Are there any debt consolidation options for a professional family man with a decent credit score, who's let high interest credit card debt get out of hand? I get the mailers that entice with a low advertised rate, and then the offer comes back at something slightly less than what I am already paying. I am thinking something along the lines of a bank that I can talk to, and explain exactly where the money is going, not being apposed to a direct deposit to the card companies themselves.

Hey all, having issues with interviewing this year. I’ve been passed over every opportunity I really want and I’m unsure how to regroup and move forward.

A lot of my HPLC and LCMS experience is with already established methods. Any tips?

Hi fishes! To those of you who moved from UK (or elsewhere) to Dubai for work - is it the standard norm to get an expat package when you move to Dubai? Just trying to understand how it works. Thanks!!

My fiancé and I are first time home buyers (both 28 yo) and would like to know what makes more sense: buying an expensive home or buying a lower cost one. Our combined income is around 400K but since we just began working post school, our savings are only $70K right now (also 30K in student loan debt). We’re buying in a high property tax state where taxes could be 4% (think 12K taxes on 600K home). Should we get a 500K house or get a 800K - 900K (which represents most I’m willing to spend)

TIA :)

Good salary for a mid level planner?

An open office concept is the worst thing to happen since Donald Trump's campaign.

🐠 Would you rather work on award winning next level creative with zero work life balance or churn out mediocre work and have a healthy work life balance?

For people going through layoffs right now. It's really hard. But pro tip: sit down and write your obituary assuming you live to be 100. Helps so much to really see this is nothing but a blip. ❤️
