Hello friends — not sure if this is the right space for this question but any advice helps. I am currently looking to move back across the country to my home. My current employer has a mix of remote and in office employees so I’m fairly confident I will be able to maintain my current position while switching over to a remote role. I have my yearly review this month so I am waiting to discuss with my leads until that review. In the meantime, my partner and I have been house hunting back home(1/2)

Hi fishes,
After joining, both laptop and desktop is sent. Is it done for everyone or for specific domain? And does this mean the flexibility of working from anywhere ceases to exist?

What’s the current WFH model @Merck ? Are they doing a hybrid schedule? How many days?

Can any one tell me what kind of projects does IBM have in its Whitefield office at bangalore.
Is IBM working in hybrid mode or mandating work from office ?

Any other first year associates feel like their firms don’t really appreciate how much COVID/WFH has stunted their development? I’ve been working at a biglaw firm for 5 months and don’t feel at all like a part of the team, and am extremely stressed out by the isolation of WFH most days. I’m not really sure that anyone at the firm realizes this is happening.

FIS India WFH extended till Dec 2022 ✌️

I started my new job completely remotely in June and when we go back to the office, it would be a 1.2 hour, 40-mile one way commute.. Would it be entitled of me to ask to come into the office 3x/week since by the time that we return to the office, I’ve already proven that I can work efficiently from home? I feel like it’s a much more sustainable option.

How are you all feeling about going into the holiday season while being remote? Missing the company holiday parties, or happy to be able to do your own thing?

Hello! Anyone have any experience with ADP WorkforceNow? We were about to sign with Paycom, and move away from ADP, (who only does our payroll right now, no other services), but it seems WFN has come a long way in the last year or so. Can anyone offer feedback? Appreciate it!

Hi Fishes,

I am currently undergoing a recruitment exercise for the role of Senior Principal, Research with the Peers & Practitioners team at Gartner India Research & Advisory Services. My current work exp is 5 years across 2 big 4s and a KPO in India. How much hike should I quote if I clear the interviews here? Presently my CTC is around early INR1000Kp.a. Also are they giving options of a permanent WFH post covid? If not can I work from some other office such as HYD, BLR instead of NCR?

Just received H4 EAD for my wife. Any suggestions around business ideas? or remote work opportunities? Please share any personal experiences, good ideas.

Firm announced flexible come and go as you see fit approach to coming back to office. Partner I work for said I need to be in office 4-5 days a week anyway. Thoughts?

Do they provide cab facility in Pune location ? How is the wfh policy? Do they reimburse internet charges?

How many days a week, if any, are your agencies expecting you to come into the office? (Either now or the near future)

How often do people actually go into the office? I’m about to get an offer as a CE and I live about 90 minutes from the office. Google will give me relocation but if I just need to go in 1-2 a week, I’d be open to stomaching the commute. Any info would be helpful!

It's that time...🦃

Found out today I was denied a potential job because the CEO and CFO had some argument with one of our partners and won’t deal with anyone from our firm. 😒

Talked to a recruiter today and he said he would give my resume to the company for the job position. It sounded like a cool job. How likely is it I’ll get a call for an interview?

Commercial real estate question. When a residential property will likely zone commercial in the coming years, do we, the owner, wait for a buyer/developer to contact us?

If I'm adding multiple people to purchase a property but not on the mortgage, when do they get added - do they need to already be on the purchase agreement? I heard it's easier to do upfront vs. adding them later. I've asked this question in a thread but didn't get a clear response. If someone could please help clarify - how do I add other people on the onset on buying a property? This is a new build, buying directly from the builder.

We just moved into a 50 year old house. We got the popcorn ceiling removed in the garage plus had the walls done. We didn’t use an official asbestos expert because of the price.

The horrible, dirty people that lived there before us left us a crappy mess. Hope we are not exposed, nor the neighbors.

The threat of nuclear bombs flying over cities should crash the real estate market

If I’m a Real Estate Agent buying my own property, can I negotiate the Buyers Agent commission to be 0% instead of being paid the buyers commission? Essentially converting what would be Income into Cost Savings for tax purposes?

Having trouble selling my (retired) dad's house. It needs a lot of work, but has great character. What if I buy it myself for a low, low price? Then I would be able to get a FHA 203k loan to do the updates. Rent it out or put it back on the market in the spring.

I'm under contract for a new build in progress that won't be done until much later this year. I fully expect interest rates will be higher than what I originally estimated. I may or may not try to lock in a good rate early, but I'm planning on renting it out and this throws a bit if a wrench in my margins. I can take it financially, but wondering, If I absolutely needed to get out of buying it, what recourse do I have? Or could I go ahead, and refinance later (who knows rates at that time...)?

I am looking to buy my first property soon - preferably new constructions (anything except condos) anywhere in Ontario/Canada. Any suggestions where I can turn to find new construction projects? I understand I need an agent. Until I find a good one, I am looking at the houses myself. Any suggestions where I can get information about new projects happening in the province?

I'm early in my career, managed to save $30K to invest, and want to get my hands dirty with a rental property without too much risk (e.g. no HML/flipping). It sounds like that's a tall order in the NY/CT area given the prices, not to mention whether I'd be able to get a mortgage on anything below $100K, but I figure I'll give it a shot anyway. Any advice on what you might do in my position? Am I being crazy with this idea?

From a financial standpoint in this market, which would be a better approach in Austin -

1. Buy a ~8-850k house that meets most of our ideal criteria (size, schools, interiors etc) to stay long term

2. Buy a ~5-550k house that’s not ideal with the plan of moving into an ideal home in 4-5 years when kid is ready for school.

How easy is it to get a mortgage for the second home?

Household income - 300k

Happy to add more details as needed

Thanks

Any good HELOC recommendations?

Ideally 90% LTV, minimal closing costs, desktop appraisal.

Better to aggressively pay off $15k in student loan debt and pay off by early next year or make the min $200 payment and save the rest for down payment/emergency funds?

Closing on a condo soon. Need to get 1 accent wall painted and one laundry bifold door installed. What’s an average cost to expect for this. I got quotes for 2000$, seems steep. Any recommendations for contractors in chicago area?

Looking to buy an investment property in Nashville. Can anyone here connect me to good realtors I can work with in the area? Trying to close in < 6 months.

Got an agent and she was useless for finding good tenants. Got frustrated and finally started finding leads myself and closing on one soon. I have signed a contract with the agent for paying one months rent as fee. How can i fight this or as he has been literally of zero value add? I will ofcourse ask nicely but wanted to see if i have any other options!

New strat folks.
1. Buy a condo complex.
2. Put the land under said condos into a land conservatorship (for taxes)
3. Rent condos at discounted rates (for taxes)
4. A small fee of the rent goes to a trust as a land conservation fee in perpetuity (for tax reasons)
5. Have another business generating revenue to offset this.
