Or is it because of My H1B visa status.

Planning a trip to Rome and Naples with day trips to Tivoli and Pompeii. Is 1 week enough? I feel like reading through 3/4 day Rome and 2 day Naples itineraries, the trip seems rushed. I have unlimited PTO but my SO is limited in time (but luckily he can work extra hrs and then use less PTO). I would say max we could do is 1.5 weeks but adding on 3-5 more days seems almost too much? Thoughts? For reference, I did Venice-Florence-Rome in a week and it seemed okay but it also wasn’t as planned out

1099 or w-2 ? I have been given the option though the company prefers w-2. It’s a day rate booking couple of months or more (no end date). I already have 1099 from similar company this year and am leaning towards 1099, but I don’t want to be difficult. I do take home office deduction and they are not supplying any equipment. Suggestions?

I'm a long time user of mvelopes budgeting software, and we just got a notice that they're shutting the platform down at the end of the year.

Looking for a recommendation for an "envelope based" replacement. They suggested Every Dollar, but it doesn't handle credit cards well.

Has anyone done a commute to NYC (2-3x per week)? SO is considering it and I’d appreciate any insights. TIA.

It always seemed like real estate was one of the safest things to invest in. Then the crash of ‘09 happened, and the market bounced back for a while. And now we’re in… whatever this is. It just seems surreal.

Thinking about taking a solo trip over Labor Day weekend! Where should I go? 🤔

If you were travelling to NYC for ONE day to have one amazing dinner at a restaurant, where would you go? No budget

Getting over heartbreak and having a full time job is torture lol. My boyfriend and I just broke up after almost a year of being together. It was such a beautiful relationship but ultimately he just didn’t love me. I love him so much. My mind knows that I deserve reciprocal love and I’m worthy, but I feel physically ill. My body hurts, my stomach is in knots, my head hurts. How is it that I have to mend a broken heart but also meet my billable hours lmao

Why do companies do this? I interviewed with a company. They loved my work and told me that I’m going to start the following week. They made me sign all of the onboarding papers and poof ghosted me! 🤦‍♀️ I feel so down right now! And I feel like I won’t be able to ever land a job!

Had on-site a month ago and recruiter has promised an update several times and not followed through. Anything I can do other than following up once a week? I think I’m the backup candidate but would be helpful to get more clarity

How soon after a final interview with a DM is ok to call and follow up on a job potential?

Girlfriend of 3 years cheated on me right before we were supposed to leave the state and move in together. We broke up about 4 months ago. I couldn’t demonize her, so I’m still struggling with processing it and idk what to do. I’ve been looking into therapy, but I can only do online which leaves me hesitant. Any advice would be appreciated.

I was approached on LinkedIn for an early career recruiting role in DFW, TX. I don't have direct experience, but I have the university experience/connections from working in career services. This is the first time I've considered work outside of higher education. I said my salary expectations are minimum $90k and that didn't seem to be an issue. Am I asking too little, too much? How can I know I'm getting the best salary and not just settling at the low end of the range?

I read this super interesting article about how big companies like Toyota are investing in social-emotional training for their employees and seeing massive benefits. I actually think this could be a whole separate class for students of all ages. Learning about conflict resolution, growing your own self-regulation skills...it's really important.

Anybody up to practice case interviews today or tomorrow? Preparing for a few first rounds and feeling very nervous!

Would you trade away Derrick Henry for Mike Williams? 12 team .5ppr league, really worried about Titans o line and Henry being past his prime at this point…he’s looked terrible the past two games

I just had the initial call with HR. I was told that Senior Analysts start at 56k and Business Operations Specialists start at 67k. I was told the next step was Junior Manager but they rarely started anyone at that level. I'm shocked. Is that accurate or are they trying to lower my expectations? I have an MBA and an MHA and 20 years military experience.

How do you count years of experience? Lets say you were a web master for 5 years. Then you transitioned into a proper UX role and did that for 5 years. Is that 10 years of experience or 5?

On a credit file, do multiple credit cards from the same issue count as multiple accounts or is that issuer counted as a single account regardless of how many cards

Have enough miles for one way business class or two way economy! Cathy Pacific JFK to BKK for December. Whats the good value for my points? I can buy a one way economy with cash (its reasonable)

For CSP/CSR, does the person getting referred get anything other than the public offer?

Has anyone tried to sell miles or points through one a site. I have a family member looking to do it and I had never looked into. Any experiences? Pros cons

I screwed up. I’m a newb and didn’t know how mileages work and my gold status w AA is about to expire. I travel weekly and idk whether I should fly w/o status or pay $400 to extend it. Thoughts? 😭

New to UR travel portal. I keep seeing that I will get 1.5x back here -- does that mean if I have 20,000 points originally, it becomes 30,000 points in the portal? (cont.)

Is CSR still worth it? I already used the complimentary Lyft membership? It just expired. and I already used the DoorDash benefit. Their fees are going up to $550

Any star alliance status match delta platinum?
