I don't know what's up but I am grateful to CZcams for recommending me these small channels.
Its always relatable to see normal people talk about their normal life instead of big production studios pumping out videos for the sole purpose of money.
That said, sorry to hear that you got laid off but its nice to see you're taking it positively and as a learning experience.
Np at all! I always enjoy discovering new channels too! Thanks for watching btw! :D
Thanks for sharing, unfortunately, you were set up for failure. The management was ghosting you probably cuz they knew you weren't a fit from day one. This is not anything on you and everything to do with the work environment you were hired into. They wanted you out by day one and IMO, were quietly firing you.
Yeh I kind of got this feeling from my local sales team I was suppose to support. They wanted me out day 1.
6:25 anyone else notice this new feature youtube added? whenever someone in the video you're watching says "like" or "subscribe" below, the subscribe or like button lights up in a rainbow border color
I make 6 figures not working in Tech and have been working for the same company for the last 15 years! Tech jobs are not stable you will be replaced or laid off quickly.
Keep up that great energy! You have a great attitude and I know you'll do well no matter what path you take!
Thank you, I'll do my best! and thanks for watching!
Great and honest Content, keep up the good work!
Thanks for sharing your story! Love how genuine you are. Those red flags tho = gut feelings to run!
Thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching!
When one door closes another one opens! Keep the grind up
Thank you! thats the goal!
When door closes it comes with a pair usually
Interestingly enough, I have been pushing to become a sales engineer. I would like to be a sales engineer for a bigger company, like Amazon, AWS, or even salesforce. What sold me on pursuing sales engineering was the potential upsides of having a salary, that strong and it being commission based also. I would like to know a little bit more of the nooks and crannies on. Whatâs your day today was like. Also, Iâm interested in your discord community class or coaching. Making that much money off. Discord is insane.
Sales engineering is great, if I could I would still be one as the job could be chill at times with a great salary. And less pressure to sell compared to an AE. Feel free to msg the discord chat and I can answer more specific questions
Whatâs the discord chat url
should be in the description, I think you joined already tho, just making sure (:@@marylandman
Yup to the ending message
Your a great speaker. Good luck.
This video is super relatable! I just got laid off tooâŠone week into my new tech role hahaha.
I got hired as a Digital Marketing Account Manager at an ad agency (start up) which was 100% remote. In the first week, I also sat in on zoom calls being like a fly on the wall, trying to learn as much as I can. Anyways, one week rolls around and we get on a sudden important zoom call with the director and they informed us of the bad news that the company isnât doing well financially, so theyâll have to start doing lay offs temporarily (2-3 months).
Ouch! I just got here! Anyways, I was obviously the first on the chopping block. I didnât receive my 1st week pay yet or offered any severance pay.
Iâm all good though, Iâm still running my own small digital marketing business to lean on for my monthly expenses. I was just excited to try out something new. But I guess this is a sign from the universe telling me itâs not meant to be.
Sorry for the blab, I just got laid off last week so itâs still fresh. Thank you for sharing your lay off experience and itâs great youâre doing well! đđŒ
What does sales engineer even mean. You can be a salesman. You can be an engineer. I have no idea what a sales engineer means and I've been in the business 40 years.
They support the account executives with demos, product questions and answers, etc.
I think this is what we used to call Technical Sales. Usually a technical person who could do all the demos and answer all the technical questions about the product.
NOT an engineer. Don't denigrate the profession.
@@njcanuckEveryone is an engineer nowadays. The title inflation has gotten ridiculous.
@@jdulmaine If you're not an accredited P.Eng., you're not an engineer.
How much was a month of severance pay out? Was that more than $5K? Does that also include annual leave?
The algorith doing its magic, just subscribed, the best for you.
Thank you! âșïž
2024 in a nutshell summarized as the mass laid off year.
Itâs been a tough year! I hope you didnât get laid off as well! Thanks for watching too!
Great Attitude. You sound happy. Well done!
Thank you, it was a great lesson I learned!
How did u land this job? Whats experience and qualifications one need to be Sales Engineer? Pls advise.
Keep up the positive attitude. Doesn't seem like a bad company. Probably going thru some turbulent times. They probably wanted to get ahead of the 'curve' and hire you in anticipation of company growth. They gave you severance which is great. You didn't get bummed out which is great. But you're right when one door closes another opens. It's up to us to walk thru.
Sadly it sounds like the writing was on the wall. Love your outlook - seems like there were significant challenges ahead of the company. Keep hustling :)
ty!
U must be very good at something until people cannot ignore you. U must build ur basic or core competencies. Otherwise it will get repeated again and again
Oh this, 1000%. Attention economy
@@xxdarkshotzxx i learnt this hard truth from my own experience
@@xxdarkshotzxx what is 1000% attention economy means?
Good luck to you and I will hit to Thailand to early retirement soon because everything is cheap compare to California.
subbed
You seem like a really cool dude. Sounds like they didnt give you much to do but paid you 100k+? thats insane haha. Best of luck.
Thank you! Yeh I got super lucky with a chill job that paid me. But also extremely unlucky with nothing to show for... it's hard finding a new job at the moment.
Look at an average teacher salary ? Where can a company find money to spend on these guys who say they are in "tech".
You got laid off and right away you go on vacation !!?... out of the country !!!??? đ€Żđ€Ż
Yes, the writing was on the wall.
Sucks to get laid off, but hey at least did get a paycheck for awhile. Good Luck out there.
That's not an engineer.
Why would you complain about not having anything to do? that's awesome.
I want to get laid off too.
Wtf lol đ

You need , to file suite, 1 year of work with limited experience. You could have gained a lot better job experience, to get another job, instead you say, around for a year. B at not to mention, that you did nothing for a year, and apply elsewhere, but if it effects your job application, process file suite. You could, have by this point, known everyone in and out, to take your bosses job, but instead you do not even know your position.
What do you mean?
No such thing as a secured jobs. đ get your college funds backđą
Hello Full-Time CZcams
Six figures? Everyone in tech practically makes six figures. Whatâs the point of mentioning six figures let alone making it a title
Not all sales engineers make 6 figures in tech
Itâs both a âflexâ (typically on those who are undergrads still out of luck wanting this) and an attempt at generating traffic through the algorithm.
To show how you can make a lot of money to making nothing....
@@stanley19430If they donât then they arenât really sales engineers.
Sales engineer? What is that even? Just sales right ?
More technical sales people who help out the regular sales people (AEs)
