Good morning everyone!
I am currently looking into switching careers and going into real estate. Does anyone have any advice/tips on the best way to start the process? Thank you!

If you want to be a successful realtor you need to go into it with a thorough marketing plan (and budget) and know all of your local market data points religiously. You’d also help yourself by finding a niche to focus on rather than branding yourself a generalist. E.g. don’t be the guy who says they work on buy side and sell side, short sales, land, and commercial transactions. You’ll never stand out and never have a competitive advantage over the many, many other realtors.

You’d also better be prepared to make little to no income for an extended amount of time while you get your business off the ground.

OP—what part of the real estate business? Investing? Being an agent? As another poster noted, this is a very large and diverse field.

I got an offer from Capgemini for Manager/C2 designation with a CTC of 24 LPA. I just wanted to know the roles and responsibilities at this designation.
Will it be a profile shift from technical to managerial position or is just a designation (as per HR) the actual job would be to lead/guide any team?
Thanks

Has anyone left healthcare and is now really happy? I’m an MSN, RN with 12 years hospital experience. I’m burned out and tired of making crap pay. I have an opportunity outside of healthcare that would pay more and challenge me in new ways that I haven’t experienced before. It’s a total shift that would really heal my work-life balance, job satisfaction and budget. My only fear is that I would not be using the license and degree that I worked so hard for. I would appreciate any input!!!!

So this goes both ways.
