Should I cash out my CSR points now via Pay Yourself Back? Not planning to travel through 2020 EOY and then canceling CSR after.

Hello Fishes,

Did anyone attend interview from Delta Airlines recently?

Currently a relationship banker at Chase making 70k (45k base + commission) in Miami FL. Currently licensed with series 6 & 63. Been feeling stuck in role and recently got offer from Merril Lynch for the Wealth Management Banking Specialist role with 85k base . My market director gave me a counter offer to stay and make me Private Client Banker at an affluent branch. What is the best choice career wise? I want to grow in wealth management and possibly the advisor route.

I have offers from Amex and GS with similar Fixed component but the joining date of GS is two months after my last day in the current organization whereas Amex joining date is immediate. Should I wait for GS date or go ahead with Amex?

FYI Amex offer for Allen Edmonds. Spend $300 get $90

Do I keep Amex Bonvoy for Marriot stays (currently only Good Elite)? I primarily use CSR and Freedom Unlimited (cont.)

I feel so lonely and it’s not like I don’t have loads of loving friends that want to see me but since splitting with ex there’s just been a void. I know I can be alone, and I’m not going to chase something I know won’t work for companionship, but I genuinely just want someone to love and no friendship is able to fill this desire… anyways looks like it’s just work then gym…

Any idea what are the l1b visa extension trends? My spouse has an extension coming up and there has been no material change to her role since she got the visa approval. Will "defer to previous action rule"passed by Biden administration help her get the extension easily? Or are there any RFE/denial trends currently being seen?

I have a requirement to insert a row in database only if it meets following requirements
Ex: there is a column "points", a new record should be inserted only if points in the new record is greater than highest points already inserted in db or else throw that points are less

How i should approach this if i get lot of requests (say 10k) all a time. How can I achieve consistency and handle with less response time

My flight is at 6:45am tomorrow Im in the north end - will uber/lyft be available at this time??

Hi Fishes,

My sibling (from India) applied for Canadian Visa for study permit (2 years) and it was rejected stating the reason "the IRCC agent was not satisfied that the applicant would leave Canada at the end of their stay.
The intake was in Jan 2023.

Should we apply again? Has anyone ever experienced this and would appreciate if they can guide me? I'm really worried and emotionally tormented. Need urgent help.

Fishes need help - I have a mentor who is about to become a partner in her early 30s. I am incredibly happy for her, but am genuinely embarrassed as my own career has been shit(layoffs cut progress).

Although she has stated multiple times that she wants to keep in touch, I feel like I am an annoyance to her and feel embarrassed that despite all her time and advice, I failed and am a waste of time to her. Any advice on how should I proceed with this relationship? I don’t like being a burden.

Been trying to escape IT audit via an internal transfer to another department for a year now.
Problem : I am quite good at my job and my director refuses to let my time go. Is threatening to resign if my transfer doesn’t go through reasonable at this point given this long delay or is it burning a bridge?

I don’t prefer working with my reporting manager as the person comes across as arrogant and creates a toxic team culture when staffed on the engagement. Being part of a matrix organization, I get staffed on other engagements, but the expectation would be to work on RM’s engagement whenever I become available. I am not sure how Iong I can dodge. How should I deal with this situation/person? Should I network internally and move to a different team?
