So I ventured out from solo travel back to groups and immediately ran into

- missing scheduled calls to coordinate
- not reading tour descriptions, resulting in stupid questions
- often late & needing others to wait on them

Curious if yall simply get used to that as biz-as-usual during group travel, or if I've just had bad luck with friends.

Is it misleading to just look at Total Compensation from a $ dollar value/ Total Compensation seems to be much more subjective than base salary in terms of its value. Some factors might be:

RSUs granted on dollar value or by # of shares & stock price trends
Vesting schedule
strike price on ISOs & delta between strike price and real market value

For instance, most of value in Amazon's comp seems to be granted in years 3 & 4, but it's well known that most people last only 2 years max there.

Hi All :) I need advise on whether it is possible to get my first time H1B stamped at a US consulate in Canada ?

Help!! My bestfriend is doing two months abroad and was trying to fly into turkey when they told her she couldn't because her passport expired within three months.

She went to the US Embassay in Athens knowing she had a month left of traveling, and gave her an emergency passport and punched holes in her exsisting one. Now no country will let her in with her emergency passport.

Can her mom get her a passport in the US and ship it to her? Is there anyway around this?

Thank you!!
