I’m about to interview a GTM Engineer, and honestly, I have no idea what I should be looking for.

I’m a PMM at an AI startup, and we’re hiring a GTM Engineer to work with me, so I’m part of the interview loop.

I know the basics of what GTM Engineers do, but I don’t really know what separates a good one from a great one.

Right now I’m thinking about looking at measurable outcomes like pipeline, user acquisition, revenue impact, workflow automation, etc. But how do you actually judge those numbers? What questions would you ask? What are the green flags or red flags?

I’ve already asked ChatGPT and Claude, but their answers were way too strategic and abstract. Can I expect more tactical, real-world hiring advice from people here?

If you’ve hired GTM Engineers (or are one yourself), I’d love to hear how you evaluate candidates.

Just got my first traffic ticket and a court date. I was cited for crossing a yellow dashed center line to pass a police car.

Has anyone dealt with a similar case here? Any advice on the law, possible defenses, or what to expect in traffic court would be greatly appreciated.

Also… please tell me someone has a dumber ticket story than mine. 😅

Update:
The citation was issued under CVC 21651(a)(1). I was not speeding. There was another car behind me honking, so I thought I was driving too slowly. I crossed the broken yellow line to pass the car in front of me (I wouldn’t have done it if I had realized it was a police car.). The officer told me that I stayed on the opposite side of the road for too long.

Hey everyone! I’m new to the area and need your recommendations on coffee shops! Ideally, I’m looking for a place with great coffee where I can also sit down and get some work done on my laptop.

I searched this sub already, but the recommendations are spread across a lot of different threads, so I thought I’d ask here.

I’ll try to visit as many of your recommendations as I can and update this post with my thoughts. Thanks so much!

1. Hacks Made Me Gayer
2. Team Deborah/Team Ava
3. WWDVD(What Would Deborah Vance do?)
4. You are My Voice 🌈
5. Deborah Vance for President
6. Looking for someone who hates me like Deborah hates Ava.

Or do you have a better one? Open to any ideas!

This is an update from my previous post: https://www.reddit.com/r/americanairlines/comments/1u50jdg/aa_gave_away_my_assigned_seat_while_i_was_already/

Thank you to everyone who commented on my previous post and shared advice. It helped me understand what information to ask AA for.

Long story short, the AA gate agent told me the flight was full and that my assigned seat had already been taken by another passenger. However, AA customer service later replied in writing that my seat was not reassigned and that the flight actually departed with open seats.

Both the gate agent and customer service still claim that I arrived too late.

I admit that I arrived relatively late, but I did not arrive after the required cutoff. I estimate that I got to the gate about 20 minutes before departure, and I am sure it was at least 15 minutes before departure. There were still two passengers ahead of me in line, and the gate door was still open.

I made a new post because people in the previous thread were arguing that the two passengers ahead of me might have been standby passengers, and that my seat may have been given away because the gate agent called my name and I did not respond.

However, AA’s written response now confirms that those assumptions were wrong. My seat was never reassigned, and the flight left with open seats. This means the gate agent gave me false information when she told me the flight was full and my seat had already been taken.

Looking back, I really should have insisted on scanning my boarding pass even after the gate agent refused, just so there would be a record showing that I was physically there.

My questions are:

1. How can I prove that I was at the gate before the 15-minute cutoff? Can I request security camera footage from SFO, or would the U.S. Department of Transportation request the footage as part of the complaint?
2. What else can I do besides filing a DOT complaint? Should I continue replying to AA customer service, or is there another department I should contact?

Thanks for your help!

I was supposed to fly from SFO to ORD today. I arrived at the gate about 20 minutes before departure. Boarding was still in progress, and there were still two passengers ahead of me in line.

When it was my turn, the gate agent told me the flight was full and I could not board. I told her I already had an assigned seat, 12E. She checked and said my seat had already been given to another passenger. Then she closed the boarding door.

This seriously disrupted my trip. I had a separate later flight from ORD to Seattle, which I had to cancel/change because I could no longer get to ORD. I ended up having to buy a last-minute SFO to Seattle ticket at a much higher cost. I was stuck at SFO from around 8 AM to 3 PM, and both the airport staff and AA phone customer service refused to provide any basic assistance like a lounge pass.

AA later told me that because my ORD to Seattle flight was on a separate booking, they would only issue travel credit for that part. I do not want travel credit. I want cash compensation/reimbursement because this happened only because AA denied me boarding and gave away my assigned seat before boarding was completed.

I’ve already submitted a refund/compensation request through AA’s website. Is there anything else I should do? Has anyone had success getting cash compensation in a situation like this?

Update:

1. The itinerary from SFO to ORD to Seattle is just for personal reason. I need to accompany a friend who has trouble flying alone, so I was transiting through ORD to meet her
2. Just to clarify, I had already checked in and had an assigned seat. This is the boarding pass I added to my wallet last night.
3. Does anyone know how to verify whether AA359 was actually full? Someone commented that there was still one open seat on the flight, but they didn’t reply when I asked how they checked.
4. Just to correct myself, I mixed up my seat number with the gate number earlier. My assigned seat was actually 12E.

Hi everyone! I just moved to San Mateo and I’m hoping to meet more people in the area. Are there any board game groups, clubs, or public places nearby where people regularly meet to play?

I’m especially into strategy-heavy Euro/German-style games like Ark Nova and Grand Austria Hotel, but I’m also happy to play lighter games like Splendor, Sea Salt & paper, 7 Wonder.

Would love any recommendations. Thanks!

I’m moving to Redmond for the summer and have been struggling to find a 3-month apartment or sublease. I may end up signing a 6-month lease, and these two apartments are my final options.

They seem very similar in terms of rent, floor plan, and location, so I’m hoping to hear from people who have lived there or know the area.

A few things I’m especially wondering about:

• Overall living experience
• Noise level
• Management / maintenance
• Safety and neighborhood
• Parking
• Any hidden fees or lease issues I should watch out for

I also have a 1-year-old dog, so pet-friendliness is an important factor for me.

Any recommendations, warnings, or personal experiences would be really appreciated. Thanks!
