TSA agent joked with me

I was carrying my PS5 in my carry on since its fragile and there's no way I am putting it in checked. First time travelling with PS5 so they take my bag aside and the TSA agent says "Did you not look at the signs outside? You cannot travel with a PS5 as of last month"

My heart dropped and I thought omg they are going to keep my PS5, then he said I'm just kidding you can take it.

How would you fix messing up your call opening?

So I was speaking with someone in finance about reducing their renewals cost by switching to us. He said he only receives overall invoices, doesn't know per unit price but he did me a big favor by giving me the IT manager number.

I call the IT manager and introduce myself by the company name, he realizes I'm going to sell him on something and immediately says "I'm on vacation, don't call me".

Do I call back and mention first that the Finance Manager gave me his number?

Current plan is to wait a day or two and then call again through my company landline since I'm assuming he's blocked my number or won't answer since he'll recognize it.

How to get someone on the phone when they prefer email?

I work at a CSP and sell software solutions, we're partnered with pretty much every big tech company ever. So the customers are certainly interested in the products but I currently have 2 hot leads who want to purchase and they're convinced on the pricing but these guys keep asking for information over email and every time I call they speak for maybe 10 seconds and say "I'm a little busy, let me email you what I need" and so it's taking weeks to close these deals.

Range Rover QC and finishing (interiors) is unmatched

I have a 22 Sport and I was sitting in my friend's 25 BMW X6, couldn't help but notice how "cheap" and unclassy the interiors have become in the BMW but whenever I sit in my Sport I admire all the leather through out, the armrest, color tones. Feels much more refined and a class above the germans, true English snobbery.

WTT: Tom Ford White Suede

Good scent, summery leather. I just have too many summer scents currently and trying to reduce to 2-3 only. I don't have a box or anything (I recently moved to Dubai from USA so I had to pack my whole life into 2 suitcases). Happy to send any pictures if you need to verify (I understand the nozzle is the key thing).

Let me know!

Mirra 1 is great for hot places

I bought a bunch of Mirra's in great condition due to some liquidation sale. Some wear on the lower back but otherwise really great condition. We used to have leather chairs in our office and coming into the office after a walk or client visit we used to be so sweaty and on top of that sitting on leather was not great. These mesh ventilated chairs are great for posture and ideal for the climate.

Big4 in Scandinavia

So I recently applied for and got Norwegian citizenship through my Dad. I'm wondering how its like working in the Big4 in Scandinavia, with my Norway passport I think I can work in any of those countries through some treaty. I grew up in America and got my degree in Oklahoma. My dad works in Oil and Gas and I know that's big in Norway but I cannot speak any Norwegian so I'm thinking American offices in Norway would be best for me. I have an Economics degree, bachelors so kind of strategy, business development, or even audit I guess. If you work in the Scandinavian offices, are there any americans there? Do yall speak English in the office? In the cities?

Subsidiary/Branch route for PR and later citizenship?

My father has a business in Dubai ( around 7.5M USD in revenue) that he has been running for the last 15 years. He wants me to join, learn, and takeover but working with him is a pain. He yells and is very unclear in what he wants yet expects perfect results. This is a very lean operation (only about 8 employees). What options do I have to open a subsidiary in another country, get PR, and then come back to Dubai when my father retires? I feel like this is currently a better option than what he suggested: I get a masters degree and work in USA for a while before I come back. I think I can learn a lot more by starting a business than paying $150K for an MBA.

So far my research points to Ireland as an option.

Why do Americans do not want to be addressed as Sir and Mr?

I work in a company and sometimes we have a call with head office in Dubai where some managers are American. I usually address all my seniors as sir but my manager in Dubai said "Just [His name]" when I called him sir. It's little un natural for me to address seniors like that so next time I called him "Mr. [His Name]" and he said "Hey man, it's just [His name]. You don't have to call me sir or mr".

Never experienced that somebody senior only want to be called by their name, sometimes in our office if you call client or senior with name we get reprimanded or have to correct ourself immediately.

Car dealerships or Luxury stores hiring?

I used to work in analytics creating dashboards and ad hoc analysis but honestly that is not for me, staring into a screen 8 hours with no interaction.

I'm very interested in Sales roles at car dealerships (Land Rover, Mercedes, Porsche, BMW) or luxury stores like Hermes, TUMI, Rimowa, YSL etc.

I can also take a million no's and approach the next person with the same enthusiasm as the first.

I have a real knack for sales and I can make conversation with anyone about anything. I'd love to try my hand at sales at places that get a lot of footfall. If you're someone that knows of places hiring and can make an introduction, I'd appreciate it a lot.

Consulting in Netherlands?

I graduated from the University of Oklahoma and studied abroad in the United Kingdom, while I really liked London it is outrageously expensive. A few friends have suggested Netherlands and from what I know stereotypically (cycling, holidays, coffee culture) I really liked what I heard. I was wondering how likely it is to get a job as a consultant or in business process optimization with an American degree? I've heard a lot of you guys speak English and I'm not cut out for McKinsey or anything like that but a lower tier consulting firm, something local?

Taking over my father's business. How to bring in some sales?

Like the title says, we are CSP for AWS, Azure, Huawei, and Alibaba as well as hardware partners for Apple, Lenovo, Dell, and HP. We also offer email security from SOPHOS and Mimecast. Lastly, we offer Copilot AI and Annual Maintenance Contracts for hardware and software support because we have an in-house team of Microsoft certified engineers. I'm wondering how to market this and bring in more customers, currently we have a good mix of SMEs, large corporations, and government institutions. I understand the technical aspects but I don't think I should be working in the technical side so I want to be on the sales side.

WTB: Porsche, Range Rover, Mercedes [Offering Finder's Fee]

I’m currently driving a 2021 Range Rover Sport (60k kms) and looking to upgrade. I'm in the market for a new or Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) luxury SUV or performance car and am actively hunting for a distress deal.

My Criteria:

  • Budget: Up to AED 400,000
  • Condition: New or CPO only
  • Requirements: Must have low mileage, Full Service History (FSH), and a valid agency warranty.

If you have a car that fits this bill and need a quick, hassle-free exit, or if you know of an off-market distress deal, let’s talk. I am a serious buyer and happy to pay a solid commission/finder's fee for a deal that makes sense.

Drop the make, model, year, exact mileage, and your asking price in the comments!

Thanks!

What’s a good car I can get for AED ~400,000

Hi,

Currently driving a 2022 Range Rover Sport that’s about to run out of warranty. I barely drive (have 52,000 kms since I bought this new). Looking to get something certified pre-owned or low mileage foreign/fancy car. What suggestions do you guys have? Before this I’ve had BMW X5 which was pretty good too but not a fan of the redesign.

Needs to be 4 door
