I have if it comes up. But generally people don't really seem to care, so I leave it at that. A lot of people are happy redeeming their points for Amazon or whatever, and I don't see a ton of value in telling them it's a terrible redemption.

Do you think you and your significant other should have similar personalities?

On his end he sees it as he’s comfortable.

Anyone here work 2 fulltime jobs? I barely work for less than 10 hours a week at my current job (except for like 2.5 months when it gets really busy). I just got an offer for a new job that I accepted. I had my performance review today which went pretty well and I’m thinking to keep my current job as it barely requires any work. Has anyone done this? Would this impact me in any way?

I’m trying to decide between the two based on long term career prospects, both offer opportunity for NEP (not sure how realistic it is at either). Also not sure of overall earning potential down the road. Is the 40K now worth it or am I likely to make that up at the Am Law 100 firm in the future?
