How do you typically travel with your kids still in car seats (under 4)? Traveling with 2 under 4 and last trip used the rental companies car seats and they left much to be desired.

Delta Gold Amex vs Alaska cards

Anyone have pros or cons of either? Found an offer for Alaska that has 60k + $100 statement credit + companion pass annually after $3k spend in 3 months. Delta Gold offer is as stated in their site. Preference would go to whichever one offers an instant card number to use, but I believe both of them do that.

Anyone put on administrative processing for a us b1/b2 visa?

I am current interviewing with Visa and they started the background check before the final round. The recruiter called me saying she’s already have an offer ready but I have to go through one final interview with the VP. However, he has been out of the office for the past two weeks. She mentioned they are not interviewing anyone else for the position, but I keep seeing the position being posted over and over again on LinkedIn. Any thoughts? I have other offers in the table.

Been 6 months since my i140 was Approved. Just started my 5th year of H1B, priority date not current and I’m from India.

Would it be any risk if I were to switch employers now even if my new employer’s PERM is delayed/denied/RFEd? Can I get my unlimited H1B extensions based on my current employer’s approved i140?

After how many days can we expect the offer letter from TCS post the status is changed to "Evaluated" in ibegin portal. I had HR discussion last week and CTC break up was shared with me last Tuesday. This Tuesday (24-Aug) the status was changed to Evaluated..so now in how many days can we expect offer letter from TCS?

Sinema is such a strange political animal. She had unbelievable amounts of leverage to ask for ANYTHING in exchange for her support of the Manchin bill, and she asked to give the most unproductive set of billionaires and millionaires a tax relief by keeping the carried interest loophole? Wow! Just wow!

Meanwhile, the same bill goes ahead to expand the powers of the IRS to go after the little guy (those that can’t afford accountants and tax lawyers). Unbelievable stuff!

Can’t believe I wasted a semester studying the Efficient Market Hypothesis.

Curious if anyone else is or has been in the same boat. I started as an assistant at an entertainment law firm prior to passing the bar. Upon passing, the partner told me they would hire an assistant for me since I now became an associate. That was 1.5 years ago and I am still in the limbo of juggling my own workload + doing assistant roles for my supervisors. I have also had no increase in pay, which is a huge deal for me. Is this normal in the entertainment world? Any suggestions?

Hi all, I currently have 5 years experience as a Salesforce developer and 10 years experience as a .net developer. I also have the Platform Developer I cert. I am currently based in Vancouver Canada and my salary here is $101,000 CAD, with no yearly bonus but I do get share options and the company is not IPO yet.
Is a good salary for my experience? It is so expensive to live here, the money doesn’t go far and I have a 10 month old baby. Just wondering if I should start looking for a new job.

Hi all, it's my first time posting here and I would be really happy to get some advice from you. I live in London UK, where I moved to from abroad a few years ago. I've been thinking about my career recently and I feel a bit lost, not really sure where I should be at my age, how I am doing, and where I'm going. Has anyone gone through something similar? How did you solve that? I was thinking of maybe looking for a mentor, which is something I've never tried before.
Thank you all for any advice

GME HODL - oh yeah!

25 yo and have $22k invested in a few stocks/ BTC. Thinking about rebalancing into 80% mutual funds and 20% stocks for more passive investing. What are the best mutual funds besides VTSAX for my age?

This may not be a good fit for here, so if there’s a better place to post please let me know. It appears I have a good shot of getting a promotion soon. My manager can’t officially offer it yet, but gave me an idea of the raise. I haven’t had to really negotiate before since my last raise came from a move and they beat my ask. Basically I have no idea how to negotiate for the best raise without coming off ungrateful. We have a hiring freeze so I’m really fortunate and don’t want to mess up.

(24M) I have around 10k saved in my credit union savings account. Thinking about putting a decent amount in a high yield savings account like GS’s Marcus to start compounding interest. I’m not very knowledgeable in investing as I didn’t grow up with a lot or have parents who were money savvy. Does anyone have recommendations on how to navigate the investing landscape? Honestly it’s a little overwhelming and I just feel lost. Should I invest in CDs, index funds, start a Roth IRA ? So many optins
