Wanted to open CSP with 80k offer and went to the branch to get the $95 fee waived. Yesterday they increased the offer to 100k points, but at the branch they told me that offer might only be online and that right now they only waive the fee for 80k points. Should I open on the branch and get 80k and no fee, or online 100k and pay the fee?

Anyone trying to conceive at 44-45? Unfortunately I did not freeze my eggs when I should have. A bit of history: due to childhood trauma when my ex husband at the time told me he didn’t want children, deep down I thought that maybe it would be best or was not meant to be. I concentrated on career, education, but then I changed my mind. My ex husband said “my way or the highway,” and we divorced. Funnily enough, he remarried and has a child now. I moved back to Europe and then - tbc

Anyone have any thoughts on working cross country from your firm? I’ve been offered a lateral role working remotely with a CA office with the understanding that if as a senior associate they’d be interested in considering me for partner I’d relocate and that I will travel to the office for 2 weeks a quarter to work with the team. Is this an awful idea? It seems like a dream come true for me but not sure if I’m screwing myself career wise.

I hate my job. Absolutely despise it. Wake up/go to sleep every day with a heavy dread for the future. Grind my teeth in my sleep. Gaining weight. Blood pressure spikes whenever my phone goes off. Becoming unable to hide my disdain for coworkers and clients on calls, emails, etc. Have a loving and supportive partner but feel like I can't relate to her at all because she enjoys her work. I don't want to go back to my post-graduation poverty but damn, at least I felt like I was a real person.

We are planning a trip to Thailand and Australia next year, and want to get points to pay for the flights. Problem is, we aren't sure if we will be flying Delta, United, or American yet.
