one, right, versus in a group of 100 people where everything is going to be shallow, you&#8217;re not even going into getting into a deep conversation, you&#8217;re just going to, at some point, you find out that this has been a waste of time.\u201d &#8211; Ramzi Marjaba\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cComing from a very technical background, it&#8217;s a lot of just banging on stuff, not being worried to break things, and just figuring it out. And then you have that last little bit that is breaking things in front of customers and learning that I&#8217;m not going to say that thing again because that&#8217;s actually not how it works.\u201d &#8211; Joel Duffield<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThere&#8217;s a lot that happens outside of the demo. But I think it was more of the mundane things that don&#8217;t get talked about so much. That honestly can be you a big-time sink because they&#8217;re the normal day-to-day stuff, not the big flashy, we&#8217;re standing in front of an audience, doing our little song and dance.\u201d &#8211; Joel Duffield<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cEverybody loves the demos, right? And you become an engineer because you get to design stuff. But no one tells you that you have to write reports about the things that you&#8217;re designing.\u201d &#8211; Ramzi Marjaba<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIf you want to go in a certain direction, raise your hand, make that clear, keep talking about it, obviously not in an annoying way, but know where you want to go. And put that out there.\u201d &#8211; Joel Duffield<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cHaving a manager that seems closer to your job, and more in the day to day with you I think also has its benefits. It&#8217;s kind of cool to have both, you can have the one that has really great insight into the big picture where the company is going where they want to take it, and then also having more of the boots on the ground.\u201d &#8211; Joel Duffield<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe sooner you answer questions, the sooner you can close deals\u201d &#8211; Ramzi Marjaba<\/span><\/i><\/p><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI love the fast-paced, but it definitely takes some getting used to have, it&#8217;s a different way, you have to manage your time to be able to have that flex space in there, while also getting the bigger projects that you need done.\u201d &#8211; Joel
