The salary guides published each January are only as valuable as the people who contribute to them. Every response helps create a clearer picture of what professionals are earning, how businesses are hiring, and how the market is changing.

Alongside salaries, bonuses and benefits, we're asking:
- How confident are you in your sector over the next 12 months?
- Does your company have enough people to support growth?
- Should people who use AI to do better work be rewarded for it?
- How big a pay rise would it take for you to give up a day working from home?
- Are office attendance policies enforced in practice?

Your answers feed a benchmark that professionals use to judge their next career move and employers use to decide how they hire, keep and reward their people.

When was the last time your best hire came from somewhere unexpected? Not a referral or from a former colleague.

In real estate, relationships matter. They're often how opportunities are created and careers are built.

But when leadership hiring relies on the same networks, professional circles and sources year after year, it's worth asking a simple question:
How much of the talent market are you actually seeing?

Our latest article explores a recruitment blind spot affecting many leadership teams. It looks at why strong relationships remain essential, where their limitations begin, and why understanding the wider market has become an increasingly important advantage for employers seeking exceptional talent.

When you meet someone at a networking event, what's the first thing you ask?

If it's "What do you do?", you're probably asking the same question as everyone else.

In the latest episode of Macroscope: In Conversation, Eleanor Sands joins Caitlin MacNamee to discuss the relationships, conversations and connections that shape long term careers in real estate.

They explore why genuine curiosity is one of the most underrated networking skills in real estate. By taking the time to understand the person before the job title, you're far more likely to build meaningful connections that last.
