If you had to choose one day activity in San Diego would you do: a day trip to Tijuana or whale watching on a sailboat? Both would be booked with a small group tour.

Hey everyone- I need advice on pivoting from an MCO to hospitals. I am a young healthcare professional with an MHA. Prior to graduating, I had a solid year experience interning as an administrative consultant in a hospital and I loved the environment. However when the pandemic hit, I ended up in managed care/insurance side. I would like to step into an administrator or practice manager but Im afraid my lack of direct healthcare setting experience I would have to take a low paying role. Any tips?

If I have a connecting flight from domestic to international, how soon do I need to arrive for the first flight? Are their customs process I have to go through when boarding? Never traveled international before…

First domestic flight:
IAD -> DFW
Second international flight:
DFW -> ICN

Bought a couple years ago in north county San Diego but had to relocate to the Bay Area for my current job. Current mortgage at my old place is ~$3.5k all including principal/interest + escrow (insurance, property tax etc) with a 2.875% interest rate. Never been a landlord before and obviously not a great time to be selling so curious how much would I need to get in rent in order to make it worth it to me and not losing $$$?

Hey friends. My wife and I are looking to start investing in the market outside of our 401ks, hsa etc. We opened a Charles Schwab brokerage account and planning to transfer 2-3k/mo. We’re in our late 20s/early 30 and likely won’t need to touch the money for 10+ years. What should be our investment strategy? How should we allocate to what funds? Thinking of splitting evenly across large, mid, small caps, and growth, value funds using DCA.

Headed to Dreamforce - sitting in the plane… economy plus in Delta. The dude next to me is digging his booggers for the last half hour and using that filthy hand to touch stuff… ewww. He’s reading about PIO and raspberry pi etc. Not sure if his parents taught him a thing or two. Are techies in sfo this gross? I know techies are nerds but respected them for hygiene. This is at the next level for me. Also, he’s begun scratching himself… looks like a creature that hasn’t had a bath in a while… fk!!

What are some good restaurants in San Antonio? -Add the Name, type of cuisine, vibe, good and bad.

Stuck between two jobs. I have a job offer from a Big4 and also have an operations job offer from a pretty reputable bank. I've done research into consulting and I'm pretty hesitant on the chaos, WLB, and politics that goes into it. The operations role seems a lot more stable and lax, but not sure if l'm giving up a lot by playing it safe. The C job also pays about 15k more than the Ops job.
Any insight from current/former Cs or people who have been in similar situations?

Fishies, name drop boutique consulting firms that have offices in San Francisco Bay Area. Coming from industry with 1.5 YOE (Food&Ag R&D). Recent-ish MBA grad (Dec 2021) and PMP. I know I won’t make it into a Big 4 so hoping a smaller firm will consider me instead.

Will be heading to Dallas this week through DFW. Haven’t been there in nearly 10 years. Any recommendations for time in the airport (best food/drink/lounge)?

Howdy! What are some good design agencies (specifically brand identity or pack design) in Atlanta? Been in the industry for a few years, currently at a boutique shop in NYC but will be moving to ATL in 6 months to be closer to family. I love the industry but sadly not finding much…

Has anyone ever flown with Alaska Airlines out of ORD? Booking a trip to Seattle and they seem like my best option 🥴

Does anyone have advice for someone moving from a big US city (NYC) to a smaller one (like CLT, PDX, etc)? Grateful for the remote world (and the multitude of opportunities it may present) but my current gig is largely IRL. Ty!

Experienced food industry innovation experts needed for our NYC / Boston / Cincinnati / San Fran offices. DM to discuss possible referrals 👏

Does anyone feel like the stock market with 401k/IRA is a herd mentality of everyone contributing for people to take out money when they’re older similar to social security at this point? And those of us participating are minimizing gains vs. individual stocks because we’re waiting on basically more people to contribute to the funds every month and to stay in the funds?

I just don’t understand the downswings on these 401k funds so significantly if everyone is DCA someone is selling.

Am I wrong to be annoyed? Senior associate has been MIA all week and left the team to cover 4 major briefs/court deadlines on his cases (not mine) that he had not started. At first, he was only texting me saying he wasn’t coming in, which made me the middle person between him and the managing partner. I could tell by his texts he was struggling with something mentally, he was letting his personal life interfere with work, and lashing out. I started a MSJ response cont. in comments

Ethnically chinese ppl in the UK (not british) - do you feel a little ostracized working here?
I am not from china but of chinese heritage. Grew up in SEA. I moved to london for university. I am now working in a majority british company and while I have never experienced overt racism, I find it difficult to fit in with my english peers. If I am at lunch with a small group, I am always left out of the conversation. Feeling a little demoralised, like there is a social code i dont understand.

New to CSR. Walked up to The Club in CLT with my Priority Pass at 4:45 pm and was told there’s a 30 min wait. Typical? ☹️

Cheapest way to schedule ride from lower manhattan to JFK? Do Taxis actually charge the $52 official flat fee? Curb (taxi app) is a saying $65 but I am not sure if scheduling 27 hours in advance guarantees a ride.

Got aoffer from a local tech startup as a entry level AE-MSP. I am 22/M and been with my current company for only 2 months as an AE but hate everything about the job except the pay and W/L balance. I’m tired of working from home and wanted an opportunity to work at a team based social environment for some time, so was excited to hear about this offer. But their starting offer is a 40/40 split(80k OTE) which is almost a 40% pay cut. He said we could negotiate. Any advice on what to ask for?

To my black professionals that moved to the Bay from other regions eg NYC, Chi, DC, HTX, ATL etc, how are you guys finding the Bay area? Do you see yourself here long term? Pros and cons? Has the professional benefit/bump been worth it?
Also nice to know how long you’ve been here.

Is TCS retaining employees? And what about DCA, do anyone know the full form of it?

Hi friends. I’ve been a program manager for an online bar review course this past year. I will ask for a raise but it is rare that they will agree. So, I want to be offered another job to have the leverage to leave this current role if they don’t work with my needs and most likely I prefer to leave my job but just looking for a better opportunity first. If anyone has advice or knows of an open position please reach out. I’m happy to connect. DFW, current salary is $55K. Remote.

Big 4 accountants in ATL - which part of town do you live in? How far do you live away from the office? Especially for auditors.

Can anyone recommend a car service to send to pick up an elderly relative at LGA? I need someone really reliable who will track the flight and arrive when it lands. I’ve had two bad experiences with Carmel where they didn’t show up for reservations, so want to try someone different.
