My wife is in sales at Mercedes and she has been averaging $200k a year and growing YoY. She loves her job, however she works long days and barely gets time off.

We want to find a career that allows her to work remote or that at least gives her a better work life balance so that she can see her kids grow up. Should she get certifications to give her a shot at adtech?Too late?

Hey guys
I am desperately looking to buy an 3bhk apartment in Bangalore for last 3+ years now. Anyone bought flat recently and are you liking the quality and atmosphere surrounding? Please refer. Our highest preferences are:
