For me the Mclaren P1 is the best car in the world? Which is your favorite car and why?

Got the second moderna shot yesterday around 5pm est. All day, my body is in such pain, I am crying as I can’t get comfortable, and i have a fever. Took Tylenol but only helps moderately. Feels like the flu with the body pains. Grateful to get it but this feels awful rn. 37 female 🐠

This is my first job in a large corporate company, and I’m trying to gauge how long it normally takes to move from entry level to another internal position in the insurance industry. I have been applying internally for a year now and I am wondering if this is normal or if my company is just slow? I am a top performer, with great metrics, and I have some wonderful connections I’ve made who support me. I just can’t seem to move up. How long did it take you to move up? How many tries did it take?

What do you guys think about the upcoming midterms? Any feel for which way we're swinging?

ML vs MS? I already have a book. Curious how management is? And what the culture is like? I hate ML. Morgan Stanley seems more polished from the interview process. Thoughts on future? Grid changes?

Anyone here working at Epsilon ? Have an interview with them and was hoping to get some insider insights.

ZS 🐠, how often are you at the office vs client site? I’m curious because I’ve heard they don’t travel much

Any advice on how to handle an ECD in charge of your salary who says the only way to get a promotion or even a COL raise of any kind is through winning an award? Not consistently reliable and solid performance. Not keeping the client happy and profitable. “You either win an award, or all ya get is to keep your job.”
And yes, I’m aware leaving is always an option, but eager for any other advice how to navigate.

Hi Fishes,

Could someone help answer this.
I have a offer from CTS and I'm considering joining here but I've heard a lot of bad remarks regarding bench policy.

Now I'm worried whether i will get a project once I join here or will I get kicked out in 30 days if not.

Tech stack: Mulesoft

This is the first time I'm switching companies so I'm really worried about how life will be if I take the risk and join here.

Hi Fishes,

I will be joining Cognizant in January as a Sr Associate.

How are the projects here and will I get project once I join ?
As I dont want to be in PDP.

Should you gift your GF who has kids but not with you something for Mother’s Day? 👀 if yes what’s a good gift that’s not over involved ? (Not flowers or chocolates 🙄).

Hey all! My organization is looking to hire an Account Manager/Director/Customer Success person that will be managing junior consulting resources with clients. They will be placing them with those clients and then managing them. Are there any roles like this out there in the ecosystem or that maybe some of you are currently in? What kind of job title do you have if you are in a role like this? This is a brand new role for us and uncharted territory haha

Generally curious how many companies offer phone reimbursement? My last gig did not but the current one does. Legally it seems, all employers are required to do so if we use our phone in literally any capacity (video call, slack, teams, emails etc). How prevalent is the issue of not reimbursing phone dues?

Processing time for cpa license in MA?

Hi everyone! I’ve been working as a product manager in an internal consulting department at Kaiser Permanente a on software product that maps and automates clinical workflows. Although my title is a consultant, my role entails the usual responsibilities of a PM (prioritizing builds and features, identifying business requirements, mapping user journeys and stakeholder management). Does anyone have any advice on ways to break into tech or suggestions of companies to look into?

Since I am not getting calls because of notice period can Capgemini.release me in 30 days if i don't have much work in project?

What’s the most reliable bmw 3 series after the year 2000?

24k miles on my SQ5 and it’s telling me the brake pads needs to be replaced. Is this normal? Aren’t they supposed to last longer than that?

Hi folks. Looking to buy my first car. We looked at Mazda CX 5/50,Kia Sportage and Sorento and Hyundai Santa Fe. I love the new Sportage. Any downsides of owning Kia and can anyone share their exp.

Looking for a second car (we’re leaving NY for a lower cost of living). We already have alate model Q5. Budget is <= 35k. Prefer used/CPO. Kind of all over the place - considering ram 1500 crew cab, M240i, Volvo S60 T5. I love cars but haven’t been able to have one in ~5 years and now I want everything all at once. Open to any and all suggestions.

So, I’m considering buying a 987 GT4 as a Friday/weekend car.
Any owners out here wanting to share opinions? Things to be mindful of?
I feel like stick is the right option, despite the gearing ratio. Agree?
How is the seating position for a 5”11, 180 pound in the bucket seats?
Yes, I will be testing it the car, but just trying to gather preliminary feedback.

Any idea what will happen to the classic car market as a result of the war in the Ukraine? Are prices going to come down or will classic cars be considered “safe” investments during this time of crisis?

Obviously all speculation, just curious what others are anticipating or have experienced.

(I am fully aware that this is not the most pressing issue, so don’t jump on me for posing the question.)

General optimum age and mileage for buying a used car?

model 3 vs the model s? I drove both and actually like the handling of the 3 better. I live in a city so the 3 would be much easier to park and move around. Cargo space seems fine. And it’s so much cheaper. What am I missing? If I wasn’t that concerned about the $ would I be silly to go for the 3?

iX3 in 6 months vs i40 in 24 months?
All things equal except delivery time what would you do?
I am a fan of the i40 but 2 years of waiting? FML!

What’s your favorite truck on the market right now (full or mid)?
Finally decided to get a truck (for various reasons, I’ll spare you the details). I really like Tacomas, but I’m 6’3, 230lbs and it kind of feels too small/narrow when I’m sitting in it. Not sure I need a full size truck, although I would love one! TIA

Will be in the market for a car in a month or so - narrowed down to Mazda CX 50 Turbo but the BMW X3 is only around $5k more compared to the Mazda Turbo trim I liked. Torn between these 2, would really appreciate any advice/insight in making this decision in regards to longterm ownership, rate of depreciation and maintenance.

Who are worse: Altima drivers or Dodge Journey drivers?

How to best calculate the loss of value(diminished value)to my car due an accident? Insurance agency quoted a really lower amount.

Thoughts on buying an older Aston Martin? (mid-late 2000s DB9, V8 Vantage, etc.)

Has anyone made the move from a modern vehicle to buying something older and less practical due to their decreased commute or need for a vehicle due to covid? If so, what’d you get and are you happy with the decision?

The new X7 looks like a faakin’ Kia….

Thoughts on the S5 sport back? Better alternatives? Reviews? Hate it? Love it?

Can we consider cars from the 90s to be classics?

Sub question: what's your favorite 90s-era car? Extra points for pics.
