Is Tech Sales a promising career in Lebanon?

The domestic Lebanese sales market genuinely isn't where the opportunity is right now — a few thousand dollars a month ceiling on local roles isn't nothing, but it's not "top 1%" territory either. The real lever is staying physically in Beirut (cheap cost of living, no need to relocate) while working for companies that pay in USD from outside Lebanon. That arbitrage is doing a lot of the heavy lifting in your favor, almost independent of how good a salesperson you become.

Agree, Remote USD roles are a great opportunity if you can access them, but they shouldn’t become the benchmark we use to justify local salaries that don’t match the cost of living or the value of the work.
