Hello everyone

I have been in the Customer success manager position for the last 1 and a half years and working in an IT company in Gujarat. I want to relocate to dubai. Does my experience help me to get a decent salary job as a CSM or Project manager in Dubai?

Thank you in advance.

I’m really discouraged. My after tax / after 401k contributions etc. take home pay is $6,500 monthly. I have $60,000 in savings / stocks for a down payment but even looking at a $550,000 home, my monthly payment would be about $3,400 from the calculators I’ve been using. Is that too high?

So discouraged that houses where I live are about 50% higher than what they were 2 years ago, and now interest rates are around 5.25% for my credit score. This is like a 1750 sq foot home

Is this fucking normal? Should I say something and will I get in trouble for looking at a colleagues file?

Is it just me or does it seem like everyone in FDD is in for the long long haul? I remember in audit everyone would talk about quitting or how they're only going to do audit for a few years to get experience and then leave. I'm not really seeing the same in TS. Just my observation.
