Hi all,
Can anyone please let me know, if data connectivity allowance will be paid default as a part of every month payslip or we have to claim it as a expense by showing proof every month?

The week of my wedding, my husband (PL SQL Developer 4 yoe) was laid off. That was a couple of weeks ago. Luckily I'm still bringing money in as a software engineer, but I'm looking for advice on how to support a partner who has been laid off. Ultimately I think we will be ok, but I know he's hurting / stressed / and could use a supportive partner.

I have a 2:00 p.m. flight to the East Coast tomorrow to visit family for Thanksgiving...what have I done to myself? Is anyone else traveling this week?

Hi Fishbowl Community,
I graduated in May 2022 with a Computer Science Degree and a Data Science Minor. I am still in the job market searching for engineering roles in tech. My interests are Software Engineering, Data Science, or Design focus engineering roles. I was hoping to learn some tips and tricks to help me with my search.

I have a few LPs to cover where my stories are not solid before my loop on Monday. Feeling a little demotivated because I felt I had more time to prepare. Don't plan on asking for extension.

How did you motivate yourself to study and prep for the LPs? Tips...advice on what worked, thanks!

I recently interviewed with Natwest and I got confirmation that they wanted to offer a role. Salary negotiations were started. However, now I got an email from the hiring manager that hiring for my role has been paused due to the ongoing cost of living crisis. He expects to resume the hiring for the role in Q1 '23 and would resume the process then. So is it the end? Honestly, I don't expect him to come back. But what do you think?

Looking to return to Big 4 as a consultant now that I have some experience; however, I’m not sure if the reason I’m not getting any interviews is because of covid or what’s on my resume/lack thereof. Has anyone gotten hired at Big 4 during this time and have any help or insight for me? Thanks!

Shot in the dark since it’s an expensive, niche, and quartz watch… but does anyone have a Breitling Emergency? I wouldn’t say I *need* the emergency beacon aspects of it since a pay for a satellite communicator, but as an outdoorsy guy I’m intrigued. $15K+ seems like a lot for a quartz watch even with the plb functionality but bonuses don’t spend themselves

Brand new to the bowl. Looking at getting my fiancé his first nicer watch as wedding gift when we get married next year. I’m trying to stick around $7k, but would go to $10k. Is it worth getting him something now or wait until I’m willing to spend more? I know absolutely nothing about watches. Recommendations?

Does a “late model” Explorer II weigh more than a DJ 41 fluted/jubilee? To the people that own an EX II and a Milgauss, which one do you like more?

Hi everyone. I’ve recently purchased a Rolex and looking to get it insured. Can anyone provide recs for good jewelry insurers? TIA

Alright this bowl has convinced me I need to buy a Rolex. Where do I begin? I know my brother got a Batman GMT after about a year at a jeweler he never purchased from a few years ago, but was he just lucky? Do I need a relationship with an AD in today’s market for a Sub or GMT? Based in Seattle but would prefer to buy in Oregon to avoid taxes

26 yr old M. I’m trying to get into watches more and have a couple that are <$300. Is it worth getting one now in $1k-$2.5k range or should I just wait a few more years and get one for ~$6k?

Looking to buy Rolex OP. Thoughts on new vs used? Is the additional ~2k worth it for new?

ISO woman’s watch for smaller wrists — under 2k-what would you buy?

Thoughts on the VC Royal Eagle? Seems crazy undervalued, you can get it for less than a DateJust! What am I missing here?

How do Rolex waitlists work with respect to different models? Like if an AD could let me have a Sub, Exp 1 or 2, DJ, GMT, etc I would honestly take whatever is available first. Are there lists for specific models or is it sort of just one big pool?

Bright blue or bright blue fluted motif for a datejust? The pictures of the bright blue fluted motif seem fire! But I just don’t know
