You meet a good looking girl at the bar. She asks what you do. You're an AE.
Do you tell her…

“I waterboard interns while relentlessly pursuing some of the largest companies in the world for signatures on million dollar contracts. All while fighting off hordes of bloodthirsty SDRs begging for stage 2s. But, it’s no big deal really.
I would buy you all a drink but my contract got delayed because Bezos lost service in his dick missile to space.”

The dick missile looked like Dr. Evil's rocket ship btw.
That's seriously one of my favourite movie scenes ever...
Ryan told me to always tell women you work in finance so I tell them I'm a bank teller.
Yes!!
Just don't bring hobbits with you to the bar.
Want to get out of here? I have a demo at my place. It will only take 30 mins of your time.
“I have an advanced degree in pulling magic out of my ass. I won’t bore you with the details, but rest assured that it pays well enough that you’ll beg me to do whatever I want with yours.”
Magically delicious 🌈
Ssshh....they're listening....
Need to emphasize sales. If you just say IT you are dead in the water.
Coming from a girl... They don't give a shit what you do. They just want to hear that you have a nice fancy title AKA $$$. Say you're in tech sales and buy her a drink. Easy as that lol
lol true, if I'm asking a guy what he does for work it's because I'm trying to figure out if he's a broke ass...
I never gave a shit what they did, as long as they were ambitious about it. I make my own damned money, and I’ll be YOUR sugar momma thank you very much. Just keep that pool clean in your Speedo or I’ll start deducting from your allowance.
And less abs = less sugar.
I'm screaming. Lol exactly. I'm not trying to date a bum. As long as the man has his poop in a group, is ambitious, and is a fully functioning adult - were good.
So @Incognito, you're saying you're not into dad bods?

As a girl, I'd appreciate software more than tech sales. To me, tech sales could mean selling copiers with a fancy title disguise. Software on the other hand is a lot more transparent and can raise the question of 'what type of software...?' Whenever anyone has ever said 'tech sales' in my opinion, it seems like they are hiding what they actually sell...
I HATE talking about work at the bar. I've been trying to figure out a way out of the following:
-"Sales"
-"Oh what, kind of sales?"
-"Tech"
-"Oh what kind"
etc., etc.,
-"Sales"
-"Oh what, kind of sales?"
-"Tech"
-"Oh what kind"
etc., etc.,
Just use your LinkedIn title
I'm an Enterprise Account Executive.. at work and in the bedroom ;)
Oh so you work for Enterprise Rent a Car??
I tell her I've nearly earned enough commission on Bravado for Rolly *game face* LOL
But on a serious, i just say im a salesperson
“It’s my job to be best friends with tech execs. They come to me for advice and I help them.”
Hahahaha I love the I work in tech sales line because it's so broad plus I know someone is actually interested in my answer if they follow up with what type of tech?
interesting question and broaching the line between sales/ dating advice...probably spin more and offer a vague response and continue to qualify her/ make her qualify herself to me.
unless of course i think there'd be some benefit to me by telling her exactly what i do upon meeting her. i never thought it was relevant upon first meet. first date i tended to share.
i think this is a bullshit question we've been trained to ask to gauge people's status from afar, and am ultimately a fan of the ethos of fight club. also when i was on the scene in my 20s and early 30s talking about work with non-coworkers generally bored me. still would but i'm not on the scene anymore.
all this has to be done with the proper tone and light heartedness, but not giving up my frame to her by telling her what i do right away. relationships are a two way street for sure, but even when i met my wife she 'needed' to be near me more than i needed to be near her. that was intentional and i'd built a life that I'd be happy in by myself, a relationship was just an addition/ cherry on top.
now she's got rights to half my stuff and is a loving, caring wife and wonderful mother. she's also a spitfire brunette and funny as hell.
i was not some unrivaled swordsman and am generally gregarious and open. however i am very guarded about wealth, and will encourage my offspring to be.

So you’re a big Only Fans subscriber, huh.
no dude. half my stuff is on the line if i get caught with that crap. rots your brain and kills your drive
"I work in cybersecurity" and avoid mentioning the sales part
I usually just say I work in Cybersecurity and see how far she wants to peel back the onion on that.
Ditto... "I work in IT Security" -- "Oh are you a developer?" -- "No I'm a sales shmuck but I can talk the talk." I also have the version of what I do that I can explain to grandmas in 20 seconds.
Pretty sure I was hammered one time and told a girl that I was a pilot for the Goodyear Blimp. That worked about as well as someone saying they're in IT.
Everyone doesn't have to be corpbro on these replies (ya'll aint funny irl). mans is looking for some real advice haha
"Tech Sales" sounds so typical and douchey nowadays.
I say I work in sales. Then they ask what/where/type. Then I say I sell software. and we take it from there
