Blanton's is my go-to

Macallan always gets the best reactions

I don't think you can go wrong with the black label, but you could also find a nice whiskey that's made closest to your area for it to be a bit more personable. For instance, I gifted a bottle of Frey Ranch to one of my colleagues and he loved it. And I think he appreciated that it was made in Northern Nevada at a 100-yr-old ranch.

Glenfiddich.

Another vote for that, Scottish whiskey always goes down well. Lagavulin is another option

Johnny Walker is fine but if you really want to give something fancy, go for Macallan whisky. 5/5 would recommend.

Johnnie Walker is not that bad actually, especially a Black Label. However, the best reaction I ever garnered was from a bottle of Glenfarclas.

like

Springbank. Tastes somewhat like coffee but is actually scotch.

Lately I’ve been feeling pay by bracket policy is very counter productive. When I came from my prev company, I had salary at the higher bracket due to market correction and novartis offer coinciding. Now after a couple of years, I see that people who were hired before or after me on a lower package have somewhat similar package as me cause of the pay brackets despite me performing better. Should I talk to my manager explaining my predicament? Or should I simply search for another job?

I was planning to buy a home next year, but now I expect to renew my lease once it expires. If so, I wouldn't be buying a home for at least 2 years from now.

Guessing I should still leave the down payment in a HYSA (getting 3% right now)? Sucks to miss out on market returns, but I understand that conventional wisdom is not to invest money you'll need in the short term (within 3ish years). I'm definitely tempted to put a portion of that in VTI though...

COMMENTS REQUESTED!

In the past, lawyer wellness and lawyer discipline/character fitness for bar applicants have existed in silos. I’d like to finally form a bridge between lawyer disciple and lawyer wellness and focus on prevention. When we think of lawyer discipline, we automatically think of outrageous behavior like stealing money. Those are extreme. The common cases are too stressed out and forgetting deadlines or death of a loved one and not having time to call clients back. Cont’d
