24k miles on my SQ5 and it’s telling me the brake pads needs to be replaced. Is this normal? Aren’t they supposed to last longer than that?

4300lb SUV so it's normal that it'll eat through brakes, especially the dust spitting high performance pads they put on the S Line stuff. I'd still expect something like that to go 30-35k on the fronts though. You dive bombing from stop light to stop light or riding the brake pedal? Audi dealership will most likely have you replace rotors at the same time.

Not really. That sounds about right for high performance brakes.

Go to an indie and get some OEM pads on there for cheaper than at the dealer

That’s definitely on the low side, but all depends on driving environment.

Brake pads can last a weekend or they can last 50k miles. Just depends how you drive it.

Also dealers are scumbags, so even if you have a few mm left they’ll just tell you they are low and need to be replaced.

Hi Folks,

My joining date is 1st August in @PwC India, I received another offer and asked HR to match it. She came back with another offer less than what I got some where else. I was waiting for revised offer letter but yet no luck. I called HR and now she is saying its still in process and waiting for approval from Business head. Should I wait or join other company on same date?
