Has anyone else seen ads for the musical “Shen Yun”, EVERYWHERE??? To date I have seen billboards, social media ads, posters, and received a mailer yesterday. Their media budget must be massive.

Anybody moved back to USI recently? I'm supposed to travel back soon and getting a bit anxious about the 14hr journey (haven't flown since the pandemic began). Would it be fair to ask Deloitte for business class instead of economy? I guess it would be easier to maintain social distancing in business, but would it even matter?

I’ve been having reoccurring nightmares about getting laid off :(

Roth vs Traditional 401k, thoughts?

Some companies just aren’t built to have in-house creative teams. I know because I landed at one.

For new hire who’s struggling, will going back to office actually makes things better and easier?

My wife and I are moving to Boston from overseas (we’re from Italy and we’ve recently won the diversity visa green card lottery).

We are looking to rent a 1BR starting in January, ideally for ~$3k/month. I’ll be working in the downtown area.

Any managed buildings recommendations within our budget? Also, what are some good brokers we could work with?

Thanks!
