What do you enjoy most about being in your industry?
I enjoy the fact that I can relate it to other aspects of life. The industry uses a lot of sales, marketing, and data, but I can apply that to other areas of my life too.
Usually, you get to see trends firsthand in this industry. If things are slow, you get an idea that the market is going to start slowing down.
If you start seeing that prices are going up, you get an idea that it's going to happen everywhere. So, what I enjoy the most is having an insight into the market before most people do.
