completely new to sales as a grad. do i take this path?

hi guys.

so i’m a 2025 law grad, and im currently on £26k ($35k) working a non-law practically unskilled job on minimum wage

i’ve just been offered the assessment centre/interview for what i thought was a £30k ($40k) job as a junior account manager.

turns out it’s actually a sales development representative position at £25k + £15k (uncapped commission), they were very vague with the JD and explaining what the role actually was.

it’s for a Saas fintech company as far as i remember and it’s a hybrid position, and they have some training and qualifications thing after completing the course - yes this was all being pushed by the trainer/recruiter

should i just go for it for the experience?

thanks

b2b saas sales minimum wage base + uncapped commission

hi guys so i’m currently in a shit job earning 26k, i’m a 2025 grad

i just got this offer working as a sales development rep in saas sales

these ppl wanted to move fast and hire quickly so i’m a little bit apprehensive

i asked if it was a sales heavy job and the lady was like “yes and no”, awfully vague

has anyone done something like this before?

the base salary is less than what i make now, should i go to the assessment centre or run for the hills

what happens when someone reports you as missing/endangered

hello

guys i’m really scared because i’m an estranged adult kid who probably (if not already) been reported missing but i’m perfectly fine.

i preemptively told the police that is this fictitious but now the police have been blowing up my phone and they want to come to my house next week

i’m shitting myself bc i really don’t want the police at my door, i’ve never interacted with the police in my life and i’m really scared.

i wish i never made the report preemptively now lol

does anyone know if they’re gonna question me or tell the fam where i live? do i have to open the door are they gonna bang on the door for me? do i have to go to the station?

are they gonna have lights and sirens i don’t want this to bring attention lol

thanks

i’m about to be the subject of a fictitious missing persons report (england)

hi guys

not sure if this is the right sub

so long story short i’m an adult and willingly left home months ago and moved out to an undisclosed location, fam didn’t know i was leaving but they knew once i’ve left.

i’ve not spoken to them for months and now they’re threatening me with missing persons report if i don’t make contact with them. they are also forcing me to turn my phone location on (which i won’t do)

i have no intention of making contact with them and I’m not missing. i’ve already told the police about this

is there anything else i need to do/know? can they still make a missing persons report about me

thanks

edit: guys the police just rang me and they’re coming on tuesday at 8pm to talk to me, fucking shitting myself

nmother threatening to report me to the police as missing

hi guys, I wanna make this really really short but I’ve been no contact since May but I left the household. I’ve moved out got a job got a car. I’ve been living by myself for three months with absolutely no contact with narcissistic mother.

I don’t ask for anything. I don’t want anything from her, but today she’s gone and texted me trying to get my location on Find My iPhone trying to figure out where I live at at where I work at.

i’ve also been ignoring these messages from her and now she’s saying that I don’t talk to her every single month she’s gonna call the police with me and report me is missing or whatever and when I left the household told the police that she is unstable

by the way, I left by myself and I’m very much not missing. I know where I am but I don’t want her to know where work and where I live at.

I don’t want to break no contacts just to avoid the police

what should I do guys? By the way, I’m almost 22 and I’m from the UK.

thanks love u

pip identity fraud

Hi folks Im dealing with suspected identity fraud involving a PIP claim made in my name. I’ve never claimed PIP or Universal Credit before.

I received a letter dated 28 May saying a claim was made using my details. It shows payments of £73.90 per week and a backdated payment of £1,794, which were paid into a bank account that isn’t mine.

I contacted DWP (both general line and fraud team), Action Fraud, and the police (Thames Valley Police via 101). I was told by DWP that the claim is being treated as fraud and has been stopped, but I’ve been told I won’t get ongoing updates while the investigation is active.

I was also told a name linked to the claim which I don’t recognise and have no connection to.

I’ve also submitted a Subject Access Request to DWP and contacted their Data Protection team to try and confirm what personal data was used (NI number, address, DOB, etc.) and how the claim was made.

So far, I’ve checked:
- HMRC / PAYE → normal

credit file → normal

no other signs of fraud or accounts in my name

I’m trying to understand:
how my details were used for this claim
whether this is likely from a data leak vs targeted identity theft

what further steps I should take to protect myself
Any advice on how to stay safe / what else I should be checking would be appreciated.

thanks love u guys

BE CAREFUL ABOUT IDENTITY FRAUD PLEASE

hi folks so long story short i was jobless for 5 months and as we all do, we mass apply to jobs and the like and we just insert our details anywhere and get a few spam calls here and there

we’ll im now employed and have been for some time and i’ve just realised that someone’s been using my whole details to make PIP BENEFIT claims and claiming money fraudulently using my details

probably from my national insurance, dob, name and address

PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHEN APPLYING. i can only boil it down to all the applications i’ve done that my details got into the wrong persons hands

a complete stranger has done this and DWP gave me their name

yea i’ve reported it to DWP, the police and action fraud

no no one else knows my details apart from me

just be careful and stay safe, half of these jobs are scams

get cifas protection and STAY AWARE

the guilt of leaving and then the flying monkeys

hi folks really quick questions as i’m almost very close to liberation and being freed from the shackles of n.mother.

it’s been about 12 years of foolishness which stops in a month

guilt of leaving

i have to leave and i have to get gone and i really don’t have much guilt but it’s more fear of leaving and really cutting of the bitch who birthed me for good.

there’s no coming back from this and i fear i’m making a rash decision but i’ve really had enough

i want to go no contact for real and i’m gonna ditch the sim on my phone and change my number.

i would happily go no contact with her and act like she’s dead.

even when she dies, don’t contact me, contact the funeral home.

are there any ways to navigate this feeling and adjust to going no contact permanently, and i mean for ever

flying monkeys

this segways nicely into flying monkeys. now i don’t have any siblings or anyone who’s close to me and her.

but i know her wicked and evil family are going to blow up my phone guilt-tripping me and pestering me into explaining my actions.

do you guys think i should just block them as well?

the main crux of the problem is that this is a very permanent decision.

i’m essentially moving like i have zero family (even tho i’m not close to them anyways)

and the only parent i have left i’m treating as if she’s dead (she’s essentially dead to me anyways)

how do i navigate this whole thing and the permanent-ness of it all

thanks love u guys 😛

manager messaging me on whatsapp not teams

hi guys

quick question: so basically i’m in this semi corporate job and everyone uses teams (which i’m very familiar with) but my manager somehow insists on using whatsapp with me - to the point where i just continue the convo via teams

idk why.. because when i want to ask her something when i’m working from home it’s always on teams. NEVER by whatsapp

bare in mind she’s got my personal number, messaging me from her personal phone. she’ll ring me on whatsapp rather than teams, she’ll text me about work on whatsapp.

very strange

this is very much against company policy. i checked

has anyone else had this strange experience? we work for a v big company btw

hi folks

so long story short, i’m trying to move my stuff out of this bitches house in stealth mode and into my car (i’m gonna get a storage locker to transfer bits over before i move out to my actual place)

she doesn’t know that i’m planning to move out earliest next month or that i have a car or even that i have a drivers license

but she’s getting suspicious because stuff is leaving my room and she told me she wants to move out as well and keeps invading my room and going though my stuff

does anyone have any tips for moving stuff out in secret? she’s always at the house because she unemployed or something.

the last thing i was is for her to start asking questions and i can only use the charity excuse so many times

(all my car documents are in my car)

also do you guys know where i can put all my important documents like passport, insurance license, car documents rather than my car or my room. just incase she kicks me out one day and i have to high-tail it out of there before i officially move out
