining about the dirty and disgusting "hip hoppers" giving his people a bad name by association of color. It was in long Island
we had a cabbie in Amagansett one night regal us of mucvh he despised the "Boober" (Uber) for ruining the cab business. LI Cabs are a whole thread unto itself.
it's Ronkonkoma, and its where you wake up if you pass out on my train line coming home in the evening, the poors also take it to Macarthur Airport to fly Southwest.

early 90's, right off I-35 frontage road and 290, by the Amayas Taco Village...once there lived a Bombay Bicycle Club (think: shitty Fridays or Bennegand ripoff) that had all you can eat Fajitas. good times for a college kid

meh....money is being spent, doesn't mean much in reality. Example: I see investment in IAM and IDAS all day, and everyone is a disruptor with the nextGen AI, ML, blah blah, blah in very mature and crowed spaces. they can't all succeed. this specific market is hot b/c the tag line (with some truthiness) that "Identity is security" and the traditional IAM players needed to evolve, which they either do or they perish (looking at you CA and RSA) but we don;t need more Okta's or Ping's or ForgeRocks, etc. The investors backs up the spend with the "new normal" validation of everyone WFH, everything SaaS, everything cloud. Great, again the barrier to enter and survive this market is huge and the Enterprise has largely solved the issue and it's a race to the bottom on the SMB.
fucking "unicorns" and "disruptive"...add that to the buzzword bullshit list. It started with "Synergy" in the 90's

Stranger will shave your balls. I’ve been talking about getting one and haven’t.

Depends on how big your home is and how many AC units you have. A 20 kw will power a small to medium home. You want a propane one. You need a transfer switch wired in to your house panel. I got a price for a Kohler this year. With a maintenance contract and a 2nd propane tank which is what they recommend so it's always full, it would have cost $20k over a 10 year period. The average lifetime of a generator is around 12 years, less if you live on the coast. I couldn't pull the trigger. We never lost power during the last event and have a propane wall heater in the house for emergencies. I will probably end up getting a 3 or 4 kw generator that will keep the fridges, freezer and water running.
Propane is the most "self sufficient" but connecting to your homes NG line is the most hands free free / automagic option.

Thanks for that insight, it really explains a lot - especially the part about not being built to last and the acquisition aspect. That's the exact situation that I'm in, but I jumped in willingly after 10 years in a mind-numbing yet lucrative Fortune 100 job.
And that's ok too. Sometimes knowing the likely outcome is helpful. I'm been bought and sold, all good. Sometimes you the smaller/start up shop gets acquired and you get incentives to stay for a year or two before you are folded into the big shops comp plan. For that period of time you are the shiny new toy and the overlay and its money money money till its not.
The place I'm at, there were maybe 150 of us when I joined 7 years ago and it was a diamond in the ruff that had been around for 10 years and everyone had forgotten about it. We grew (350ppl), we merged (750), we acquired (2500 ppl in our BU) and we are a part of a (60K ppl) global organization that builds electrical systems and provides services for the aerospace, defence, transportation and security markets.

Series B/C, $1bn+ valuation firm with $250+ revenue and give or take 10% of 2500-3000 employees
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.

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.

Is field sales still a thing?
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.

I’ve got a question for you sales guys that are killing it:
how much of your success do you attribute to you vs how much is the work you do? IOW if I came into your job and did all the same things as you would I have 100% of your success? 90? 20?
I’m recruiting a little bit right now and in telling people what’s available I can tell they just don’t believe me. I tell them (and honestly believe) if you just sit down and do the things I do (and I don’t work terribly hard to be honest) your results will be the same as mine. Nobody believes me.
I’m in an industry where 3 or 4 units a month is probably the standard but I’m doing 25 a month and I don’t think there’s anything that’s not replicable or special about me (at least not anything special about me that helps me succeed in the job). I think it’s 100% the work.
Anyway, looking for thoughts on this as sort of an existential question that I need to get the answer to correctly so it helps me in recruitment and managing expectations.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

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

What does this mean "I'm guessing not much in the way to The Blacks either."

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.

I don't know how to edit my post, but it looks like Clooney directed a movie adaptation of the book that will get released in about a month. Small world.
they reset it to NEw England from what I can tell, Ben Crapflick stars in it. Release on Netflix....I'll watch it.

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.
