NYC moms — any outside the box birthday ideas for a 6yo with a January birthday that aren’t $500+? Our apt isn’t big enough to host, but can’t stomach the $800+ quotes I’m getting for play spaces.

Some museums will do a group tour or some libraries and bookstores will do private story time for under $500. For example, the Morgan Library does/used to do both.

Another idea is asking your local pizza place if they’ll do a make your own pizza party earlier in the day. If your kid is a good eater and good with restaurants, do a smaller party dim sum lunch and order all kinds of things. Do a smaller hibachi dinner. Once my dad had a local sushi place “teach us” how to make sushi, but we were a little older than 6.

Other unconventional tours are fun too. Tour a local firehouse. The Intrepid does cheap group visits. Wave Hill often accommodates smaller tours through their adorable greenhouses.

If a friend has access to a community room in their apartment, you could do DIY decorations and games and skip the hired entertainment. And say “no gifts” so the parents all love you.

Is it good to get stocks as part of CTC which has 4 years vesting period?

CTC looks high due to this stocks but effectively i would not be getting it for the 4 years. Also the yearly hike includes this stock component.

CTC had fixed, variable and stock part. Variable and stock is almost 30% of total ctc.

Really confused if this is a good deal or is it a trap.

What was the hardest class year for you? I used to think first year was by far the hardest but now I’m a third year and I’m really feeling the pressure to step up. I work in finance and at this point I’m expected to handle closing documents, manage first years, draft some portions of major docs, etc. I feel like I’m always frazzled, constantly second guessing if I handled something correctly and anxious to answer calls from clients/OC. The worst part is I think people can tell I’m a mess....

Which one should I go for?

1. Oracle - 18.3 LPA fixed + probable bonus (I may or may not get)
2. Amadeus - 18 fixed + 1.5 variable.

Amadeus is also giving joining bonus of 75k. Amadeus is paying more, may give better hikes too, but I am finding it hard to let go off Oracle's brand name on my resume even if it's means around 2L less over an year. I am planning to work for atleast 3 years in my next company.

What would you have done in my place? Should I go for Oracle or Amadeus?
