Marriott Vacation club - What are your thoughts about buying resale? It seems discounted but a lot of fees by Marriott. Over all seems good. Please advise.

MVC properties are good, but be aware of the rising maintenance fees every year - that is where they get you. I’ve owned for over 15 years, but the properties were a lot cheaper when I bought in. Also, when you buy resale, confirm that they will transfer all of the privileges that the original owner received. MVC sometimes doesn’t let you participate in certain programs like Destinations / Points if you don’t buy directly from them.

Hello Everyone,

I have received offer letter from Optum Global Solutions India recently and I am seriously considering joining it(I also have offers from Deloitte USI and Verizon).
My breakup annexure mentions 4 components apart from RRP and PF. Basic, HRA, Flexi, Special Allowance. Either the Special Allowance or the Flexi is not included in the CTC mentioned in offer letter. So I want to understand how the Flexi and Special Allowance are paid monthly. Can someone please help?

At what point do you draw the line on WLB? Working insane hours on a long/term project with what feels like no end in sight. It’s not sustainable but clearly expected. Could you get fired for drawing lines in the sand and saying (example) “come 8:30 every night I’m logging off”. That’s a 65 hour work week as-is but I currently am up until midnight working consistently. For context I’ve been rated as a strong performer consistently and am not new to the job so it’s not a lack of understanding.
