I’m starting to see mixed outcomes across schools and it’s messing with my head. Invites from some, silence from others I thought were similar. It makes me question how my profile is actually viewed. Did anyone else feel confused by inconsistent results?

Don’t over think it. Every school gets buried with qualified applicants so they have to pick between them the best they can and it can become arbitrary. It is a lot more of an art than a science

Seeking ideas for boosting morale in an office. What activities or rituals do you implement that are appreciated by your staff? We do lunch almost once a month and even that feels forced.

The team seems to open up when we play ice breaker questions but I’m losing my creativity with interesting questions. Looking for more ideas.

$530k HHI, $250k cash on hand, $1.2M investments/retirement. Plan to buy $800-900k house as our first home, but thinking of the best approach given rates today. My thinking is that we (i) put $200k+ down and get a 5/1 ARM. (ii) put everything we save moving forward toward paying down the principal (after maximizing retirement accounts). Should be able to do $100k per year. (iii) If rates go down below 4.5ish % for 15 year fixed, refinance and stop aggressive payment. Thoughts on this approach?
