Hi everyone ,

I hope you are well.

An individual plan is $70/yr, but a family plan (up to 6 individual accounts, no need to live in the same HH) is $100/yr. With tax, it'd be $18.13 per person. Each person has their own login and no personal data is shared with anyone else. You'd be on the hook just for 1 year and we could re-assess next year re continuing.

What’s everyone think about Uber’s new credit card they will be coming out with?

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.

Please please do not ever use CTC comparison between current and next company. If you get an offer, do an in hand calculation. Some companies add Retirals like Employer PF, Gratuity along with Insurance, furniture allowance as part of your CTC. Others don't. Sone also have higher variable package. So when you do a CTC delta you may get a 20% hike but when you discount the above things you will fall short and may end up making less. So choose wisely.
