I'm a new consultant (< 6 months) and I use an Android (phone is a few years old now) but was thinking of getting a new one. My question to you 🐠 is should I go with an iPhone/is it weird to not have an iPhone if you're a consultant or is it okay to stick with an Android? Never came across as an issue to me but was just curious if I'm the odd guy out

My confession is I have always had very competetive and hardworking close friends around me with whom I felt amazing to compete, do more and be the best. A few years back we all made to different countries, now I achieve far less than my potential and find it hard to be as efficient as before. How to fix this?

Hi everyone

Is it okay to try for more offers in the notice period? I am feeling like why I am doing this but at the same time want to best offers.

And also thinking how should I convey if I didn't join the company even after negotiating and asking for a counter offer based on another offer.

Please advise and suggest.

Thanks

Nothing infuriates me more than seeing cops pull people over at the beginning of rush hour on the Beltway. Out of all the times to do traffic stops, 4:15 on one of the nations busiest freeways is not it.

Help - how do I fight claims by scammer healthcare providers?

I recently went to 2 different providers.

Dentist, made appt via Zocdoc to see a dentist that was in network. Another dentist at the location saw me instead who was out of network. I have text evidence they said it would be covered before visit. Claim was denied - asking for ~500 dollars.

Saw a specialist who’s office staff verified my insurance would fully cover the claim. Get the claim, says they are out of network. Owe 600.
