I rent a house. I was airing out the house on a cold day and the door swung close, which cracked some of the glass insert. I brought it up to the landlord and he quoted me $4,000 to replace the door. Does that seem reasonable?

This isnt an expense that you, as the tenant, should pay. Ultimately you need to look to your state law and lease but id push back HARD on this expense.

Lmao. This is 100% the tenants fault for leaving the door open. No different than slamming the door and it broke.

$4k seems cheap to me. Usually is $6k/$7k

Maybe. I guess my question is more-so about repair vs replace. Looks like it has been repaired before and the glass insert comes out from the exterior.

Where do you live? I recently renovated my house and have the original front door (with stained glass) sitting in my garage. I kept it because someone told me it was worth $8k, but similar items seem to be listed for around $2k.

Is IB worth the sacrifice of WLB? Obvious pay is really good but are the prestige and pay worth it if you’re planning on only doing it for a couple years?

Currently working at an IRA with great WLB. Honestly I love my job, the firm, and people I work with.

Also doing MBA part time at a T15 school. Thinking about switching to IB but I’ve done my research and I think I would burn out of IB in two years but I might be ok with that for the opportunities after.
