- 62How to handle unexpected software subscription price hikes and slow support“They increased prices and charged us for every basic function. We tried to cancel our subscription early on, but apparently we’re locked into a 1-year contract.”
- 50Are professional certifications actually worth the money for a promotion?“Hey y'all! My friend recommended me Hubspot to get courses and certifications free of cost. Is this the right platform for me or should I look somewhere else?”
- 48Why do professional certification exams use subjective best answers?“Second time taking this, got 43 right the first time. None of the lead up quizzes covered the final exam topics, and half of the questions are filled with super jargony answer options I can’t tell what they are trying to get at.”

- 27How to handle too much work without project engineers or coordinators“When a client asks for something outside your current capacity, whether that's a full implementation while you're slammed, a migration you don't have someone free for, or a specialty build like custom automation or a messy data cleanup, what's the actual playbook?”
- 25Why does fixing AI mistakes take longer than doing it myself?“The AI transcription/summarization is mediocre at best compared to point solutions in that space. It's also in the small things, like why is there a creepy male voice that says "this meeting is being recorded" in every meeting out loud?”
- 25How to understand a confusing legacy software system you inherited“Just getting into HubSpot and starting to do agency work.”
- 22Why is project management just doing admin and updating trackers?“Anyone else fighting this battle? Or am I just yelling into the void?”
