I am a CPA based out of Canada. I have 7 years of corporate finance and FP&A work under my belt. My fiancé will be starting dental school in NZ by Feb’23. Aiming to be a direct flight away from her, I have started looking into work opportunities in Australia. Can any expat here share their experience with getting a job as a foreigner?

Have always liked mekanism. What’s their Seattle location like? Just Alaska airlines?

Thoughts on the Hilton no AF Amex? 100k points and $100 statement credit seems pretty good. I’m a bonvoy person but free points seem legit…

H1B petition approved and my wife has been wanting to go back to India for a while. Can she travel on her own (after Oct-1) and do her H4 stamping without my presence (assuming we get an appt)? I already took some significant time off this year and don’t want to travel immediately.

Flew into nyc to celebrate my bday by myself this weekend but I’m just sitting at the hotel being bored and sad lol

Deciding between $450k condo vs $750k house. Currently live in and will always live in San Diego. $260k TC. Have $100k available for down payment. Don’t want to pay rent anymore. Would you recommend house or condo? House is shabby in up and coming area 30min from beach but 1500sq ft 4 bedroom. Condo is close to beach and 2 bedroom at 800sq ft. HOA fee $200 per month. Travel a lot and ideally can rent place out but not pivotal. Condo and house appreciation are equal over past 10 years

What region in the United States is best for real estate investing?

I was working at a Hotel one night & I saw a man appearing on two different floors, then in the stairwell. The man was in his 70’s or 80’s. He was wearing nothing but tidy whiteys. When he got to the front desk I asked “is everything alright? Are you okay?” (Assuming he may be senile),He wasn’t senile, he went swimming & wanted to make me uncomfortable and started to flirt while in his sopping wet see through tidy whiteys- and of course I had to clean up the water he tracked through the lobby.

So ladies who went to 3% this year - virtually or in person- how was it? I have to admit that I’ve grown skeptical of the conference’s ability to hold accountable the industry when the industry is the one bankrolling them. They’d be nowhere without huge donations from holding companies and tech. And yet…barely anything has changed. Yes. We have more (white) women in leadership- but all holding companies are white male led. Almost all CCO’s are men. Almost all C-suites are white men. Cont…

Is it normal for a discipline lead to have direct reports? My VP just praised my performance and asked me to become a manager for a new hire (which I'm more than happy to do), but there's no additional compensation for my new managerial responsibilities, and it seems odd that I would be asked to do this when we have a director and an assistant director on my team who are both technically in the management layer yet who do not have direct reports themselves.

Things to do for a weekend in Louisville, KY?

I am visiting Moab and Arches National Park this year, and would love to learn more about biking in/around the park!

Are you able to ride the bikes on the roads throughout the park?
If so, are there places to lock up the bike at trailheads and/or parking lots to take in?
I haven't been to this national park yet, so I was curious how it compares to Zion for example, where it is easy to bike from "stop to stop" to view the scenery or do a hike!

Thank you!
