I was “upgraded” to a room that has a hotel flood light outside that is directly pointed at my window in the Westin. I have woken up every hour because of it. What should I ask for besides a new room?

Yikes. That is more concerning than the light

Ask for a “downgrade"

funny

Ask the few 2x4 and drill bit. That window should NOT be there. I had a similar airbnb exp in OH. Fortunately had the eye shade. Get one and keep it for hotel / outside your home stay

Some old overhead transparencies; the lighting looks great for them!

Ask for blackout curtains

Quickly ask them whether they can switch off the light to avoid the flood situation 😀😀.

Is this a new Westin Prison line of hotels?

Hi team ,

I have started working from jul2019 and I have filed my tax return for 2020 and 2021 tax years.


However I note that there was withholding of some amount in 2017-2018 and 2019 tax years ( withholding from comission received from insurance commission from lic and United india)

I have not filed 2017, 2018, 2019 return as my total income was less than threshold

Is it possible to file return for 2017 , 2018, 2019( all r in refund) now without paying any penalty?

Is it misleading to just look at Total Compensation from a $ dollar value/ Total Compensation seems to be much more subjective than base salary in terms of its value. Some factors might be:

RSUs granted on dollar value or by # of shares & stock price trends
Vesting schedule
strike price on ISOs & delta between strike price and real market value

For instance, most of value in Amazon's comp seems to be granted in years 3 & 4, but it's well known that most people last only 2 years max there.
