I’m looking to upcycle some ugly lamps, but I rent a small nyc apartment and don’t feel comfortable spray painting indoors. I don’t mind brush painting - any advice on where I can find appropriate paint? Any amazon recommendations? Thank you!

You could always create a makeshift paint booth with some cardboard and plastic sheeting. If you’d still rather brush it on, don’t you have any hardware stores nearby? No clue how you nyc people live. In the burbs, I either go to a Sherwin Williams store or my local big box. Make sure you get the right type of paint and apply it correctly for your application and material. I don’t think paint sells well on places like amazon because of limitations on color choices and finishes.

I was interviewed at EY UK on 7th Sep. It was quite smooth. Since then I haven't heard anything back from them though interviewer claimed SLA to get back with outcome of interview is 48 hours. On portal it still says I'm in hiring team phase. It was level 1 interview.

Should I take this delay as rejection?

hi all, currently have two offers:

1: EY - FDD, home city, very good $$ for FDD

2: PwC - post-merger integration, DDV team (essentially M&A Consulting) - bigger city, always been keen to move

Coming as a Senior in Audit, with recent FDD exposure (2 deals, obviously not much). I was looking for something more than just number crunching, wanting a mix of quant / quali / strategic work. M&A Advisory or a Corp Strategy role is where I'm looking to end up long term.

Thanks in advance!
