Any Amazon counsel or other FAANG attorneys willing to share how their comp review has worked? I’m really happy with my offer(lower base, really high signing bonus and decent RSUs) and was told their would be yearly comp reviews but wondering how that plays out the first few years...

I recently bought my 1st home in TX. I want to get into real estate and eventually own/rent out multiple homes. Are there any good recommendations/tips on books/articles/websites that others have used to get started?

I've read about HELOC and cash out refinance to get a 2nd home but articles are so scattered that it gets confusing which is better in terms of tax benefits and immediate costs, etc. Anything others have found helpful that summarized how to get started would be great!

Hi anyone working at Centric consulting, want to know about it

Anyone in Austin tomorrow for USGP?

Any tips to help stay focused? WFH has been difficult for me because it’s so hard to focus (harder than it is at the office). I know I’m so lucky to still have my job & work coming in, so I feel bad.

So someone I know asked HR about a boot policy. When he found out that there wasn’t one, but his boss said there was (who gave the guys $ for boots and the claimed it on his expense reimbursements as something else) the boss got mad at him for askingHR (and in trouble for the expense reimbursements) and then 2 days later laid off my friend. There appears to be no notice of bad performance and this person always was the first person on the job site ready to work. Thoughts?

Who do you think/ who are you rooting for to win the cup?

Personally I’m rooting for the Avalanche now that the Canes are out, but as long as the Rangers lose I’m happy.

Also, thanks SA for setting up this bowl!

What are you most excited about for the start of the season?

Your team not make it through to the conference finals? I know that feeling.

What moves are you hoping your team will make in the off-season?

Blockbuster trades, blockbuster signings... What are your thoughts about the off-season for your team?

For me (Canes fan), I love the Burns/Pacioretty/Kase pickups. Very upset to lose Niederreiter. Curious what we're going to do about Necas.

Any thoughts on post-season moves for your team? I'm personally really pissed that the Canes are letting Niederreiter talk to other teams. He's a huge part of the team's success and I'm stunned.
