Go to nerdwallet, read reviews of the various refi companies, apply, see who gives you the best interest rates and terms.

I agree with Huge 1. You need to keep on top of the current rates and refi when the fees and interest difference lowers the payment substantially. Always pay more than the monthly, and up the % when it makes sense. Just stay the course and you’ll pay it off quicker

People with similar wages and backgrounds at different stages of their careers, yes.

SP1, did you go through them?

I just applied for consolidation. It lowers my monthly payment but I’ll be paying for longer. Hoping that as I move up, I’ll be able to go more/pay off quicker than I’m slated to. Can’t say much about refinancing.

I used Credible. I was referred so I got a free $500

I wanted to know how long does Course5i take to release an offer, I cleared all rounds last friday and was going to get an offer from HR early this week (by Monday evening or Tuesday) but didn’t get any offer till now.

I loved the role and I am still excited to join the organisation so mailed a follow up to the HR yesterday but did not get any response till now. I do not want to follow up for the next 1-2 days since I feel it would be too pushy from my end.
