Has anyone heard of Lurie LLP I’m seriously interested in their private client service/wealth advisors

I have offer from S&P Global as a QA and ZS Associate as a Test Engineer.

Which one is better to join ?

I’m looking for recommendations for a bench top bandsaw. I’m willing to invest in a nicer one down the line, but right now I want to keep it under $300. I mostly see Powertec, Shop Fox, or Wen. There is a $375 Grizzly I’d consider if it’s way better than the others. Any thoughts?

The answers might vary across firms and I’d appreciate if you can specify which one you are referring to - TIA!

Hi

I have joined IBM and resigned within 50 days.
Reason: project I was allocated not good and I initially rejected project but they forcefully moved to the project.I have asked multiple times to replace the project after that I have resigned.
