Hi folks!

Currently interviewing with Mastercard data and services for the consultant role.
Wanted to enquire about the travel opportunities in this role, be it within India or outside. I personally enjoy travelling and have travelled quite a bit during my consultant stint previously. However, not sure of what the norm is within Mastercard.

Thanks!

Hello I just started my first job (I’m 22) and I need to set up a 401k for matching with my company. I’m really confused how this works because I want to try to hit the IRS maximum of $19,500 for Roth contributions this year. Maybe it’s too late in the year now, but it’s asking me to pick my desired contribution % per pay period, but I’m not sure how much to do because it says it’ll kick in 1-2 pay cycles and I don’t even know when the next pay check comes yet. Any tips would be great

Question on UK visa-
My partner will be traveling often to London, once a month for an year starting September. He is getting his visa through work (10 years, multiple entry, 6 months max stay, cost some $1000).

I have applied for standard tourist visa in the past and they are usually short term. It could be max 6 months, but they see your itinerary and allocate you few months around the itinerary

Is there a way to get 6 months multiple entry visa, if I were to join him once in a while.

Watching US salaries increase AGAIN and wondering why Canadian firms don’t have the same pressure to follow these raises. Is it the relatively small number of big firms? Is it that all the big firm managers work together to keep the market in line? Is it the lack of reporting in the Canadian legal press? I feel like we are all getting screwed.

Do we get early pay day, because Diwali? Is Talent that considerate? 🌝

I see Trump has gone with the “If I talk louder I must be right” strategy

Esper and Milley need to resign. They serve at the pleasure of the President, not to subvert his authority

If you think the media/left is actively against HCQ to spite trump, I have a proposal for you: if you take it for 3 weeks, let someone with COVID sneeze on you 3x/day, and you don’t end up getting sick, I’ll cast a vote for Trump in November. Any takers?
