Anyone else annoyed at “what’s the best xyz?” Questions? What’s best is what’s best for YOU - not someone else. I’m not talking about places like the wirecutter that actually research and provide product recommendations. I’m talking about “what’s the best use of my vacation time?” “What’s the best watch?” Etc etc. think for yourselves people!!

Other trusted opinions are often the best way to cultivate a list of where to start when trying to determine your own best things. There's a behavioral finance theory of choice overload, essentially having too many choices hinders your ability to make a choice. Getting suggestions from others gives you a better, more targeted, starting list. ✌️

Suggestions yes- BEST, no.

I have been at my company for a little less than 4 years now. I’ve had the third highest sales last year out of a team of 50 and consistently the highest outbound calls per week. They told me I can start WFH once I hit $1mil in profit, but then rescinded right before I hit the goal. They have also denied simpler request like time off, when I know they have approved this before for others. I feel super unappreciated, but the money is great. I’m not sure if I should look elsewhere and start over?

I’m a new associate to a T&E group, partner goes away on vacation and leaves me with a 706 to review and sign. The family is very wealthy. Decedent married for 60 years. Partner says it’s “just a DSUE election, decedent was ill for years, no assets.” Provides no records. Not even an admission the decedent owned a toothbrush. So I looked up the decedent’s home - it’s a joint asset. Partner was “surprised”, and still insists “no other assets”. I found file references to art and antiques.

Job offer extended but now some red flags… I was extended an offer today with a pay raise and great benefits. It’s in a field that interests me more but, now some red flags have come up. They voided my offer after asking for time off way in advance in December of this year & the pay that was discussed on the phone is different from my offer letter. I asked the recruiter to clarify and she said I must’ve not heard her correctly on the phone. I’m not having second thoughts… I was excited.
