How do realtors handle their job while also having a family? I feel like I'm looking at houses all the time and don't hang out with my kids anymore.

It is good to create monthly goals, not all houses can be sold quickly, separate that in an excel sheet and concentrate on the easiest ones, optimize your time and respect the break.

When I was a first-time mom I went to homes with my twin daughters. It's not a good answer but it is a solution.

Keep fighting until you achieve economic fulfillment, your family will thank you for it.

Dedicate days of the week to your family only, that day you don't answer the phone, you don't show houses or get new clients, everything in life is balanced.

It's up to you to set those boundaries and make sure your kids are getting enough time with you. Try to stick to a schedule the best you can and make up for it when you can't.

There is a very successful agent who has always scheduled time for his family. He will tell clients that he is sorry, but he does not show properties during the times he has set aside. He also turns off his phone until his kids are in bed at night.

I don't know if anyone can answer this. But how much do most civil engineers make? There are so many conflicting reports about "overpaid consultants" and it's almost impossible to get an actual answer

I recently joined JPMc Blr in risk CCB and contrary to all the good reviews of wlb in JPMc my wlb is Shit. Just joined 45 days back and on most if the days I am working till 12 or 1 in the night. Most of the work that I do is creating 'urgent ' dashboards on excel. Since I do not get enough sleep, most of the days I have pain in my head. My work is only going to increase in future, already thinking to switch. Only problem is I will have to repay relocation money which is 2L. What should I do?

I am recently received an invite for a meeting with a partner and a HR person which means I am either going to be laidoff or put on a reduced schedule (60% time for 60% pay). I would rather being laidoff since I don’t want to still work 100% with 60% pay. How would I frame it if they put me on the reduced schedule? I don’t want to say “you have to fire me” since it might be counted as resignation and I won’t receive the severance package.

Hello Everyone,

I'm currently a civil design engineer, and trying to switch to real estate as a Program Manager. I have an interview in a week where they tell me I will have to work on ( for about 3-4 hours ) on an operational case study.

The job is located in Paris and the job is in French .

Does anyone here have any case studies in Real estate that they can share ? and if they're from France, that would be even better.

Thank you in advance !
