Pls critique my card strategy:
1. Amex gold for dining/grocery/deliveries and moderate protection benefits
2. Citi custom cash for gas purchases with 5% cash back
3. Chase freedom flex for good travel protections, and 5% rotating cash back
4. (Optional if I travel more) CSP: To earn good travel rewards, with good protections

Does Capgemini file for L1 Visa? If yes, how long the process takes.

I stopped contributing to my 401K for the last three months in order to pay off credit card debt. I am 28 and have about 68K in my 401K. Was this a smart decision? I want to get out of debt as quickly as possible and I have no student loans or car debt.

Why do 403b have such I fees? I almost want to stop contributing all together or just minimum 6% to meet the match. Possibly just rely on the pension but what if it’s underfunded when I retire?

Seeking feedback on GAP insurance. I had a family member who purchased a car in June or July. They were in an accident last week and it sounds like the car will be declared a total loss. Never dealt with this before, so wanted to ask if anyone has ever had an instance where the insurance didn't cover the outstanding balance of the loan and the insured then owed money? Car was $35k, $7k down, finance $28k. Gap insurance is through lender, not auto insurer.

Just found out we have a death in the family and will need to travel cross country for the funeral. I’m on day 4 of clomid for IUI and worried we’re going to have to miss our window for the month. Is it just what it is, or has anyone dealt with travel issues during IUI?

Advice on which Greek islands to visit in September? Santorini is in the list, but I can’t decide on others. Which are your favorite and why?

Did anyone new join here from the other thread that was planning group alt travel.

I tried asking this in my own bowl with no responses, so seeing if other consultants have run into this situation. I’m on parental leave, I got an offer for another firm, great opportunity and pay. How does one go about a resignation mid-leave when you would start the new job before the leave ends? Two weeks notice or just say I am not returning effective the day of the new job? Any things to consider besides potentially repaying the employer healthcare premium?

Can someone recommend affordable health insurance? I left the firm earlier and am expecting a gap of medical coverage until I find a job. Currently not actively seeking either...

Is it worth looking for another opportunity?

I love my WFH in PwC India & base location of Kolkata. & the best thing is stability in PwC India, they never lay off!!

At what investment size should you typically start using fee only financial advisors?

I have an offer IQVIA and VFISLK offers @ 15lpa each.

Please provide your thoughts to help me decide which company to join taking career growth in perspective.

What is salary of Software engineer in Berlin for 4 years of experience

Less of a question, more of a request... stop asking your junior BIPOC strats to work on BLM briefs because they are the only voice of color on your team. In a time where we need support grappling with our very REAL realities and how it impacts how we show up in the agency, the LAST thing we need is an “opportunity” to express our “unique POV” on a diversity brief (that we won’t even get to speak to none the less). Imagine having to chanbel your trauma into a deck to sell in an idea to clients?

I joined fishbowl a month ago and while I’ve seen a couple contentious debates but I must say I’m pleasantly surprised at how respectfully ppl comment on this app even when disagreeing. Usually anonymity on the internet brings out the absolute worst in ppl; they type things anonymously that they would NEVER say in person smh. But I really haven’t seen horrible comments here. I wonder what makes this app diff frm others?

Got laid off today. Ironicly is I have been looking for a new job for over a year. I guess it's good that I no longer work in a toxic environment & no longer for a criminal. Heartburn from anxiety.

Any tips for writing a self-review? I have low self esteem and think I’m bad at everything, so it’s hard to know what to put in ‘super powers’ and ‘areas of development’. I don’t want to point out all the things I think I’m bad. On the other hand, I’m not sure what my strengths are. Any suggestions?
