If you carry 10-20 listings at a time your not going to be that stressed out, but you won\u2019t have the cash flow.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "hpbmp0p", "text": "It varies. At one point i was working 80+ hours per week and getting crushed under client expectations and manager comments just trying to stay employed. At another point with all that experience I switched to another firm and barely worked 40 hours weekly but the stress changed. It was more pressure to be right on fewer things and less to be doing a lot of things. I cant imagine the stress my bosses are under having to be the last person to make a decision with noone to go up the chain to and having everyone under them rely on their good decision making", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "hpcyj94", "text": "It is a pretty easy industry for the most part. Rich people are the nicest people and you spend  your time talking about their favorite things: the things they own.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "hpcyvix", "text": "Highly dependent on the type of organization. And how you define \u2018stressful\u2019. \n\nPE has longer days, more deals and a higher level of scrutiny. Private/family owned shops tend to be a little more lenient in my experience. Not at all too much.\n\nWish you the best! Good luck!", "replies": [], "depth": 1}]
