Taking a gamble here. 25 OXY $16Cs for 4/9 and 25 OXY $17Cs for 4/9. $0.20 and $0.08 respectively. Very high risk but have gains on other OXY trade that I don’t mind risking on this.

I get credit alerts from Experian/ TU & was told two email addresses were found on the dark web. Have been hit w fraudulent charges in FL via Chipotle app; rec'd email that said sender knew my password (was partially correct) & was going to send nude pics of me to my contacts; rec'd email from Best Buy about my email being used to reset my pword (don't have BB acct) & today was notified of a declined transaction in Canada (I'm in TX). Besides changing pwords/ replacing cards what should I do?

I'm working on a Fintech startup related to commercial banking pricing. We would like to do some "expert interviews" with current RMs (we would compensate your time.) We want to better understand the friction points when it comes to price C&I or CRE loans. Please DM me if you are interested.

We are not looking for any private information, but more anecdotal evidence of issues that can be improved.

This is for Amex folks.

Do any of you guys use Microsoft Excel or anything like that when doing financial planning? Like for example having an excel spread sheet where you type in clients income, and income when retired

My partner and I are in the process of buying a PHEV that qualifies for the full non-refundable federal tax credit. We will both owe taxes in excess of the current $7,500 cap (will see if that increases with the new budget bill). If we both own the car (i.e. both names on the title), how do we manage filing for the tax credit when filing separately? Do we just pick one of us to file? Is there guidance on splitting the credit across owners? Does it matter what order our names are on the title?

Is Deloitte hiring on H1B for transfer? Cleared 1st tech interview but recieved email from HR to confirm visa status. My fear is to get ghosted :)..GFS practice if that helps.

For Indian folks who know the wait for green card is some ridiculous number of years, why don't people get an L1 visa and get a green card faster that way? I'm very curious about that route vs H1B

Did anyone else pick up PANW last week after my post? I bought outright but I’m curious if anyone bought calls and what your current position is, we’ve had a nice run up so it seems like it might be tempting to sell before earnings if your calls are already up 100%.

Starting apartment hunting in NYC soon. Any tips and recommendations for studios & 1 bedrooms in the city in terms of price range, ROI, neighborhood, down payment, best time to invest etc.

Considering getting my license and starting off as a real estate agent. I've always loved real estate, house flipping, interior design. What can I expect as income and time commitment as a brand new agent with no book of business? How hard is it to get established and become well known in my area? I'm in the Bay Area. Anything else I should know before I quit my job and persue this dream?

Hello travel buddies! I have recently started travel hacking and currently have the Chase Sapphire Preferred, Capital One Venture, Marriott Bonvoy Boundless, and Citi Premier Cards. Please comment if you would like a referral link for any of these!

I've noticed that my coworkers tend to work more on their own than with others, even when they're all in the office. Is this normal? I feel like it would be helpful for everyone to talk about their projects more often—I mean, what if someone else has solved the same problem you're trying to solve already?

Hi TCSers,


Will we have any project specific interview or client interview before joining TCS?

Will it more like a round to reject further?

Im really worried.I still have 35 days of notice period left and I received a call from a TCS employee today and she asked me to share my resume to a project manager when asked she said it is for its tracking purpose.

Please let me know.

Is rent downtown generally cheaper than Deep Ellum?
Looking at either renewing my lease downtown or moving to Deep Ellum. I’m wondering if I can negotiate Deep Ellum rent down by citing that my downtown apartment (similar amenities, sq ft, etc) is $400 cheaper. There’s only one building in particular I’m considering in Deep Ellum, I just can’t stomach paying almost $2k/mo for a regular one bedroom.

I got laid off and not sure if I should find a place cheaper to live by myself and pay rent with UI for couple of months while studying or go back home where family is and contribute much less than I will be spending living alone to parents for rent. I will be saving a lot. Problem is younger sister who is mentally draining and steals my things, makes nasty comments towards me lives there and her bedroom will be right next to mine. She once got me arrested for no reason. What should I do?

Polling the group: Stay for one more year at Big 4 firm as a manager and get possibly get promoted next year - or take senior manager job now at a boutique firm? Offering same pay but better hours.

I left Big 4 after 2 internships and 1 year as a staff for reasons I’ll describe below. I was highly rated and they didn’t want me to leave. I want to go back but only if I can be a senior. Realistic?

We had evaluations and normally we have annual raises. I think my salary is under market value at $68k (plus OT) in Los Angeles (5 years of experience). I was told I am one of the top employees in the firm. When I asked about a raise, I was told “when you think about it at your level 5k to 10k doesn’t really matter it’s the long term goal that matters”. What would be your response to that, to a partner who is making 500-600k a year?

Deloitte FL/PR is turning into a joke.. if firm morale wasn't already suffering from layoffs, they increase minimum hours through December while half the offices are unassigned. Abandon ship.

Has anyone else had both markers dry out during a CPA exam? It's happened to me both times I've taken it.

What is this "Tax Tech" I keep hearing about?

I’ve been at my company for 10+ years. I’m not happy with the culture but have flexibility I enjoy, seniority for the time I’ve been here, and pays well. An new job opportunity came up as a Tax Manager but in a different industry which could expand my skillset in different ways, but is not as flexible and the pay is 20k lower. If I stay, I will be Director in few years. What will look better on a resume in the future, continued growth in 1 company or experience in more than 1 company?

How bad is it if someone misses 3 time sheets and is up for senior promo?

I see some Partners’ CPA expired, but they still put it on their business cards and email signatures. Are they allowed to do so?
