124 floors climbed, and the summit still far

Me in the company t-shirt, on the 124th floor of the Burj Khalifa, staring at the floors above — off-limits, of course. Well, allowed… but not to just anyone 😅.

“124 floors climbed… but the summit is still far. My current standard of living? It's like having a breathtaking view, while knowing that the luxury — the gold toilets, the coffee machine that actually makes cappuccinos — is 39 floors ”

Professional life is climbing a skyscraper with your corporate t-shirt as a shield. I look up at the unreachable floors the way you look at your next promotion: I see you… but you're still just a box on the org chart.

The road ahead? Longer than the traffic jam at the Toyota junction on a Friday at 7pm. If anyone has a magic shortcut… coffee's on me. (Well, the one from Diallo's. My budget is under review until the end of the )
