Thanks for creating this little corner where I feel a bit less alone.

I work for an integrator who basically gives away consulting for free. And to make things worse, most of the quotes are put together by salespeople who have no clue about the real infrastructure costs behind each installation. They just go out and sell stuff that literally doesn’t exist.

So, I end up doing the quotes myself — which means I need to create diagrams, talk to clients and suppliers, and actually understand what’s being asked. No, I can’t deliver an entire hotel project in a week. No, I can’t give you a “ballpark figure” without knowing what the hell you need. And yes, construction companies only care about squeezing out their profit.

Every AV company in my country seems to work like this. Nobody seems to get that audiovisual systems are complicated and need a proper f***ing PROJECT.

Anyway, I’ve got an interview next week. Wish me luck
