if corporations are people, why m&a?

I'm early in my career, managed to save $30K to invest, and want to get my hands dirty with a rental property without too much risk (e.g. no HML/flipping). It sounds like that's a tall order in the NY/CT area given the prices, not to mention whether I'd be able to get a mortgage on anything below $100K, but I figure I'll give it a shot anyway. Any advice on what you might do in my position? Am I being crazy with this idea?

Anyone know the average annual rent increase for 1200 sqft 2 bedrooms? I’m renting and want to know what to expect in a few weeks

Need advice and help.

I have realized I grew up in a household where my dad did not treat my mom as an equal. He belittles her, is rude and convinced his way is the only way.

It is painful to say, but some of this shows up in me and in my relationship. I am starting to catch myself, and it to me seems to be more of a reaction than anythjng that is ever intentional.

Wondering if anyone has dealt with something similar, and any success in making changes besides therapy. Cont. in comments

How is Novo Nordisk in Bangalore? Quality of work, culture, work life balance, flexibility, other benefits apart from salary. Their leave policy is very good on paper. Practically, how easy is it to avail leaves in Novo? Are there onsite opportunities?

Sometimes I just want a job where I can work hard and produce good outputs but not have to manage people, politics, and all the accountability. Being in middle management makes work consume my life. But at the same time I like the money and there are times I like what I do (but the bad days seem to outnumber the good)

Delta logic: screens for the 8am Monday flight. No screens for the 5pm Thursday return. Thanks Obama

Our firm told everyone no bonuses this year due to the pandemic. However, people like myself with high utilization received a “bonus” in terms of a gift card. My director notified me of this, but the other day my boss was mentioning how no bonuses this year really sucks. I was told by the director to not mention it to anyone but I figured if anyone knew I got one it’d be my boss. I feel super uncomfortable now because do I essentially lie to my boss because I’m not supposed to talk about it.

Recommendations for a keyboard? I’m quite illiterate in this topic, and I ordered a random one off Amazon and it’s quite noisy, and not very ergonomic

Moving from a boutique (<30 employees, MBB competitor) to the strategy practice of a Big 4. Have only worked for boutiques in the past, so I’m expecting there to be some major differences in terms of working style.

What are the major differences and ‘watch outs’ you would point out to me? Could be anything from culture, to red tape, to compliance etc.

From a career advancement perspective. Would it be better for me to move into project management or to move to the change management practice?

Does MBB take summer interns pre-mba? I’m doing the 1-Y program at Kellogg but wanted to see if they would do an internship right before the program starts? Curious if anyone has done that or know of people who have?
