Typically 40-50 per week with some exceptions at either end of the spectrum.

Any given day I'll be working on strategic planning for my portfolio of products, meeting with market teams to identify and define opportunities to sell my products, meeting with my colleagues across my sector and the firm to make sure we're not duplicating efforts, working with my product leads to make sure they're getting everything they need from me, and reporting up to my leadership on all of that.

Jk. In any given week, it's a mix of prospecting for clients, reviewing materials for client readiness, dealing with escalations both internal and external, and personal commitments to the firm. Usual ratio for these is 60:10:10:10 =90%. The last 10% is for unforeseen things that come up during the week.

Currently working as a process engineer in switzerland (south east). Salarys and Rent are Medium High. Current salary around 80k. Trying to switch to sales (same company). Had a talk with the teamleader. He talked about the job and told me that they were actually looking for a junior sales (and some product management responsibilities ). That they are looking for a junior isn't to bad, because i have no experience in sales (customer contact yes, but no sales) What salary can i expect?

I lived in tampa in my early 20s and am now in my late 30s and looking to move back. One of the reason I left is because I felt I had too much energy for the city for a single young professional, but now husband is from there and we have a kid but we are both social people. Do you guys find it easy to meet interesting people and has the city gotten any more fun?
