No. But… I did know of someone who worked for a big consulting firm, and was on a staff aug role for a big bank. And while on this role created a program that every quarter required him to enter in a predetermined code that if he didn’t it would stop working. After he quit, every quarter he’d charge this bank 50k to enter in this code, as a maintenance charge, and then reactive this program.

Personally, have no idea how he didn’t get sued. But he didn’t. And I believe he had this going at few “clients”.

Everyone seems to think that their task is more important than an actual closing. Advice?

Considering a jump from Chicago to New York. I truly love living in Chicago and how far this salary gets me but I definitely want to try to make it in New York.

The only problem is my significant other has a lot of negative opinions about New York. I ultimately want to return to DC but I feel like a few good years in New York would be really good for me. In terms of a place to live, where in Manhattan can I find a place that's similar to River North in Chicago?
