Going to Peru for 9 days. Booking with Amex points, would you suggest getting the gold travel insurance add on for $60 each person? All the Amex offers is for death or dismemberment.

Are you doing the Inca trail? Might be worth getting extra medical or repatriation coverage in case something does happen.

Good call thank you

Just make sure you read the terms. Most of those travel insurance/ medical insurance programs cover a lot less than they appear to.

Also helpful thank you

Wwyd if you were me: we have more cash than we need in savings account (not a ton more, but more than our usual emergency / buffer). Have $20k left on car loan at 3.5%. Normal I’d invest the extra cash and keep loans. But with markets and inflation as they are, should I just pay the loan off?

I'm currently working for a startup that has been unable to pay us for 2ish months while they are trying to secure investor funding.

We have patients enrolled so we agreed to help for a few weeks but not for this long. I don't want to burn bridges and I am currently interviewing elsewhere but any recommendations??

Hi Fishes,

I got an offer from PwC. The joining date that I had agreed from my side was 2 June. But I don't know that even in probation the NP is 90 days (it was mentioned in the release doc as 1 month but I didn't take that screenshot as proof). I told the whole issue to my recruiter and she sent a confirmation mail stating that she will revise my joining date by 90 days without issue. Is there any chance they can revoke the offer? I have put down my papers already.
