Bruno E. we actually get these types of questions a lot. I know the recruiting team has been hiring. Do you think we could do a webinar at one point for people in this channel? Kind of an "exclusive" that only people in this channel have access to - to hear from the recruiter and have a recruiter from Clay speak to what they look for in GTMs?

Hey Jad A. I was in your shoes: have been sitting at the intersection of marketing, growth (demand gen) and GTM in the past 8 years. My background is in Private Equity, tech, SaaS (US/Europe). Feel free to DM me - can jump on a quick call and share my experience and show what I’ve built so far.

Hi Jad A. Great resources above. One thing nobody's mentioned — the investment firm background is the real differentiator here, not the marketing experience. Most GTM Engineers are brilliant at building the machine but have no idea why the business made the strategic call that determined the brief. You've been sitting in rooms where those calls get made. Translate that into results — what grew, by how much, because of a system you built — and you're in a completely different conversation with recruiters

Hey Gordon E., it's mandatory for members to add their full names and a profile picture to their Slack profile (pets or AI-generated portraits also work). The community feels more intimate and less anonymous when one knows who they are engaging with so will be great if you can update your profile here. Thanks in advance! 🤝
