I am debating my first watch purchase. I want a watch that I can wear daily. I really like the Hamilton Khaki Field. It seems to have a respected following in this bowl. Which strap does everyone like? Or a suggestion for another watch in the same price range

No, this watch belongs on a strap.

Contrarian view: I would buy the watch on a bracelet (your option 3) and then source a NATO fabric strap (your option 1) from any of the million sellers of NATO straps, as well as a leather strap (but not a one-piece type like your option 2, I think that would make the watch wear really tall). I agree with others that 80% of the time I would wear this watch on a NATO, but if you ever feel like switching it up to steel having the OEM bracelet is well worth the 80 bucks. Leather strap is a good option to have at one point, but for me it wouldn’t be this strap.

I’ve never seen one on a metal bracelet. Heads up it wears big bc of the long lugs. I’d try it on before pulling the trigger.

Hey all, I'm approaching my 1yr anniversary in my current role, and I'm curious of what I should expect in terms of a raise.

I started at $57k base last year, with OTE of $70k

I received a small raise at the start of this year, along with a new comp plan so current numbers are $59k base and ~$80k OTE.

This role is in a life sciences vertical. SDRs in this vertical w/ a year of experience average 60-70k base.

I'd like to land at $65k, thoughts?

Booz Allen Hamilton 🐠:

I've asked a few questions for my sister, passing another one along.

Is there defined promotion criteria from LA to SA? Or does it depend on admin chain, org, and/or politics?

She is looking at LA positions now as a potential comeback kid, and while she was at BAH 10+ years ago, she's forgotten the details, though they'd likely be severely outdated even if she remembered.

TIA!

I’m seeing lots of posts about really bad losses. If you trade you’re going to lose money - hopefully not all the time, but many positions will be mistakes. But you need a process to find ideas and manage positions. Two books you should read are “The New Trading for a Livinng” and “The Laws of Trading.” Both look at psychology, process, and risk in different ways that can help you work out your own process. The next 18 months will be much harder than the last 18 - time to start learning.

Picked up a 1997 (my birthyear) Coke today! My first luxury watch as I’m celebrating a few milestones. I’ve wanted to buy a retail Pepsi for 2 years and just got tired of waiting.

I love the thinner aluminum bezel with the smaller font and the red on black. The Coke is perfectly casual. The condition is amazing although it’s 24 years old - never polished, caseback never opened. Eventually I’ll get a rubber strap too.

I’m dying to talk about it soo any advice, questions, accessories, etc?

Two “watches for consultants” from my personal collection. Aka watches for people who travel. These lesser known watches offer a ton of features, and come in under $500 each. Yes, they’re not Rolex/GS/Omega GMTs, and some will call the dials “too busy” and truthfully I won’t wear them as much as I used to now that I have automatic luxury pieces, but I think they’re great value and great wear if you’re worrying about coming off as too pretentious.
