Has anyone ever booked a flight to Havana before? JetBlue is asking for my reason of the visit. I’m visiting with friends- not sure what to say.

Support for the Cuban people

like

A1 is correct, Support for the Cuban People is the only category that allows you to go without a bunch of extra leg work (my understanding is that People to People used to work similarly but now requires some leg work)

like

You select people to people exchanges on the list. To be safe, keep a list of cultural activities you did (not just laying on the beach, you should do at least some tobacco farm tours or museum visits)

People to people exchanges. Or if you really want to roll the dice, pick exportation of information. :)

like

Ignore everything else except the "support for the Cuban people". All the other options essentially require proof or going with paid tourism guides/groups.

Cuban beaches, nature exploration, culture, cuisine,

Because that’s not a valid reason based on the rules for Americans

You have to have a valid reason to go from the us. That’s why they ask

Support of the Cuban people is the only correct answer here. Look up the rules & regulations - you should really have an itinerary saved that meets the requirements laid out by the govt.

Is it misleading to just look at Total Compensation from a $ dollar value/ Total Compensation seems to be much more subjective than base salary in terms of its value. Some factors might be:

RSUs granted on dollar value or by # of shares & stock price trends
Vesting schedule
strike price on ISOs & delta between strike price and real market value

For instance, most of value in Amazon's comp seems to be granted in years 3 & 4, but it's well known that most people last only 2 years max there.

Need advice. Have some credit card debt that I’ve been working to pay off. Have made progress but want to lower it quickly. We have dual income, with a house (~$300k in equity), 1 kid and 1 on the way. I’ve looked into debt consolidation via HELOC but also have ~$80k in vested equity in my company that I haven’t touched. Get equity refreshes every year. Would it be smarter to cash out $15k-$20k of that to pay debt vs. a HELOC at ~5% given that will still require mthly payments

Anyone quit consulting to join a well established VC firm? Would like to understand:
1. What level I could come in if I am a M in consulting. Will it be a smart move?
2. How much fund could I be managing per year? Is $500 M unrealistic?
3. Typically, with how many folks could I be splitting the fund? Read somewhere that you get 2% of the fund and you draw salary, office and travel expenses, legal fees and other operational cost out of this 2%

Contd.

Question on UK visa-
My partner will be traveling often to London, once a month for an year starting September. He is getting his visa through work (10 years, multiple entry, 6 months max stay, cost some $1000).

I have applied for standard tourist visa in the past and they are usually short term. It could be max 6 months, but they see your itinerary and allocate you few months around the itinerary

Is there a way to get 6 months multiple entry visa, if I were to join him once in a while.
