Hello Travel Bowl friends! A few months ago I asked for some recommendations for my San Diego trip and everything was SPOT ON. I come to you again asking for more… My wife and I will be traveling to Phoenix, AZ for the holidays and are looking for some good hiking spots, restaurants and activities to do in the area. We will be there for 5 days and are also renting a car! Thank you and I’m looking forward to your responses 😋

Do they actually enforce the 2 hour parking limit at golden gardens park? So I know whether to rush back to my car lmao

You did an interview and your interviewer apologized that the travel time 180minutes was much higher than 30minutes scheduled time for the interview and that It could have been done remotely, but she has to follow the process. I am still waiting for feedback though.

Is this just a humane demonstration?

Is anybody able to share salary ranges for the Big 4 corporate compliance teams? External hire - recent CTA - senior associate/assistant manager and then onwards.

I have just recently accepted a position as Director of Compliance at a Fin-Tech company here in Naples, FL.. My previous 17 YOE were strictly in the Financial industry. Does anyone know what the average salary is for this position? I have a sinking feeling that I accepted the role too quickly without comparing salaries. The position only pays $50k/year. That seems low to me.

Also please let me know what is the notice period in HashedIn.

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.

Also wondering when to book as prices for those flights seem to be skyrocketing.
