Hi Fam! I’m on the East Coast and looking for a tropical vacation spot for 5-6 days. Looking for recs! I’ve done Mexico a bunch so not keen on that and also looking for somewhere that doesn’t have strict covid requirements (we are all vaxxed). I have a ton of Marriott points to blow if that helps (over 400k).

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.

How will the US come out of covid19? As an outsider they seem at greater risk then others: expensive healthcare, no sick days, homeless people, people who wont stay home... Thoughts?

I’m going to be travelling in February, I would like to go Jamaica or Mexico, but I’m still undecided, does anybody have any all inclusive recommendations adults only hotels please ?

I’m a new associate to a T&E group, partner goes away on vacation and leaves me with a 706 to review and sign. The family is very wealthy. Decedent married for 60 years. Partner says it’s “just a DSUE election, decedent was ill for years, no assets.” Provides no records. Not even an admission the decedent owned a toothbrush. So I looked up the decedent’s home - it’s a joint asset. Partner was “surprised”, and still insists “no other assets”. I found file references to art and antiques.

I recently had an initial interview for a technical recruiter position. The guy on the phone stated that this is not a 9-5 job and long hours are expected.

From that conversation, I saw instant red flags. Any thoughts?

Googling ADHD today (I’m having a distracted day) and super frustrated because I’m realizing that I was likely misdiagnosed as depressed for years. I was taking SSRIs and dealing with awful side effects while I struggled for so long. I finally got an official diagnosis about 10 years ago but was never taught the symptoms or how to manage them. Found you tube channel ADDitutde magazine. Several really good presentations with recent developments Thought I’d share.
