What’s the biggest risk in finance careers that people don’t talk about enough? I think it’s becoming so specialized that you lose broader business relevance.

I don’t necessarily think this is a big risk, but in my experience, being a generalist has held me back much more than being a specialist would have. Maybe a generalist should pick up a couple of key areas to specialize in, I’ve often had a hard time trying to sell myself in interviews for more specialized areas where I have *some* experience but haven’t dedicated a significant amount of time to.

We are renovating a condo and the previous owner had two Crane toilets (not sure how old, but functioning although seals are old according to our contractor). Back outlet flour mount ones are the only options for the building, and one toilet can cost $300-$500.

We are redoing all the bathroom tiles and walls and debating what we should do with the two toilets. Would resealing the toilets extend the use life? Or should we just replace the toilets? Any other recommendations? TIA!!
