Holy Shit! This was an insanely well planned way to steal money. Sharing this so you can be sure this never happens to you!

Real estate advice please! I bought a $400K house in a HCOL area (DMV) in April 2021 at 3.125% interest rate. Unexpectedly, I need to move to a LCOL area (small city in Pennsylvania) this summer 2023. I don’t have enough for a 20% down payment on next home… do I:
-Sell HCOL home and buy LCOL home with high interest rate
-Rent HCOL home and buy LCOL home with high interest rate and PMI (since <20% down payment)
-Rent HCOL home and rent in LCOL for a year or more before reassigning/buying

Question regarding class action lawsuits currently underway for RIVN, LCID, RBLX, BMBL - what is the action to take if you are an investor with losses that do not exceed a couple of thousand dollars?

Hello Sharks
Off topic: I am planning to buy or book a car by end of this quarter. I can spend upto 20 lacs max. So suggest me a good car.
Also, is it worth spending upto 20 lacs on a car? Why asking because constantly gets feedback from everyone includes friends, family and wife that live your life and don't think much if you can afford. I don't know if i can afford it not. But I am considering one time as well as running cost. My CTC is more than 35 LPA.

Went to an open house over the weekend and really loved the house, but this is earlier than we had planned to buy, so we are still working on saving. It sounds like the buyer wants to move quickly, so they would be willing to work with us. Wondering what people’s impression would be of the following type of offer: professional loan, so 0% down, and offer around $10k over asking in exchange for the seller covering closing costs (basically so that we roll them into mortgage)...cont

Anyone has idea about how SWFs compare to PE funds?

Been running on self-will for the duration of this lockdown. My reserves that I built up in this program are depleted. Thankfully I was able to attend a meeting this evening, and the topic was 3rd step. Funny how that happens. Good reminder that a life run on self-will can hardly be a success.

Need a few new office shirts; Charles Tyrwhitt still a solid option?

So to everyone staying in the newly rebranded DAT, I'm curious what you think our long-term exit ops will looks like. Under RA it was possible to leverage some work in ICRS or non-audit clients as "consulting work" but we're basically losing that bridge as far as I understand. I'd like to still think there's opportunities outside of just IT Audit waiting for me but have my doubts.

What are some top certifications to pursue beside the CISA for Someone in IT Audit? I’m thinking of going into Cyber in the next year....

Anyone know any good exit opportunities/career changes? This is my first job in internal audit and I’m not sure if I want to be pigeon holed into this.

I was on a call today, with some clients, with regards to some evidence I need, as part of my testing. The client lead I report to, is OOO for a few days, so she was not on the call. And I was the only one from PwC. I’m having meetings with these particular clients only in the context of my current control. One of them had been rude to me on a previous call and was quite passive aggressive on emails to me. But I ignored those instances and kept communications with him to a minimum. Contd..

Are the exit opportunities better in Internal Audit/Business Process than IT Audit? All I hear is how awful IT Audit is but don’t hear as much complaining from the business side
