My dream house has a great backyard, but the neighbors have a trampoline that looks directly into my windows. Can this be fixed with strategic landscaping, or is it a privacy nightmare waiting to happen?

I have 2.5 years of experience as a BI consultant primarily working with SQL and Power BI. I feel a little underpaid while currently making $75k. All of my performance reviews have been positive and I have been the lead/only BI developer on two of our largest and most public projects this year. Any thoughts on what I could ask for at end of year reviews for a salary increase?

if youve been talking to someone for 3 months and u catch them in a lie by stalking their friend on IG, should you call them out or is that too crazy

I can't wait for things to get back to normal. For my kids to go to school. To see my family again. To travel overseas and explore. To not worry if I accidentally bump into someone. I feel like my kids are missing out on the magic of school (they were in kg and 1st grade when the initial shutdown started). I didn't get to see my nephew and niece since they were born, haven't seen my sister in 5 years (our family reunion got cancelled this summer). That is all. Hoping for a better year.

What was the maximum RRP that we could expect from Optum for an expectational performance?

Does anyone have any good self created templates they’re willing to share for use in the context of stock option planning?

Hi all,
I just moved here so this might be a dumb question so please don’t judge. Why does my laundry smell like pee and how can I fix it? I used a common washer and dryer in my building. Is it because of that? Is it mold? Is it the water? I air dry my workout leggings and they all smell really weird and I don’t know what to do 😔

I've been working at my current job for about a year now and I'm finally beginning to understand how the company works.

It's not easy, though. It's a small company, which means there are only a few of us in each department. There is no dedicated training team, so we all have to learn new things on the fly through trial-and-error or by asking our coworkers for help. The management team seems to be pretty hands off when it comes to project management and project direction, so it's up to us engineers to figure out how we want to spend our time and who we want to work with.

Can one pay for cabin upgrades with refund credits?

Mental Health, inherited or choice? I am finding myself struggling with processing that ADD, Depression, or Bipolar is a chemical imbalance in the brain vs. behavioral therapy. The best analogy given to me is you would treat diabetics with insulin so why not consider prescriptions to help mental health. 2020 has thrown more at me than I’m able to handle. Has anyone here noticed a significant improvement after a prescription to help psych issues?

Hi, how long does it take for HR to release offer letter post HR round?

Any recommendations on a good water softener system (4 people)?

How do you find lenders? Should I pick a realtor first?

What are some of the things that were a MUST when buying your first home and what were some things that you were more flexible with and why? I’m having a discussion with my partner about what we absolutely need and what can be worked on later. Also, any regrets?

Buying our first home and from a friend, we are both not using realtor. How do you got about doing this, does some have a playbook I can use?

Seeking some advice for home buying. Went under contract on a new construction back in March, was originally supposed to be ready in August but has been delayed until November. I’ve began getting quotes for mortgage rates through lenders and the best I’ve seen so far is 5.75% (excellent credit, dp at 10%) at a 60 day lock. Debating if I should test my luck with the market to see if rates will drop or if I should go ahead and lock my rate in before Rates increase even more

Has anyone taken a loan from their 401K for a down payment? Yay or nay on this strategy?

Has anyone dealt with financing a non-warrantable condo? About to drop out of the deal because I can’t find a lender. My finances are fully in order, issue is the building.

I’m really discouraged. My after tax / after 401k contributions etc. take home pay is $6,500 monthly. I have $60,000 in savings / stocks for a down payment but even looking at a $550,000 home, my monthly payment would be about $3,400 from the calculators I’ve been using. Is that too high?

So discouraged that houses where I live are about 50% higher than what they were 2 years ago, and now interest rates are around 5.25% for my credit score. This is like a 1750 sq foot home

Is buying fancy condos with high HOA(>$1k) worth it?

What's the one thing for you that turns a house into a home? Or one thing that can always make a house feel homey?

Looking to purchase my first home…yes at 47 years old…single family for me and my 4 daughters. Need a good mortgage with a low interest and a good program for teachers. In Northern California

When do you know you've toured enough houses and should pick one from the list you've got? I've seen probably 15-20 homes, and put in one offer. How many homes should you tour minimum, and how many offers did you put in before you closed? I don't want to be too hasty and choose something just because, but I also think continuing to see homes isn't really making my decision any easier. Thanks!

Hi all! First post here: my husband and I are thinking of getting solar panels and battery storage but have some sticker shock (would require a sizable loan). Anyone in a similar boat and how has the experience been?

What is the most difficult part of buying a home for the first time?

I am brand new to the process and keep hearing conflicting reports. Should I be waiting out the market? Or is this the perfect time to buy if you can? I don't trust all these realty sites telling me I should buy now.

If I see one more article on how millennials are ruining the economy or housing market by not buying enough homes or selling enough homes I'm going to scream. We were saving for 3 years before Covid and had to use a solid chunk to take care of ourselves and our families during quarantine. Now that we're ready to save again inflation and COL are at an all-time high and we're headed into a recession. And somehow this is my fault for what...not being a boomer? Bffr.

Thinking about using my VA loan in a few years. Any advice?

Please suggest popular areas for 2BHK affordable rent in Toronto. Both my husband and I work from home and have recently moved here. Have stayed in basement accommodation for over 6months. Would like to have a slightly bigger place.
Any recommendations please. Thank you!
