So this recruiter has been calling me for a few days just at the wrong times when I am in the office. On my drive home we finally connect when I can talk. He tells me he has an opening for a senior account executive role. (My ears perk up cause that would be a nice step up the ladder consider I became an AE only a year ago.)

Then he tells me I selected you because of your linked in profile and the vast knowledge you have around Microsoft. He then goes on to tell me the role is with DELL. OMG I am speechless which is pretty rare. I was like ok go on what is the offering... 80k base (me in my head OMFG our SAE’s have a 60k base) total comp 120-150k. (I have been trying to break 100k for 3 years now.) We talk for a bit more he is like well I really want you to send me your updated resume I really think you are a great fit for this role.

Cliff notes I have to work on my resume this weekend. Never in a million years would I have thought of ever working for Dell. Bottom line is money talks bull shit walks. Wish me luck.

I think it was Nerftitties or Nangiggles who recently severed ties with Dell. I hope your experience fairs better!
 
Kick ass QT, I hope you land the job!!!!

I too am going to be redoing the resume this weekend.

Cheers,

I was Nangiggiles, even a year there with an SAE role would kick ass all about building the resume be pretty freaking amazing to move up this quick it tends to take more time. I guess all the Microsoft course work I been doing in my spare time is paying off big time! CHA CHING $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ :D
 
Nice!! Good luck. Linkedin is really great isn't it? I am not looking, but in the last few months I have had lots of recruiters call my office. I finally asked two how in the world they found me and they told me Linkedin. Funny how now recruiters look for you instead of the other way around.

Good luck - but I always take anything a recruiter says with a grain of salt. They are salespeople just like anyone else. I've had more than one dangle a great job in front of me only to tell me that "oh, that position got filled...but they might consider you for this same paying lateral move position we have as well.". They make commission no matter what job they place you in.
 
Trust recruiters for about as long as it would take you to kill them...they're almost exclusively shady ass pussies so...I hope it works out for you and negotiate hard!

Yankee I am disappointed no remark about me going to the dark side. LOL
 
too bad that 150k is canadian so it's like 8k here in america!

j/k good luck gurl! Don't forget the tit pics you promised me!!
 
good luck!
qt, we are going to cross paths some day- we were just at microsoft's offices last week and work with them a lot.

like someone said- take what a recruiter says with a grain of salt. they like to dangle higher salaries in front of you. also, with the job market being bad, companies can find people with experience to fill a job now and don't need to offer high salaries to someone so they can move up... just be prepared.

I am surprised we haven't crossed paths considering where my current company HQ is. Well I get what you are saying I think that it is actually a pay cut for an SAE with a company of Dell's size. They position to it to someone younger like myself and know I am going to be happy as hell about it.

I watched my old company do that to people all the time for the product funded heads. Then the funded heads find out how much the manufacture actually pays the company to have them and they feel screwed.

Last year when the economy is even worse I managed to get a job that stepped me up a level and raised my base but not my over all total earnings I kind of get screwed at that end but knew I would make less just based on the economic shit hole.
 
Meow!



But seriously, good luck QT!

She is my girl I know she is teasing me. I know I my spelling and grammar is not up to par that is why I have an inside rep to look over my emails before I send them out. You don’t need a BA in English to be successful in sales all you need is personality, people skills and a ton of perseverance.

I'm surprised that superqt4u2nv and Stilleto haven't crossed swords yet.
