Is there a credit card that will give me trip delay insurance (ie. cover a night in hotel if weather causes a flight delay/cancellation) if I book a plane ticket for a friend and don’t travel with them?

I recently got a promotion in my company to work as a Junior CSR in Commercial Lines but I also got a job offer elsewhere to work in the entertainment insurance industry as an Associate. I got the RIBO license in January. The job offer pays more than my promotion but once I told my manager I had this offer she said they are willing to match that offer, however I wouldn’t see an increase in salary for a while. I don’t know what to do because both jobs sound really interesting. Any advice?

What issues will shape the landscape of insurance over the next 10 years?

16 weeks and so worried all of the stress I’m under is going to hurt the baby. Between work, my own scary (non-pregnancy) health stuff, the pandemic, my mom (who is a widow and lives alone, basically isolated by choice due to covid) is having health issues, and pressures to keep billable hours up, I’ve been having complete breakdowns. Today I spent almost the entire day crying and now have to make up the billable time this weekend. I really worry abt what effect this will have on the babe.

I find these discussions very interesting. At least from a European point of view, it's Democrats for the win (and yeah, Biden ist not the best candidate, but the lesser evil, of course). But then again, I guess we live in socialism.. I have to agree, it really sucks with everyone having health care, no one getting shot on streets or having to live on the streets...

Should I stay at the Sheraton Waikiki or Outrigger Reef? Similar price for comparable rooms.

Any hotel recommendations in Vermont? Hotel better or Airbnb?

Hi ladies. Looking for some advice. My lease is up soon (in a few weeks); and I’m considering just giving it up instead of renewing and moving in with my parents for a while. I’m in a relationship that i think is coming to an end (we don’t live together) and I’ve been toying with the idea of just taking 3-4 months to travel. Maybe explore Europe. Have to make the decision soon. Any advice or has anyone been thinking like this?

I have to go on a remote trip to a super old warehouse to comb through a storage container of documents this weekend last minute… there will be no wifi, no scanning, and no heat… I will not have access to mediocre hotel office until I go back into town (35+ minutes) and I don’t want to tote moldy wet documents around (yes I am bringing N95s and gloves) best phone apps for scanning? Someone pray for me.

I have been in logistics for 5 years now since I was 18. I started out lumping trucks -> order processor -> CSR -> Amazon trainer/lead -> and I made a huge jump into the corporate world now as a Logistics Operations Associate for one of the biggest bottling companies. I have no degree and I feel like I was low balled heavily. Where do I go from here career wise? I can't afford school I believe in a year I can file Fafsa solo. What is my next role after this? What should be my niche? Cont.

Looking for some feedback to gauge what I can expect (salary, signing bonus etc). For context I have close to 15 YOE, mostly Health IT program management / “trusted advisor” type of roles .. was out of consulting (in industry) for about 6 years and came back to consulting about a year ago. Currently at ~131k (Canadian). I feel like I’m being underpaid and at the same time I don’t know if I have any unique skills I bring since I’m not a clinician.

Can I change my email associated with CSR to get Lyft Pink and Grubhub Plus account updated? Like I had it on my previous email but need to create a new account with Grubhub. Anyone have any thoughts?

So my 18yo daughter who just started college texted me that she wants to do solo Europe travel in December and mom (my ex wife approved it). My daughter has traveled extensively in the US and abroad with me. However, she has never traveled even to a neighboring town in the US solo and is just learning what it means to live by herself as a freshman. I'm very concerned for her safety but if I put my foot down, my daughter will detest me.

Ok so I just got a sweet raise 😀 and I estimate I will be over the income limit for Roth IRA next year. This year my wife and I maxed Roth 401(k), Roth IRA, and mega backdoor Roth 401(k).

So my question is, can I do a backdoor Roth IRA next year if I'm already doing 401(k) and mega backdoor Roth 401(k)?

How do I ask for a raise or promotion? I came on to a newly developed HR team. Took on more responsibilities than originally described (which is great, I’m learning and growing) and I’ve been an essential contributor to improving our department and processes and exceed expectations. Do I need to list out everything? My boss already knows what I bring to the table. I don’t want to be ungrateful for the job I have, I just could potentially be making more.

11/27 Thread (BC):

I've heard so many people complaining because "every client support person suck".
What they don't see:
- We've been working non-stop for the past 6 hours or more.
- We're usually ridiculously underpaid.
- You're blaming us for something we have no control over.

Sorry. I just needed to let it out.

MBB em level role vs. director level tech (non FAANG) exit? Coming from b4, roughly 10 yoe. I know it’s probably a personal preference thing but hoping to get opinions here. Tech role is $190k base plus a 30% target bonus. MBB role i got a verbal offer without a comp figure yet but my understanding is it’s around there, maybe 10-20% higher (or maybe much higher depending on bonus).

Didn’t fully expect to get the MBB offer honestly, but both beat my 180/198 b4 comp. Now i’m torn.

Hello! Does anyone have insightful information on working off a base salary and commission?
