I always thought it was banks/trust companies.

I just wish there was a way to practice in this field without needing to be a salesman. I just want to do my job and not have to worry about where the work is coming from.

My LWD is 18th July and I chose vendor pickup for my assets(expected pickup is 10th July).
Is there any limitation or chances of facing issues on Not having laptop with me(for other exit clearances).
Also it would be great if someone can give guidance on exit clearances as I'm worried that I will miss out something.
TIA.
