Post your best land, air, sea trio…

Just found out that my favorite aunt, who claimed I was her “favorite” niece, chose to leave all her valuables to her other two nieces who never visited or called her once in the last ten years. My aunt passed away suffering from cancer last year and didn’t have her own kids. I was there by her side throughout her battle. I still wish I had done more, made her life easier. I probably sound petty, but a part of me is forcing me to re-evaluate every interaction I ever had with her.

After listening to the Mike Saylor podcast with Lex Friedman, it made me reconsider my notions I had about BTC layer 2. IMO ETH has thoroughly eaten BTC’s lunch from a development/dapp perspective. I’m 50/50 allocated in both because as Mike says BTC is durable digital property while I see ETH as the platform for application functionality. Would be interested to hear other’s takes. At the core of it, I’m not sure myself and others will ever want to spend BTC, even if fees were negligible.

L8 folks, how much hike and bonus you got?
Quite new to Accenture, not sure what the standard hike % here is.

Has anyone moved from B4 to a startup biotech? Position seems really interesting but overall seems risky. They’ve only had a Series A financing

Hi everyone,
There is a friend of mine who is looking for a job change. She has 3 yrs experience in hr recruitment. Let me know if anyone can refer her.
Thanks

I’m a recent grad, so I’ve been interviewing for both internships and junior AD roles. l just got an internship offer at a smaller agency, but I am hoping something full time will pan out soon...do I-

Do different companies have a methodology dedicated to technology change? Like tech implementation? Or is it specific to the product? Or high level to org change?

Any Strategy consultants here?

Does anyone have recommendations for an accountant (CPA)? I feel like word-of-mouth is going to be better than all the googling I’ve been doing. I’m open to having an accountant not in the state I live in, but preferably east coast. My last accountant was not great and super unresponsive (Google was not helpful even though they had great reviews...) This year I’m going to need a decent accountant for tax planning purposes as my taxes will be more complicated. Feel free to DM directly

Anyone want to grab a coffee or lunch today? (M26, married)

Which health insurance is good to take for family in a long run. Would like to stick to it for a decade.

Random, last-minute request.

Dallas is hosting “America's Outstanding Teen National Competition” (Miss America-Affiliated) this week and they are looking for one CPA to volunteer/support for 1-2 hours a day (Tues-Fri). Their CPA had to back out today with Covid.

If you or someone you know would be interested in volunteering, I can connect you with the organizers. Good opportunity to give back/support a good cause.

At a high level, what is a better way to maximize returns?

File all 12 months in NY or
file a few months in PA and remaining months in NY (about 9)

I was in PA for a bit during the pandemic

What are the best exit opportunities after working in ODD, CDD, valuations for a few years? IB? PE possible?

Is Rolex shipping watches again? My AD promised me a specific model and not sure if I’m getting ghosted or what...

Any experience with Frederique Constant? Seems like a good starter brand

Narrowing down my first above $1k watch. What would you go with?
BB58 vs Omega Moon Speedmaster vs Grand Seiko snowflake

Ever feel awkward or judged for wearing a nice watch? I find myself covering my sleeves when I feel judgmental eyes on my wrist. Is this just in my head and no one knows what they’re looking at? I feel this might be the case for someone more junior driving a nicer car, etc..

Ladies - my GF is turning 30 in a couple months. What are your thoughts on a Cartier watch? Was thinking Tank or Santos. How would you feel with either of those? Or go an entirely different route?

My husband said he would buy me a Rolex as a “push present” for our first child. I would want just a classic, timeless (no pun intended) looking ladies Rolex watch that I can wear for many years to come. Suggestions on a style? I really don’t know anything about them and would like to get some opinions on what people like since there are so many options.

Random question since I learned about this watch recently: does anybody in the bowl have the salmon dial Seiko Sarb037? And if so, how/where did you get it?

Any advice on how to find and build rapport with reputable ADs as someone just getting into luxury watches?

What’s the best thing I could buy for my old man’s birthday for about $10k? Would go Rolex (since he knows Rolex) but would prefer new, which limits my options there. Looking for something a little sporty, with a bracelet, and waterproof (100m should suffice). Nothing bombastic like a Panerai, but something a little more exciting than say a Datejust? And not Grand Seiko - he’s gonna think it’s like $50 and lose it :(

26 yr old M. I’m trying to get into watches more and have a couple that are <$300. Is it worth getting one now in $1k-$2.5k range or should I just wait a few more years and get one for ~$6k?

30th birthday present watch accessory ideas.

A lot of knowledge on here so asking for some help. It’s my partner’s birthday and I’ve no idea what to buy him. He’s a watch fanatic - Pateks (sports and dress), Audemars (sports and dress), Rolex (sports), Omega (sports).

I’m obviously not buying him a watch for his birthday (in his dreams!) but any idea for some good accessories? He’s already got a PP watch winder, and has bought multiple nice straps for the dress watches. I’m completely lost.

Just tríes a Watch on - found it ~50% on chrono24 from Hong Kong seller 600 reviews 97% positive - never bought from them and its an interesting chunk of change- would you do it?

When did you feel like you earned your first Rolex?

To the women on the forum. Would you rather receive a 36m date just or Cartier nail bracket? Looking to buy a Christmas, birthday, push baby gift (lumping them together) 😂. I know it’s a watch forum but which would you prefer.

Is Yema a relatively well respected brand in Paris? Have a buddy moving over there and wanted to get him started on something cheap but respectable. He isn’t a watch guy, so thinking quartz for low maintenance.

Any Rolex AD recommendations/connects in Miami area? Tyia

What size Cartier Tank (Solo or Must) for a 6 inch wrist? I’m assuming small as I think large might not look right
