Ive been in SaaS sales for 4 years (same company) and there is an opening for an enterprise role which my manager is encouraging me to apply for.

Im super comfortable where im at and have lots of autonomy and time to kill throughout the day, but also dont want to become stagnant in my career/life.

Im curious to hear from those who made the jump - whats something you learned after making the move that you wish you knew before? What are some things to consider?

What something you wish you knew before moving up from commercial/mid-market to enterprise sales?

Preparing for my next role and I haven't interviewed in 4+ years so a bit rusty.

For those that have interviewed for an AE role, what were the most challenging and thought provoking question you were asked in the process? Which ones did you wish you had prepared an answer for?

Im looking at historical data and it seems that the market pretty much stayed flat during that time period. Even with dividends, I dont see a scenario where one could stay retired and not burn through savings.

I would think returning to the workforce would be the only option.

For those who retired at this time, how did you get by?

Im working towards FIRE and have about 20 years left on my journey. Currently have a 5 month emergency fund in Sofi HYSA, but SPAXX currently has a better apy/7 day yield.

Any reasons this would be a bad idea?

After a long bout with shin splints I dropped $220 on a pair of asics superblast and they feel amazing to run in. However I just learned that any shoe with a stack over 40mm is banned.

Im thinking of doing most of my training in these, then buying a race legal shoe to break in before the race and actually wear on race day, but I dont want to spend the cash if I dont have to.

Is this rule actually enforced for everyday amateur athletes?

Im not talking about coast fire, but slightly decreasing investments to be able to spend more money on hobbies, experiences, etc.

Im about to be 33, and have a networth of 170k. (150k of that invested in sp500, 20k in hysa). I started investing a bit late, so have been living well below my means to catch up.

My gut is saying when I hit a net worth of 250k, I can ease off a little and spend a bit more of each paycheck on myself.

What is the FIRE community's take on this? At what milestone did you ease up a bit and focus more on living in the present?

I started taking this seriously 2 years ago and am all in on VOO.

Im curious if there are better options out there.

Which is your fund of choice? Please provide context as to why you chose it

Im all in on Roth today and am in the 24% tax Bracket. Thinking about setting a goal of opening a traditional and trying to keep an equal balance between each.

To those who have already retired, have you found yourself in a scenario where you wish you had both?

Have you found yourself in a situation where you wish you had one vs the other?

Im curious if anyone here started there investment journey around or just before the year 2000 where the market stayed flat for a decade. Did you do anything other than dollar cost averaging?

Lots of the companies in this ETF pay out dividends, so if i own VOO are they just automatically included? Will i get a separate payout each quarter? Do I need to manually reinvest them?

Came across this company on repvue and damn it looks too good to be true.

82% quota attainment, 99th percentile for inbound leads, and 98th percentile for product market fit across 90 reviews. Those numbers alone make it sounds like a great opportunity.

Ive also seen some comments on reddit referring to it as "scammy" but without context.

What's it actually like working there?

To get C+ i only need to with purple, orange amd red stake on black deck but I am getting crushed.

​

I usually try to skip the first run for a rare/uncommon car, +$25 for beating the boss blind, a or holigraph/polygraph joker.

​

I try to play flushes until I can get scoring cards but sometimes ill go 3+ straight rounds where I keep losing on the first or second ante.

​

What strategies would you recommend?

Ive heard a few stories and seen a few posts of reps closing $2M+ deal and getting a six figure payout.

This has me extremely motivated to get one mysef and make it my career gaol. Right now im a MM SaaS rep and my largest new biz deal was 108k, which expanded by about 50k more throughout the year. As a company our largest account is just iver 1 mil.

I'm super curious to hear from those who've seen this type of commission, about the won deal including the ARR of the deal and what your commission was.

Also any obstacles or strategies used to get the win. Let's hear it

I have probably 17 years before I can retire early and have recently gotten into endurance cycling and yoga. It keeps me from losing my mind and gives me something to look forward to while working a corporate job.

I'm curious to hear what everyone else here enjoys in life

Ive locked in on all my investment accounts and am brainstorming other ways to bring in more income and increase my networth. Currently reading up oouse flipping or long term rentals and am curious what else is out there.

What other methods do you use aside from investment accounts and your job?

Ran this through gemini and its telling me that if "Investments = Annual Expenses × 30.7" i can withdrawl 3.25% per year ane never run out of money. This assumes an annual inflation rate of 3% and market returns of 7%.

It's exact quote... ​"Because your withdrawal rate (3.25%) plus inflation (3.0%) equals 6.25%, it sits safely below the conservative 7% long-term average return of the market. That leftover 0.75% surplus goes right back into the principal. Instead of draining the tank, you are living entirely off the excess "harvest" while the engine grows slightly larger every year."

The math seems to check out. Is this an accurate statement?
