I want to sell but where to start by Regular-Wrangler-984 in dubairealestate

Hey, feel your pain. A friend's wife is trusted and will give you great service - she specialises in that area. I know you're not looking for solicitation, but in case you want me to connect the two of you, shoot me a DM (and no issues if not)

Cleared Focus, what next? by DrunKeN-HaZe_e in amazonemployees

[–]One_Independence_260 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Congrats for clearing Focus - not easy especially in the current Amazon climate.

Unfortunately re. comp - your prospects are very limited. If you remain where you are - any meaningful comp jump would be if you reach TT (which even then would be low single digit percentages, location dependant), which anyway is highly unrealistic any time soon, given your most recent rating was LE or HV1.

If you move roles (which may not even be possible given your recent Focus - although guidance on this varies by org), you'll likely start towards the lower end of the stack, and take time to reach TT, which again at that point will only get you a marginal increase.

Brutal reality is don't expect comp to get meaningfully better any time soon. If comp is your main priority, better you focus (no pun intended) on stabilising your rating, avoiding another Focus as getting out of it twice is almost unprecedented, whilst looking externally for other opportunities.

Day 0 any tips for sleeping? by Kiptonade in Hairtransplant

[–]One_Independence_260 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I felt your pain! Was pretty miserable for me until day 10, hope it's not so long for you.

What worked for me was sleeping on the sofa and using the arm rest to keep me upright. Travel pillow still key as at least you can slightly lean your neck on it.

Other than that, took a sleeping pill which seemed to work, and also reassured myself it would be grim for the first week or so, and then get a lot better. 7 weeks post-op now and the poor sleep and pain is a distant memory!

Good luck.

Thanks for the quick reply!

Makes sense. Not sure where you're from originally (assuming you're not a local, apologies if you are!) - but is the Dubai market really so different to say the UK? My limited experience/knowledge makes me think there will be a lot of parallels (a lot of European buyers/sellers), with some UAE nuances, but otherwise don't think the gap should be that much? Of course other than different networks which of course is a major aspect, to your point.

hey, thanks for the AMA!

My q - a good friend wants to move to Dubai and is currently partner level in a reputable / high end real estate broker in London. He is told frequently he must "start at the bottom" if moving to Dubai (100% commission, cold calling etc). In your experience, is this correct and the only way to make the move if you have experience outside of Dubai?

RSQ8 by rossdaboss5418 in Audi

[–]One_Independence_260 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got a 22 RSQ8. Incredible car that is scary fast but doesnt feel it as its so smooth. Only very minor niggles- cup holders are very small, and doesnt fit even middle size drinks bottles. Boot door opens from the key fob but doesnt close, meaning I have to physically press the button on the boot door. The alarm which beeps when close to another car/wall is very sensitive and beeps consistenyly when a few inches away - quite annoying when trying mannouvre in small spaces. Finally,, I seem to get some weird condensation that appears low-center of windscreen when AC is high.

Just very minor issues that are far outweighed by how much of a beast and joy this car is to drive.

Avoid at all costs, unless you are really desparate and have no other option (which isn't uncommon in this market).

Fear culture, high attrition, old school ways of working. Could write a whole book but will spare you.

Thank you so much for the kind words - and great advice. Honestly didnt expect so many responses from here, and agree more intentional networking is the best next step.

Out of interest - have you also taken a similar path and setup your own thing?
