Be like checking my phone every second waiting for this week’s points and spend to process so the Ambassador Status finally drops...

First year post my consulting exit and I’m dreading the inevitable dwindling of my points… is this what separation anxiety feels like

Have you seen the points from Marriott Megabonus promotion posted on your account? Nothing has posted for me.. stays or games...

My promo code on uber won't work. How many points can I ask for?

Anyone who recently used better mortgage willing to share their experiences (closing time, responsiveness, etc.)? They are giving me a 2.125% for a 15yr fixed (~$1000 on points) while my local lender is doing 2.875% (2.96% APR)

I recently purchased a new construction home, and it’s not expected to be finished until late October. The lender I’ve been working with has a 9 month rate lock for $1,600 at 3.125% (zero points). Should I lock the rate or is it not worth the extra money?

Which airline points have the best deal to get a ticket to Canada?

🐠 family, What is the best way to spend BA Avios points. Currently in US and unable to fly international for the near future.

Debating holding onto the safety net I was finally able to save up during the loan freeze or throwing half of it at SL's before payments resume. Open to thoughts fellow 🐠.

Inclination: hold onto it and just save at a significantly lower rate once 2022 rolls around.

Additional Data Points:
- Savings is just enough to fully cover 1 year of expenses in event of sudden job loss
- Cannot save at the same rate once payments resume
- Half my loans are at 6% interest which is a killer
- No NFTs

Alright guys and gals - this is the first time I’ve been delayed. Supposed to take off at 9:50pm but delayed till 1:25AM. How do I go about asking for points???

If a non medical/pharma company is looking to fill a sales position I’m very open to “career pivot” thank you in advance!

Hello Fishes,

I am in the negotiation phase as only 30 days left for me to join any organization. I want to get the best offer so that the HR gets impressed and convinced to offer the maximum budget.

Tech Stack: DevOps, Cloud, Microservices

YOE: 10 Yrs CCTC: 22LPA Holding Offer: 38 LPA ECTC: 50LPA(if possible)

Note: Please suggest me the data points required to convince the HR. I would really appreciate everyone's help and never forget the favor guys. HELP ME!

Thoughts on refi offer below?

Was offered a 3.625% with $13K points on my triplex. Monthly savings would be ~$750 so breakeven would be 1.5 yrs. Have owned this property for 4 years and am somewhat hesitant to roll over the $13k points into the balance because it would set me back on my equity.

Alternatively could pay no points and lower the rate slightly (4.125%), but I would end up paying more in interest and see less monthly savings ($400/mo). Current rate is 4.375%

What the hell are performance points 😑

Looking to move my passive non-US developed into active management (aka international ex-emerging markets). Any recommendations for a good mutual fund? Bonus points for Fidelity Fund Pick so I avoid loads...

I feel like we are already in the start of a recession, but don’t have a lot of solid metrics to point to. Just general individual points for specific companies. Just me, or do you sense it too?

Moving from North America to Europe soon - do my Amex points maintain their value (I will continue to have a corporate card) or is it better to use them while still here? Thanks!

Going on a trip with a couple of guys. With all the points I have I can easily get a hotel for free during our 3 night stay. Do I ask the friends to contribute anything? If so, what is fair?

Starting the SFO->Miami travel next week. Flights are gonna be brutal but hey at least I get an extra night of hotel points since I pretty much have to fly Sunday afternoon.

I attended more than 50 interviews in my whole career, and today I attended one of the worst interview ever. It was a telephonic interview. From the beginning his voice was breaking and the call had been dropped 2 times.I even hear the sound of vehicles on his background. When I told him, his voice was breaking, he behaved rudely.
In my mind I was like when this interview will stop.

Hi Fishes,

Current CTC: 10LPA

I have a colleague who quit her BigLaw job in NY for a BigLaw firm in LA. After relocating to LA and about a week before the start date, the new firm rescinded the offer for undisclosed reasons. It was not related to conflicts issues or anything with her background check. Those cleared before she moved to LA. Employees are at will, but are there promissory estoppel or other claims against this kind of behavior. Colleague not only left previous job as a mid-level but incurred debt while moving.

How much shall i ask for lead developer position in london if i am getting 75k outside london. I am a lead developer with 10+ exp.

I would like to share a new approach that I have been following recently that I am so happy about!

I am currently in an okay financial situation where I can alhamdoleAllah afford my expenses, but don’t have extra to give sadaqa (money for poor). So I started giving by helping people everyday, my goal is at least one person a day.
The help could be some time to mentor, help with CV, drive to stores.. etc

I thought I would share so if someone is looking for ways can benefit from this.

Best boutique consulting firm in Chicago for career pivoter?

Deloitte GPS folks - for the strategy & analytics practice would you recommend joining strategy or analytics alignment? I have a few years of data analyst experience but I am leaning towards the strategy side (based on the info the recruiter provided). Curious if there are benefits to joining one over the other, or if it’s just based on fit

I’m about to be promoted into an executive role. I’m late 30’s, happily married to a wonderful man—my career sponsor who is my Sr. Executive and our CIO has been talking to me about my upcoming promotion (I deserve it, everyone knows it’s coming). Here’s the thing though—my Sr. Exec is also my age and happily married. Normally I wouldn’t be attracted to him at all but I’m attracted to power and he wields a lot of it. I would never cross a line, but looking for advice from women who (cont)
