5.
Speaking jargon better than regular English.
6.
Having to stay out with one client until 3 a.m., even though you have to meet another client bright and early.

Having to jump through crazy hoops to finally close a deal.
8.
When your joke doesn’t land with the client...or anyone.
9.
Answering questions about parts of your company you know literally nothing about.
10.
Forgetting you have a meeting on a Friday night, and ducking out of a party to find the dial-in info.
11.
And when the client moves the meeting at the last minute — AGAIN.
