Don’t know what any of those words mean but sounds fun!!

I am a juror at le book connection event. I say depending on your openness. Some participants are so proud of themselves and won’t take any criticism and missing the big picture. Showcasing your “best work” is great, but you need to differentiate yourself from others.

Also as a juror, you make some cool connections w/ agents and production companies.

The part of the duty that’s a bit strange, is when you have to interact with vendors, which is in reality the reason for the award show part. The jury duty part is fairly simple.

Man, I hated it. But I needed to strenght my EB1 case one year and I said yes to any award show that I could think of.

How much have you saved from refinancing your student loan?

I'm a Canadian on the TN visa working in the US and planning on maxing my Roth IRA (6k) and will have enough left to max my 401k this year, but am not sure if I should just use a taxable account over 401k due to tax considerations when I move back to Canada (likely 1-2 years from now). Any thoughts here? I don't think I'll have enough RRSP room to move 401k>IRA>RRSP and I would prefer to not have to file US taxes every year in retirement for withdrawls if I left the 401k in the US.
