Its a startup so of course there is going to be a risk. That being said ANYWHERE you choose to go or stay is a substantial risk. That’s our industry. I think the upside with Sage is significant. They have a pipeline, it’s their own developed products, the stock is strong and is projected to grow, you will gain experience in buy and bill and infusion of you don’t have it. And what if you can outperform the bonus plan. And what if 217 works the way they envision. Unlimited PTO. Nice car. Decent salary. Great benefits.
A lot of what ifs but it could be a cool place to be

I agree. There are lots of upsides and risks. I think the benefits of joining Sage are substantial. The only reservation I have is the quality of KAMs hired. Although some meet the requirements and have the background for the role, I have noticed a lot lack the necessary experience. I think their role is critical to Sage's success. This really makes me nervous. I'm in the second group of the hiring process. Because there is lots of time before then, I'm keeping my options open. I continue to apply to other companies and interview.

You’re right. Their role is critical. I think experience is overrated. But you could always reach out to your kam and see what you think.

Got my rejection today

Oh No! Its so hard. But, definitely knowing is better than hearing nothing. I interviewed for a great position not to long ago and went to a hiring event. And, although it wasn't nearly as put together as Sage....you know that when you are chosen to go, you have a good chance....never heard another word.....even after contacting the hiring manager directly and the recruiter. About 3 weeks now....so waiting is so awful. Keep your chin up, something good will happen for you.
 




Sp sorry to hear you were rejected. Been there done that. Was it a polite email or were you called? I’m hoping they keep it real and as great as the hiring event in handling those they are not choosing. You’ll knock me dead the next time!

Anyone who went to hiring events hear any follow up or get an offer yet?

I haven't received an offer....or rejection as of yet. Was told in Chicago I would know by the middle of this week. The longer it goes the worse. Could be getting an offer together for the other candidate and waiting for an acceptance or rejection. If I don't hear something by tomorrow I will assume I'm out.

I'm sorry to hear. Don't feel bad, keep your head up. In many instances, the process is rigged anyway. Some are hiring their friends and/or former colleagues. It is a requirement to bring two finalists for the final interview- all the while knowing that they were gonna pick their friend/colleague before even going to the interview.
 




I wouldn’t assume you’re out if you don’t here tomorrow. They said end of
Next week and possibly the following Bjc other candidates that couldn’t do hiring event that week are interviewing first week October. Could be later for some offers and some by end of this week.

I do believe everyone should be given a fair shot but having additional interviews next week actually puts those of us at a disadvantage that went to the hiring event, in a way, because the new interviews will be more fresh in their minds. Seems very drawn out already, now this! Ugh. Best of luck to everyone.
