Eta: just saw GA's post in another thread. ITA.  I think it's cool to have contestants chatting with us here so we can get a glimpse of their real  personalities.

She posted on here?

^yeah, she posted on her discussion thread #8, page 79. The thread is locked though because it has reached the maximum pages.

Some time ago there was a discussion about how Nick has changed ... and how fame changes people ... and well, I think I wrote enough on that subject ... but I've seen this article about Ryan Reynolds (he always reminds me of Nick) and I felt the sadness ... not because his life has changed, not because of the "price of fame" ... but because of the betrayal ... and you don't have to be famous to experience it ... and when it happens, it hurts ... and I don't know about him or anyone of you, but when it happened to me, it left a scar and a void.

People change ... we all do .. and the change itself it's not a bad thing ... sometimes our paths change so much that they don't go along anymore ... and that sucks ... and sometimes it's just inevitable ... and sometimes it's the best thing that can ever happen ...
whatever change is happening in Nick's life ... I hope "A change would do you good".

Doe anyone know FOR CERTAIN that Nick is still employed by Salesforce or is it just speculation
From what I remember Nick told Kaitlyn he quit his job to pursue her.

It's weird because if he does still work at Salesforce, he's taken two stints off to do the show, and he now has all this time to model and make appearances. LA one week, NYC the week after, then Vegas. I'm thinking he hasn't worked for SF very much since before Kaitlyn's season.

Yeah, there was that one IG commenter whose husband works at Salesforce that said Nick is no longer working there. I know Nick said something like "don't believe everything you hear", but that's not really a strong denial. If I were to guess, he's taking a mutually decided upon leave.

^^^ Yes. He said so with his own mouth and I heard it with my own ears (or read it with my own eyes)in an interview within the last 2 weeks. Will someone be able to find it for Jen. I'm sorry I cannot remember if it was Huffingtons podcast or Tokyo article. He is a computer sales executive, he is not working 9-5.

My understanding is that Nick's job is in sales and can easily be done remotely without "being in an office".

Nick had Salesforce link in his Twitter bio long time post show, so it's safe to say he was still employed even after Kaitlyn's season. He was seen with some colleagues and one (maybe his superior) even tweeted to him about his success. Then he changed his SM account name and got verified IG, finaly bringing out the link to his site/blog with his "motto", so the Salesforce connection disappeared and people assumed he quit to pursue modeling. But recently one commentator on his IG brought out the rumor that she heard from someone (her husband who works for SF) that Nick is no longer SF employee and Nick wrote back that she should not believe the rumor from a 2nd hand. There's a possibility his position is changed to "remote" and he isn't tied to the office anymore. IDK, but despite many speculations that he is seen out and about so much, Salesforce appears to still be present in his life and he is still in contact with some people from the office on SM, indicating that he keeps track how the company is doing.

P.S. Indeed, he spoke about it in one of his recent podcasts, maybe it was the LA one, thar he still has a daily job, he just didn't mention SF name.

As of today, his FB still says works at Salesforce. I agree with RHONDAM in one of his interviews, he said he still has a job. I also remember maybe a week or two ago, someone works at ZeroCater posted an IG "My AE's finally met Nick! big day at ZC" in an office setting so I assume he's still working.
He's only in Vegas for the weekend.

Nick did few podcasts around the time of the new Bachelor announcement in NYC, LA and in CHi. I might be wrong, but I think he mentioned his job in the LA one, when people were still waiting for his name to be announced for DWTS, so that was around the end of August. So I assume SF was his daily job during whole summer, he joked with a host (forgot the name, some blonde chick) that "stripping" (modeling) is just a side project and then he attended some MTV event. The links are in fans' thread many pages back... You can find it easier by searching it among @notarose posts.

Found it!! It was an exclusive interview with WetPaint.

Man that was hard to find—hats off to all of you who do this so often and so quickly!!

That said, in the short time since I've joined this board (3 months), I do not know how many times the status of Nick's employment at Salesforce has been questioned and answered but I'm beginning to wonder if it isn't just a game now!? I personally am going to ignore al those questions until such time as his employment situation with SF changes.  JMHO
