Elaarum nanna pongal kondadinaela? I was at client site traveling and forgot about pongal :(

I’ve recently been offered a move to the UAE from the U.K. with my company and wanted to ask if anyone has any intel on salaries for proposal coordinators or proposal managers in Dubai, or what to expect in expat packages. For context I am degree qualified (architecture), have Project Management experience and 2.5 years in sales and my career spans just over 7 years.

Ladies, question for you all. Back when we were traveling, I was going to an auto client in the Midwest. I wore a shorter black Theory dress (think above the knee) and realized it was shorter so threw a cardigan over it. Team lead (male principal) made me go home and change. As far as I could tell, no client complaints about my dress. Any thoughts on whether this was appropriate? I did go home and change fwiw.

I’m on a new local project and actually being home during the week I am now around my roommates (a couple) that fights quite a bit and the fights are not healthy at all. I don’t how to handle this.

Hating life now... Got chewed out by the Client who basically hated everything we gave him to review. Wife complains I work too much, am gone all the time, and able to be a good dad. And now...

Has anyone also struggled to get on a project as a new hire? Doing all I can (I think) networking, volunteering, speaking to staffing manager etc but can't seem to get off the bench.

Life insurance makes up 8% of my revenue each year. I strongly believe in it, but hate the process. It’s so hard to get the client to understand the need. People that want it don’t qualify. Any help?

Will I ever be able to afford a home in SF? I made the terrible career decision of being born in 1997, and it seems just insurmountable to accumulate enough wealth (saving ~100k/year) as the boomers who’ve just sat on properties.

It’s fly home day. Do you mostly book the earlier possible flight out? The latest possible flight out? Or the flight most likely to upgrade you?

New project has me taking weekly redeyes (going west to east). Any tips? I'm afraid I'll be too tired on Mondays to function.
