To whoever did the Reese’s spot, my father-in-law texted me and said it was “cute.”

Fishes honest opinion needed. Me and My so presently live in Arkansas, living in our first home with a child 4 year, both of us recently changed our jobs and have HHI ~ 420K, current mortgage 1600/month. We are looking to move to Dallas and thinking of buying a house ~996K with a 15% down. Questions -
1. Should we go for house of that budget? We can afford, but asking based on market.
2. Should we down 15% or just 5% ? Or go for 20% ?
*Getting a rate lock 4.25% 🤞🏼

Should I transition to a tech sales job? Thoughts on risk vs reward? I am 34 yo, married with a baby incoming. I work at Google Cloud in solutions engineering (I help develop quantitative business cases with sales teams for customers). My cash base + bonus is $220k (going to ignore equity). I have an MBA from the University of Chicago, not that it matters much in sales. I have always been in a consulting role but I think I can make more in sales. I have a competitive personality and I am bored.

I paid for my kid’s college fee this year and last year thinking I will use 529 in future for second kid but now I am having second thoughts as I need little more money to buy an investment prop cntd

Hey guys… I’m a case worker in child safety and I’m someone who loves being outdoors/dies at a desk all day. I’m hoping to organise that at least once a week I can go to a cafe and catch up on all my case notes that need to go into the system.
So far the only reason I’ve been told no is that “if you do then everyone will want to and then no one will be in the office” … how can I convince them that I work better out of the office and get this freedom & mental break for myself?

Did anyone else adopt the new Florida Wonders curriculum? We just adopted it this school year, and I teach 4th grade. My team and I have not found a good flow, schedule, or whatever you want to call it. We feel like it teaches too many skills in one lesson, and we are not able to truly teach anything “deep” enough for students to master. Does anyone have any insight? What do you do? Do you like the curriculum? Why or why not? Would you be willing to share what you do weekly/daily? Thanks!

Trying to set family expectations and would love thoughts on 2 things. 1. How long after baby will I be ready for visitors beyond our parents? I’m thinking a few weeks. 2. Our 3 grandmothers are 1-3 hour flights away (3 diff places) and cannot travel. When will we be ready to take baby to see them? I’m thinking 4-6 months but that would also be flu/RSV season. Can’t predict the future but family is already talking about trips and I want to set expectations and do what is best for baby. TIA!!

And my wife has 28 Lac gold(wedding gift) + 80 Lac(ancestral) Land.
We have a child, his current age is 2 years+
Currently our monthly expenses are around 22k(max), and my CCTC is 15 LPA+ with 8+ YOE.
My age is 29! I don't feel like working anymore.

I broke up with my EX mainly because the relationship with my child and her was not the best, it sucks but I have to look out for my child, So far I am able to do the things I can do now. It is not the I am not Hoeing around but the simply fact that I can hang out with friends and go watch my son play baseball is a great feeling now. I feel at peace now, in somewhat of pain because of the breakup but I am at peace now.

I’m a Pro now, baby!

I just got a really great offer, only downside is the eligibility for maternity leave is after 12 months of employment. We got a faint positive today but have had so many chemical pregnancies over the past year that I am not confident it will stick this time BUT I am on aspirin and progesterone for this try … so it could.. I want to see if I could negotiate being eligible earlier but I also don’t want them to think I’m pregnant when I’m not actually… How would you approach the conversation?

Any book recommendations for grieving the death of an estranged parent?

I don't have any friends in banglore. It is hard for me to find friends cause i am always that aloof kid who in addition is not straight so can't even bond with my teammates. How do people live like this. Even my flatmates don't talk . : (

Opinions on career clerkships? Especially with a two year old and wanting another child eventually.

Overnight layover with some buddies in Doha - any suggestions for St Regis or the W? Landing around 11pm and leaving at 9am we just want to go clubbing and party before the next flight.

My career goal isn’t to make it to MBB or a unicorn or FAANG. It’s to feel fulfilled and challenged as I progress. I can’t be the only one that isn’t title or company chasing.

How much impact does a rejected L1B and not picked H1B have on a current L1A filing?

We flew back from Ireland today on Delta. Our connecting flight from JFK at 6:10 was cancelled while we were flying over the Atlantic Ocean, and we were rebooked on a 3:40 instead (2.5 hours earlier) but not notified. I received no email, text or app notification of the flight cancellation or the new flight we were placed on, so we missed it. They now cannot get us home tonight and won’t even guarantee they can get us home tomorrow, impacting my work, (cont)…

Hey, I am looking for an Angel investor to invest in our idea. Can someone help me to connect with the person.

I just left my pre-seed startup that was running out of cash (we made $100,000 in revenue this year, and sunk $1m in costs). I was making $40,000 as a developer (plus 20k stock options at $1/share per year) and they refused to pay me any more money. I have 17,000 vested stock options, total number of shares at the time of my contract was 4million. I’m a bit confused about share dilution and if it’s worth it for me to buy some of my stock options… thanks in adv!

Pro tip: live close to poorer people to feel rich. The feelings of wealth are extremely subjective and is mainly based on comparison

ACCA and CPA qualifications. How useful are they in the line of consulting. I work in the M&A space focusing on FDD. Happy to have a chat to see what qualifications if any are actually useful in our line of work.

Seems like “the button” is back as an advertising device. Been absent for a while but coming back in force this year.

CELEBRITIES ARE NOT A CONCEPT

Trump just surprised me.

Skinny Jason Mamoa 🤣🤣🤣

Uh, Discover? ... “Hello”?

That Woody Allen reboot was pretty funny.

New York Life. Beautiful.

Groundhog Day wins it for me. Perfect cultural reference to fit the message and a lovely execution.

Btw Bloomberg is not really running for President. He’s building a political campaign machine that he’s going to unleash against Trump all year. It’s going to be an interesting case study...

MARIA HILL TO THE RESCUE! (Avengers theme plays)

Google spot just killed me 😢

I’m beginning to think all the 2020 SB briefs started with... “we need a big personality to represent our brand.” Since when is celebrity a substitute for concept?🤔

What if the network broke up the comercial breaks by mood - like all sad ad together and all funny together. Too much emotion rollercoaster

thanks to all the CCOs & ECDs for putting up with our shit and sarcasm - we wouldnt have been posting if it wasnt for you posting openly ✌️

On another time, a younger me would have loved the Porsche Heist ad. Now, however, the concept just feels dated (and a bit lite for Porsche). Fun to shoot tho. Am I the only one?

Was anyone else expecting the Tide 'later' guy to show-up in the P&G ad? Missed opportunity? Or too expected?

congratulations to the great state of kansas last night!!

Is Baby Nut cuter than the E-Trade talking babies?

That was fun by Audi. Love the choice of song.

Rocket Mortgage just won the bar. The civilian next to me said, “That might be the best commercial I’ve ever seen!”
