Look at the churn subreddits. People do it all the time! It's more worth it if you're able to do more than 1x at a time since they tie up your cash for a while and you can stagger or offset them so when one "vests" you can start on another while your second one waits til the bonus conditions have been met

I haven't, but have intended to dozens of times.

One thing to watch out for is a minimum balance requirement for ~60-90 days or so. Might not be a financial burden but perhaps a pain in the ass (but worth $600 in my book)

Wondering what people think about my situation. I’ve been offered a role with a company. The job description didn’t mention college degree as a requirement. On my CV I have a section listed as “Education” and under it I have “Business Studies” with the university name and the 3 years that I attended the course (2.5 to be exact). It’s a 4 year degree and under this I have my High School equivalent with the years I attended there. The education wasn’t mentioned in the interviews. Continued below.

My company covers in depth results each week, including meetings set/attended, wins, revenue, retention etc. I feel as if evaluating in such depth is detrimental to the psyche, as you never get to “ride the high.” In addition, some weeks are simply slower than others, and it’s not always representative of what the results at the end of the period or quarter will be. Is this not a big deal, and I’m I placing too much importance on it? Or is it beneficial to review results less frequently?
