I am considering a Mazda Miata (MX-5). Are old models reliable, or should I get the new model. I have a preference for the hard top convertible. Does anyone have experience with this car?

Thankfully, that is not a problem for me.

I recently bought a NC miata with the PRHT. It’s reliable. Just check for the usual things , rust , leaks, etc. You can definitely get a ND2, but it is my 3rd car and didn’t want to spend on a new one.

Definitely test drive one for yourself and don’t buy off internet hype alone. Soft top is the way to go. The new NDs have 3 sub generations but they’re all fine. I personally would skip NC gen. NBs are pretty solid and so are NAs but you have no idea what kind of life they went thru. Personally I would go with new bc I’d know it’s history (aka brand new) and while still slow, noticeably faster than the other gens.

I'm the hiring mgr for designers in my org. I recently discovered pay band information given to me by the HR generalist I'm working with on hiring was outdated and updated bands had been released over the summer (prior to my hire date). The outdated information had led me to believe a prime candidate was out of range. Aside from incompetence, can anyone think of a reason why HR might have withheld information about the pay bands? I assume mgrs see the full monty when it comes to pay...right?

I got the impression this was a small but fast growing team on the west coast, and the work sounds like a combination of product, agile delivery, and roadmap dev. But, as an outsider to the firm, I’d be curious for EY-ers’ thoughts/perceptions on the practice. Is it generally well regarded? How is the practice leadership & culture? Is it truly a hot/growing market like my interviewers have portrayed it as?
