Would recommend Bluenile or an online vendor. See in person if you must, but buy it from one of the online wholesalers.

For reference, I got a 1.75 carat/G/VVS2/round cut stone on a 1/5 carat pave band for probably about $5-10k less than what I would have paid in the store

Just go to jewelers row (Wabash) and wear your mask.

EM1, did you find the prices comparable? I’m looking on Blue Nile and James Allen and seems like I can get a good deal vs in person shopping

Graff and Harry Winston

I was at James and son recently. I was happy with it

Just went to Ethan Lord, they’re doing a great job

Side note but I saw yesterday in my sapphire reserve offers that they’re offering $1k back if you spend at least $3k at Kwiat

Idk anything about engagement rings but seems like a good deal

Clawback clause in current contract: been in role for over 2 yrs, it was an internal move that required relocation. Relocation was approved shortly after (over 2 yrs ago) but covid meant the actual move and start of my contract with new subsidiary was delayed, I was paid by the previous subsidiary meanwhile. I got small relocation package. Would internal move be subject to a buy-out/clawback clause if I leave now and if yes, is it time in role or time under new contract? Any experience? Thanks!

I was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 12. My family did not opt to put me on medication. I illegally discovered Adderall in college. Worked incredible. Got diagnosed after college & after having been fired from my first job. Passed the CPA exams on Adderall. Went off of it again. I do everything well at my job except for attention to detail within my excel files & emails. Will taking ADHD medication really fix this? Does anyone else have this issue and was it resolved by taking medication?

It’s hard to trust the partners/leadership when they want us to return to office as being better when we increase offshoring? Also, the pressure on billable hours when all that really matters is how much our fixed labor costs vs. how much we can bill (which is usually fixed fee or at least a range) and the fixed labor costs of offshoring is significantly cheaper so the hours don’t matter. Am I mistaken by this viewpoint?
