I live in SoCal and am planning to fly to India for a week this winter; plan to do another 7-10 day trip before flying back to SoCal. Flying with spouse and two young kids (6 and 2). Looking for recommendations. Given kids’ ages, we’re looking for places where we can mostly drive around (and admire scenic beauty) and maybe hike a little, as needed. Been to many places in south east Asia, so I was thinking maybe NZ/Australia but open to other ideas. Generally prefer Airbnbs to hotels. Thanks!

I would pick NZ over Australia if you can get a direct flight. The sights are more concentrated and you can pick an island. You can go to Auckland and you can drive to Rotaroa and Hobbiton.

Do you know how far Australia is from India…and then how far it is to get back to California? I feel like this trip is optimizing for most time possible on planes and airport layovers lol

7 days is not enough time to justify 40 hours of flying, especially with kids. I’m really confused how to answer this question bc this seems so common sense

Hi there, I had a question about 401k or Roth IRA. Should I put money into anyone of the two as an international student? I don’t see the point because I want to invest my money instead of saving it. Plus I don’t even have a permanent resident status so I don’t know if it makes sense saving it for retirement. On the other hand, the employer match and so on sounds good. So should I save it and take it out later or just invest it?

Interviewed for Deloitte S&A Tech Strategy SC and got a verbal offer for Consultant instead. I negotiated the offer to 120K salary and 10K signing bonus. I’m a boomerang with 4 years ERP consulting but this past year I’ve been doing DEI Consulting. Spoke with former colleagues who rejoined Deloitte and got a much higher offer for SC. How do I go back to the recruiter to negotiate further? I suggested that I’d probably sign but need time to think. Now I’d like to go back and request 140k salary.
