Up by 45 points after the Kamara TD and my opponent has Browns defense tonight... I think I’m going to the championship!!!

I’m a 2016 grad making $120k in a small to mid-size regional firm. I’m based in Nashville. My firm’s management is trying to survey other small to mid-size regional firms to get a feel for where the comp is now, especially in light of the big law increases that are making headlines, and to see just how far below market we may have fallen. Any additional data points from smaller regional firms (especially if you have a presence in Nashville or across the SE) would be appreciated! TIA

I canceled my Amex paid membership as we aren’t traveling for work yet. Have 100k points to redeem in 2 days. Don’t want to waste it on target or Walmart gift cards as they have terrible conversion rate. Any suggestions? May be transfer to Emirates points as I will travel to Dubai in a year?

Flight attendant woke me up while I was sleeping to give me ice cream, then I couldn’t go back to sleep.
How many points?

Anyone deal with this before: I inherited a severely under developed team including a sr analyst who clearly was doing the bare minimum, if that. Over the last 6 months I have had to coach him and correct simple mistakes in his work and recently it got so bad that I told him he would receive a low rating in his evaluation. He lashed out, involved HR saying he doesn’t understand why, and now my review points out stuff that I would have let slide.

Can someone confirm if Marriott does not give complimentary breakfast with a points booking? Booked with 25k points and was told no complimentary breakfast..

Something has been bothering me for a long time and I want to get it off my chest.

My firm does upward feedback and I asked about 10 of my team to participate so that I could be a better supervisor for them. My results: I got mostly great feedback with constructive points, however along with it I received the meanest, most cold hearted criticism I’ve ever seen (con’t in comments).

Hi Fishes,
Anyone working in Exxat?

When pitching your group at a midsized firm’s services to potential clients such as PE firms, what selling points would you push for as to why you’re better suited than, or at least a good option over, big NY firms? I’m thinking more competitive fees for one, but what else would convince a PE investor to retain a midsized firm/keep them in mind?

Hello Fishes,

I have got my L2 Dependent Visa stamped for the US through the Wife's organization and she has booked the tickets for the both of us in the next weekend. I am currently unallocated in TCS and seeking projects in the same US location as my Wife. Can I travel to the US just like that and then continue my search within TCS from there or do I need any approvals to even fly in the first place?

I am worried because of the time crunch and will be glad to hear some points on this.

I NEED HELP WITH CREDIT SCORE issues: Two months ago my credit score went down by 30 to 40 points due to dad missing credit card payment by a day (i got added to as authorized user on his credit card for me to build credit but now I’m filled with regret).

But I don’t know why it went down another 10 points. More below:

For people with Non-technical backgrounds who are now Product managers in the Tech industry, what kind of resources did you use to prep for your interviews? I've had people recommend brushing up on cracking the PM code but there's SO MUCH information out there and it's hard to figure out if I'm looking at the right thing or not. Please share resources that helped you get into PM roles (bonus points if you work at companies like Amazon and Google).

Weekly Hot take. Accessibility=/= easy mode. I know it would take alot more time and resources to develop but more games sould come with accessibility features like color blind mode and maybe a bullet time for jumps. I am not a person with disabilities but i believe Celeste did a pretty good job at adding some of these features. I know it's hard to account for every type of disability but we can at least start with the most common ones.

PwC India and PwC US

Which is better?
What are the advantages of joining PwC US.

Please help me to understand it

Full point PPR - need 4- Van Jefferson, OBJ, Aiyuk, D. Hopkins, D. Mooney and Gronk..Must must win !!

Should I take the gamble on Robby Anderson this week as my flex? Thinking about either him or Sony Michel, John Brown, or Diontae Johnson. Against Miami seems favorable. Yet Diontae seems...

Would be great if the Falcons would target Pitts at all

Should I trade Mitchell and 10 FAAB for Tyson Williams?

Should I start (a) Elijah Moore or (b) Adam Thielen at WR2

Should I start (c) James Robinson or (d) Melvin Gordon at RB2

Would you trade Davante Adams for Sammy Watkins?

Kittle (coming back from IR) or Gesicki (vs. Houston)?

I think the 49ers will ease Kittle back from his injury and have him primarily block against the Arizona defense.

However, Miami may primarily run the ball due to the game script vs. Houston.

What do you guy think?

Start ty Johnson or chase Edmunds? Half ppr

Which RB should I start in addition to Saquon Barkley in this 1 PPR league?
-Alex Collins @ CLE
-Javorius Allen @ CLE
-Dion Lewis @ BUF
-Aaron Jones @ DET

Some please help me understand this - Mahomes goes outside and tosses to CEH but it’s not a TD? How is that not a thrown TD if he literally threw it to him?

Any one else tired of how major free agents in football effect fantasy football so immensely. I’m sick of poorly drafted teams winning after major free agent pickups.

My RB situation is ugly. Recommendations on who I should start?

Need 2; 0.5 ppr

-James Conner @ CIN (I also have Snell in the event Conner is ruled out)
-Jeff Wilson @ DAL
-David Johnson @ IND
-Chase Edmonds vs PHI
-Lynn Bowden vs NE

I can also add Salvon Ahmed (vs NE), Sony Michel (@ MIA), Gus Edwards (vs JAX), Tony Pollard (vs SF), Latavius Murray (vs KC), James White (@ MIA), DeAndre Washington (vs NE), or Giovani Bernard (vs PIT).

My WR/flex is Ridley, Woods, Hilton, Amari Cooper

How'd yall do this weekend? Or hows it looking tonight?

Ya boi came out with a W!

what to do with aaron rodgers?

Who to Flex? Julio (vs BUF) or Collins (vs PIT) in .5PPR.

Another in my league has Kelce who I really want bc I have mahomes and a not great TE. Of these WR/RB would any be worth offering (maybe plus Steelers D bc theirs is terrible): Swift, Williams, Samuel, Robinson

Who wins this trade:
Sony Michel and Joe mixon for Pat mahomes and OBJ

I have cam Newton as a backup to mahomes.
