Depends. Up to 5 commercial transactions are doable. Up to 0 residential transactions seems to be a good number for me.

4-5 deals, assuming these are all core RE acquisition/financing deals that I’m staffed on at the term sheet stage. What I find really challenging is balancing my real real estate matters with various one-offs or more substantial requests that come in from other departments (corporate, bankruptcy, litigation, etc.).

It depends on timing and role.

As an associate, the real heavy lifting comes right after a contract is signed and diligence begins and then again before closing. I wouldn’t want to be in the middle of due diligence on more than 4-5 matters at a time, and that could be rough.

As a partner on deals, most of the work comes early on negotiating the deal, then again in spurts as you get ready to hard on your deposit and then again when you get ready to close. But the times in between are manageable. I really wouldn’t want to negotiate more than 3 contracts simultaneously.

So the answer might be as low as 3, but if your deals are at different stages, or you’re playing different roles on different deals, being on as many as 6-8 major deals could be manageable.

Depending on the deal, 3-5. I’ve done 7 or so during Q4 & it’s always miserable.

Does it matter if I don’t meet the specific job requirements when transferring H1B? The job posted requires CPA license but I haven’t got it. The employer is still willing to hire me. I know for PERM process, meeting minimum requirements is important but not sure if H1B have such requirement. I heard that for H1B as long as it’s a position requiring bachelors degree and specifically occupation that should be fine. But kinda worried about this.

Lately, I've been hearing a lot from my peers about how sales isn't a real profession.
I work at a tech startup and it mostly comprises developers. They can't stop emphasizing their importance in the food chain and I can't figure if I'm too humble or they're too arrogant.
This yapping comes from people I've known since college. I have successfully blocked all such negativity but wanted to know if anyone here has faced such scenarios.

Hello, first post here. Outside sales, merchant services/card processing. I’m primarily a welder but I work 4 10-hour shifts typically then I try sales the last three days. I’ve done it long enough to where I’m confident and comfortable going to new businesses, establishing some rapport with business owners. But it seems like a lot of businesses see this as a waste of time, even adding services and cutting costs. I guess either I’m looking for advice or considering not doing this anymore.
