Trust your gut and intuition...if it feels like a dog & pony show with a lot of flash & money & sales pressure...it's most likely just that.

I've used salesforce and a bunch of the other "best" ones out there and I've found Cloze the best. syncs multiple accounts and businesses with all your social contacts. tracks opens and makes everything intuitive. and I use the pro version at only about 20 a month.

It goes against my intuition to use any type of borrowing when I have the cash in a money market account that I can use.

This is counter-intuitive to me.

It's a little counter intuitive, but you are never going to see success in direct mail, if you look for ways to narrow your audience.

That seems counter-intuitive that a bank would not like the Series designation - it should be protecting their asset (the property under mortgage until you pay it off) from any other properties you own that might be potentially involved in another lawsuit.

I'm eager to learn and have decent intuition.

This is reminding me of my old financial accounting classes where what is correct isn’t intuitive. 

I would also use my intuition if I were you.

Interestingly the tech layoffs that have occurred (AirBnB, Intuit, godaddy, lyft, uber) have largely impacted employees outside the Bay Area and not local employees as much.Also if you read the news the IPO market and the tech M&A markets are very strong to enable startups to exit.
