Got 70K SPG points and am looking to trade for Hyatt points if anyone is interested. Post an offer ?

I hope we get a Milbank match bc I’m already planning how I’ll spend it.

$960 vs 60k chase points for a round trip flight to India?

I’m considering taking out a mortgage for a 500k 2BD-2BA condo in Arlington, VA. I have 130k in my savings account. Is it worth putting down 20% for the mortgage to avoid PMI or should I put down less? Monthly cost for the mortgage payment, taxes, insurance, HOA fees, etc is estimated to be about 3000 a month. I will have a roommate to cover half the monthly expenses.

$350k HHI, no debt/loans/no near term plans for kids, would be first time home owners. New job 5 mos ago. Our rent is pretty good ($2,250) but we’re eyeing some pricey houses (1m-1.2m) in a HCOL area. We can put down up to $325k, more if we wait until next year…Whaddayathink? Would you wait? Aim a little lower on house price? Put more/less down?

Will likely be moving to the city soon and am wondering if there is anything in particular that will increase my chances as I explore housing options. I’ll likely make about 60/70x the rent with no need for a guarantor. Is that something that will set me ahead of the competition?

Why do 403b have such I fees? I almost want to stop contributing all together or just minimum 6% to meet the match. Possibly just rely on the pension but what if it’s underfunded when I retire?

How do people in tech set up their banking? I have a primary bank account where my earnings have gone for the last 8 years. I always get promotions to open new bank accounts with other institutions for some cash reward. Is there any point to opening multiple accounts with diff banks? Kind of seems like a hassle but might be some advantage that I don’t know of

Hi all
I'm prepping for a final discussion with a fund and need some help with a few questions.

-tech infrastructure (data centres, dark fibre etc)

-industrials (cement, plastics etc) - as esg kicks in money will get pulled out but prospects will grow as the big infra boom kicks off
-agri commodity owners and producers

Can anyone advise - if I did not file taxes for 2019 and 2020 is there a way I can file without receiving a penalty? I just didn’t file them no great reason. Nothing complicated and I probably owe a few hundred each year in fed taxes. Nothing crazy.

With Etherum 2.0 coming curious if anyone has checked out investments in companies like RPL? They seem like a big play as people are underprepared for the shift to 2.0. Long term I see exchanges like Binance being the biggest facilitator of the mining pool but there may be a lag and a big play here

How much $ do you keep in your checking/ saving account?
I recently started investing, and have about $20K in ETFs, MFs. With that I still have $80K+ in my bank accounts which I slowly plan to move into my brokerage account. How fast or slow should I transfer these funds into my brokerage account?
Ive also been toying with the idea of buying a house which makes me question whether I should tie up more money into investments atm or not. Investment noob here, if it wasn’t obvious already 😅

What is the best-kept secret among realtors?

Is there an easy/efficient way to figure out how much you've contributed to vs earned in your Roth accounts? I started contributing >20 years ago to my employer's Roth 401k and have rolled it over to a Roth IRA and moved it between multiple custodians, e.g. Fidelity, Vanguard, UBS, Personal Capital, etc. It is unclear to me how much I contributed vs how much I earned by investing it.

The purpose of doing this is I want to use $10K of it, but want to prove that the $10K is from my contribution.

This week in homebuying horror stories: offered $60k (10%) over asking on a house. Got beat by a last minute all-cash offer from an out of state buyer who was buying sight-unseen.

This is the worst.

A friend has offers for Bain and BCG Dubai at the consultant level (joining just after his MBA) and he is confused on which one to take. Any thoughts to help him make a decision? Things he cares about are total compensation, career progression, mobility/ transfers to other offices and casework focus on tech (if any).

I need to divorce my barber. Is anyone in NYC that can recommend someone? I prefer a scissor cut and would like to not break the bank. Around $60 is my upper limit. Willing to go to Brooklyn or Hoboken/Jersey City (not limited to Manhattan).

Hii, looking for a Digital Marketing internship or opportunity for my sister-in-law.If anyone can share any leads or any referrals or any suggestions, will be much helpful.

Need advice: I was told that I was getting a raise and turns out the raise is only valid until July and they didn’t tell me. That’s unfair and wrong right?

My position in sales, growing existing accounts with my company, is being eliminated in October. I either take a bit of a pay cut to do something really similar but more stable on the service side, or move to new business (which is not attractive to me), or I find something new. Is it fair they are having me interview just to basically keep my position after 7 years of doing it successfully meeting targets? Or is it time for me to look elsewhere?

Hello! I am currently working as an SDR and I am thinking of transitioning into VA. Is there anyone on here who is or used to be a virtual assistant? Could you tell me a little bit about your day-to-day workload? Is there a way for someone who is in sales to transition to VA work?

Currently working at a large enterprise company and I have taken a role as the 1st AE at a startup expanding to the US. What would you look to accomplish within the first 60 days and how would you approach improving as your tenure grows?

I work in the Title IX area, and would love to hear from anyone who is working with students dealing with sexual or other kind of harassment between students, and how to improve that climate.

Need advice - I've been talking to a Partner contact at a big-4 firm where I REALLY want to work. She sent my info to the managing partner in my city, but I haven't heard anything for about 3 weeks. Been playing it cool because I know these things can take time, BUT, I just got let go from my current firm. I have til 12/15 to find a new job.

Do I tell her my timeline is now a month, or is telling them I'm getting fired going to tank my chances of getting the job?

Just regained SPG Plat. How long before Marriott status reflects the bump?

Are lyft business rewardcredits expiring?

What’s my best bet for a new credit card in 2023 to help with delta status? I have CsR right now but willing to give up and become a member on my husbands CsR. I researched the Amex delta platinum card and idk it didn’t seem that lucrative to help with status :(
Pre Covid, I always had platinum or Diamond and kept it through 2022 but I’m now going to be silver in 2023 sadly.

I have been searching for a travel card for months. I am a young guy who is looking to take advantage of credit and earn points at the same time. Cap One just released an interesting new premium travel card with a lot of seemingly good perks (Venture X). I also looked at the CSP and the Southwest Priority card. My girlfriends family has Southwest and swear by it, with companion pass being the differentiator. I am in the DMV area and have mostly flown Jet Blue or Southwest. Any thoughts on this?

If I book a Marriott on hotel tonight, will I still get platinum benefits? Points?

Traveling after a long-term local project. Trying to decide between points/status with Marriott and Hilton. Cont:

Newbie question: how do I use my eCertificate when booking online?

Need to book a rental car for new years in Tampa. What sites do you use to find the best rental deals?

I have the Chase Rapid Reward card and gave 90k points saved up on Southwest over the years but I’ve stopped flying with them (haven’t flown in general due to pandemic). Is there a way to transfer these points to another airline, or even use them on hotel bookings? Any recommendations on how I can best redeem these points?

Is Bonvoy Ambassador status worth it or is it a scam? I have the 100 nights but am $1100 away in dollars. Thanks in advance.

Marriot’s ambassador status is very useless….. tried to ask for “my 24”, was told to need to get approved by the hotel first… what’s difference of just me asking hotel to check in early?

Very new to consulting and only flew a week so don’t have any status or miles :( I have a family member traveling on an American flight and would love for them to get an upgrade if possible. I was wondering if anyone with a status is able to give a systemwide upgrade. I will very much appreciate it, and be grateful. Thank you people.
