Very specific! What draws you to real estate? How skilled are you at sales?

I got into real estate as a side gig but I ultimately felt it took up too much time to do outside of my role and I didn't want to leave tech. If you're good at it, it can be very fulfilling though! You have to be able to choose wisely and be really in the know about your local market, as well as be very educated about the real estate market/world in general. I'd suggest taking some courses and then going hard with industry journals and reports all throughout the week, as well as getting good at sniffing out a good property and neighborhoods to watch, finding where weaknesses are, etc. Finally, you have to know people. It's about pairing what someone really wants with something really worth having at a price that works for them but really speaks to the full value of what the property is. Hope that helps!

People in my team they don't come with me for breaks. (They blame the timings are different since they sit in crits but i don't think so because they have their own group of friends to go with)

Secondly, when my team members see me in cafeteria we expect they'll sit with us but people here are being rude they directly go and sit with their friends they don't call you to join. ( atleast they could have said they are accompanied)

Whatever happened to P5M at PwC?

Did tax ever reduce hours by the 1M or whatever the goal was?

Did associates and seniors tasks change to more consulting base vs compliance focused?

Did the hours reduced ever result in more work life balance with the capacity freed up or did volume of repetitive work just increase?

Did anyone that existed during that time feel the difference from the time invested?

Genuinely interested since it’s been a while since I worked there.
