Nice cars. Comfy. My dad has gone thru several S60s and now moved on to X60s. You just gotta be into the single screen/no buttons design, and the steering is very light even in “sport” mode (I think they call it like “heavy steering” mode in the settings). But no major complaints that I’ve heard

Have an Xc90 as the family car, it’s a great vehicle. Incredible safety record, highly reliable

Would you recommend this for a mid 40s single person, no kids ?

Yes. If you like the style and price, no reason not to. Just go sit in one and test drive one to confirm you like it but there’s nothing deal breaking about these, kids or no kids.

Can i ask ADP to revise my salary if i have counter offer with more fixed component.

Should I negotiate without any competing offers?

Company: Walmart Tech Labs
Location: Hoboken
Base: 150k
Bonus: 24k (16%)
RSU: 25k / year for 3 years

Offered TC: 180k
YOE: 3

I initially thought TC was 199k, but it’s actually 180k. Should I say something like “I was expecting 220. Is there anything you can do like a sign on bonus/raise base a bit to help get to 220?” To see if they can bump it up a bit?

I just don’t want to negotiate and get the offer rescinded.

Hi car 🐟

Been looking into 2019 Infiniti QX50, Lincoln MKC, Mazda CX-5, Chevy Equinox, and other similar compact to mid size SUVs but having hard time making the decision.

What are some affordable SUVs that i can buy with ~$25k budget? Hopefully it's post 2019 model and has good fuel economy and reliability (low maintenance cost). I'm less concerned on the mileage but wanting good horsepower (~250hp). Any suggestions? Thanks for your insights.
