Depends on the sales. I have a friend that does traditional bank loan sales. He sold out the bank’s loan capacity by April one year and had nothing to do the rest of the year and still made $450k TC. He moved to a bulge bracket after that so he could sell as much as he wanted since he always hit his numbers pretty early.

I’m most interested in tech/software sales!

They pay really well for the best performers not sure you’ll find WLB there tho

If you mean true sales - not "account management" in the consulting sense, WLB is fine. Since you're not really creating anything but pitch material, the work isn't deliverable based, it's networking, conversations, partner relationship building. You're never really not working - ABC - but you can dial it up and down. What was frustrating to me is that I was selling a thing - and it wasn't up to me what that thing did - so some years I blew away my numbers because the "thing" was hot in the market, and some years it was crickets regardless of my hustle.

Hi fishies! Considering an internal big 4 move from Western Europe to Dubai. Not sure about WLB and whether there’ll be enough growth and learning opportunities after reading some of the threads here. Anyone up for sharing their experience? Especially concerned about sexism / racism as a WOC…and whether moving back to Europe in a few years will be difficult because the ME experience won’t be considered valuable.

For context, my wife, once she’s done with maternity leave, will only work 25-30 hours a week. I know working in public and having a new born is probably going to be a lot to juggle, but I have to make it work.
