Lmaooo right?! Tooo many red flaga to not notice something is off. They apparently were head over heels but dam have common sense too. ...

They trusted the guy, and believed he was rich. So in their mind there wasn’t a world where he wouldn’t pay them back.

Not sure if this is the right bowl but hoping to get some insight. I have a lot of student debt, and am considering refinancing with First Republic bank to get a (marginally) lower interest rate.

Is it a bad idea to refinance with a line of credit vs a regular student loan refinancing?

From my own point of view, I don't really want to spend my time on such returns, either, even if the revenue and easy return are nice.

I recommended a candidate for hire to a manager that reports directly to me. This person is a perfect match, but wanted the manager to obviously recommend. It has to be a fit. The manager just told me my recommendation is not her top pick. I feel frustrated because as much as we talk about the position, I wonder if we are mot aligned on criteria. What do I do? Do I push more for the person I want or will I cause an issue with the hiring manager? How do I get her to see this person’s value?
