Has anyone converted a walk-in closet in your condo/apartment to an extra bathroom? If so, how much of a pain in the ass was it? How long did it take?

In a condo? Variance in difficulty is directly related to plumbing location, construction type, and HOA attitude.
- Friendly HOA, wood frame construction with 18’ interstitial/joist space, new bathroom shares wet wall with kitchen or existing bathroom = moderate work but not hard
- Grumpy HOA, concrete decks with open loft ceiling, new bathroom far from existing water lines = quite hard as you’ll need to have plumbers in your downstairs neighbors’ condo to add the toilet and shower drains as well as route water supply to toilet/shower/sink

What’s the floor construction? Wood joists or concrete?

We added a laundry room to our condo but it shared a wet wall with a bathroom and we were able to convert closet space. So it was a moderately easy lift. Needed to get HOA approval.

Yup. Toilets and shower much harder because they require a floor drain (or expensive uncommon alternatives). Washer wall drain easy tie in to sink waste in adjacent bathroom.

MBA with Total YOE - 7+, relevant YOE- 5.3 , Skills - CYBERSECURITY,GRC, Audit.

I have got two offers
1. Genpact - 27 CTC (24 fixed + 10% variable plus gratuity) Manager level
2. Airbus - 23 CTC + 5 L JB
I really wanted to work with Airbus but they are not budging from the offer of 23 even after I told them I have a better offer from Genpact with better position. HR said they will come back..

You think Airbus will come back with better offer?

Hello Fishes !!

Cctc - 6.8 LPA
YoE - 2 Years

I have accepted an offer for BA3 band for 10 LPA (46% hike). Is this a good offer or was I low balled ? Wanted to know as this is my first switch so I cannot judge if this is a good offer or not.
I had communicated my expected salary of 11 LPA (fixed) during negotiations for which HR said she would have to ask the concerned team. I then said that I am willing to negotiate and was offered 10. Was this wise or should I have waited ?
