Scheduling all these interviews is harder than my actual job. I don’t know how the OE ppl on Reddit do it
Edit:
@ViShawn whats the name of those books? I can’t see/click it.
Not sure why they didn't show up.

Earlier I'm told to be empowered and make decisions and then I get emails questioning everything I do. This stupid training is supposed to kick-off tomorrow for the next 3 days. She hands dude over to me to coordinate the test. Him and I decide to use our environment since everyone has access via single sign on. Then I get an email saying "How did you come to the decision to use our environment?"
Why not use the host site? It's only one external user to temporarily add and we can easily pull up real life examples. In his training environment, it's not real examples. The other users are familiar with the company data, but not Qlik, so I felt I was easier to tie the topics together when they know the data points already. Generic ass sum of sales by salesperson may not connect. But whatever.
Thankful to be cruising into vacation right after and I may put some feelers out. I got a call from a recruiter today for a Qlik Developer, but I told him I wasn't interested at this time. Next week I might be.

Google slowing down hiring for next year. That means this opportunity I have in the pipeline might be the only one for some time 
. Looks like I pissed this one away too

Saw this on Quora.
A sales engineer has multiple responsibilities
A sales engineer has multiple responsibilities
- Set up pre-sales demos and proof on concepts for customers
- Work with customers to understand their needs and ensure product fit
- Help sales figure out product configuration to be sold to the customers
- Help customers setup and deploy products once sold
- Continue working with customers to ensure high satisfaction and discover any new solution opportunities
- Be the voice of the customer to engineering teams
I'm sitting here in training and I'm definitely getting out of here. Originally I felt I wanted to move from Qlik, but I want to work with it, just not at this company. I also want to do project management, but I don't want to search without my having obtained my PMP and my timeline to study for that is pushed back. LOL well I was always aiming for 4th quarter, but I got frustrated with work and though I was going to push that up.
Other Qlik roles have been coming through my email, so I'm thinking I could land something soon just to get away from here before I get too frustrated. The problem is leadership. They create so many roadblocks when you just want to do the work! I'm also used to being a contractor, so this whole "We are a family" type vibe may play into it as well.

So I wrapped up an interview recently. Didn't do very well, severely under prepared, y'all know me by now 
. I sat there reflecting on things afterwards and came to the conclusion that I don't think I really know how to study. I get the mechanics, can fake the motions, but I know I'm not doing it correctly or efficiently. I think it comes from getting straight Ds ( 
) in middle school honors, then being pulled from the classes prematurely. So I shifted from the proper challenge in honors to just having to fog a mirror to pass normal classes. But the time I took AP classes my patterns were already set - finish all my work at school and then do my own thing at home 
. I got another taste of that inability to study when I got Ds in those classes too. Get to college and it's more coasting by. Handful of failures, but ultimately not a lot of studying or practicing. Fast forward to now
So, epiphany had, now to do something with it. I have to put myself on a schedule since I operate best that way. I probably should come up with an action plan instead of free reign. I'm 100% my worst enemy on this.

Internal interview on Monday.
There is a specific example we are having a problem with, it's day one of this generic training and she writes in the chat "I have to drop off , but Rawtid now would be a good time to talk about the issue you were having".
Which means I'd have to share my screen to pull up the example and disrupt the class instead of addressing it one on one like I planned and will execute tomorrow. Please don't tell me when it's a good time to do my job.

Trying to schedule interviews when you're half heartedly looking is taxing.
Some of these roles might be a step up in title and responsibility, but i'd be making less. Not sure if it's worth it right now to make that kind of career move. I'm only 1 year in the tech industry, and pre-IPO companies are interested in me running their Comp function. I feel like the likelihood of me crashing & burning....or even just burning out would be 50/50.
But at the same time, my 5 year plan is to be the top HR exec at a tech start up. I'm thinking the smart thing is to pass, work another year here and then check what's out there.

meetings from now til 3:30
Today I ended an email with "The visuals are fine, the data is bad". I'm tired of being nice about it and there is no other way around it. You need to understand this bad data if you want to understand the visual and you'll never get a good visual out of bad data.

when i start working stateside I can see that I am going to have to stop just saying what I mean and meaning what I say, with no emotion. that's a habit I picked up in germany where being direct is appreciated.

this old lady doing today's training is terrible.
it's like she's learning the information as she tries to teach us.
I'ma just ask for all the supporting documents and templates after the meeting and play with them myself.
