What’s the reliability like on an Audi A7? I’ve read Audi’s are generally less reliable but didn’t know if that holds true for the A7. Maintenance costs aren’t an issue, but don’t want something always in the shop like a RR.

That 3.0T is one of the more reliable engines they've made; really depends on the year - 2010-2012 had assorted electrical gremlins, and 2019-2021 has a pervasive 48v alternator issue that could cost you a good $2-4k to fix (plus the tow from the side of the road).

On balance, there are worse choices. I'd trust an A7 over a CLS and any of the flagship sedans - A8/7 series/S Class.

Ex Macan owner here. All the 6cylinders are known to leak oil, especially the older ones with the Porsche designed engines. Transfer case issues too

I have a 21 S5 and have had no issues. My first Audi. I was warned about maintenance too. So far so good.

These posts asking for anecdotes on reliability of given car modes are so stupid. Maybe just check the JD Power and Edmunds reliability ratings which aggregate across many tens of thousands of data points….

JD Power is only for first 90 days of ownership so not super useful for long term ownership

Hi fishes,

This annual appraisal I have got a good % of appraisal increment on my salary but I was not promoted to a senior developer (although I have been mentoring a junior dev in my team and been part of building the project by implementing new technologies and tweaks) and my total YoE is 3.5+ years. What could be the reasons? What should I do now?

Thanks in advance!!

There is an opportunity that I’m currently interviewing for that is very interesting to me. I’m interviewing two other places but I’m not responding to LinkedIn emails for other positions. The other positions don’t interest me as much. On one hand I don’t want to waste time prepping for all positions and rather put that time only for the ones that I have going on, on the other hand I feel like what is that falls through. Wondering if I’m making the right choice

Did I lose my chances at BCG north America by giving a preference for middle east?

Recently applied to consultant at BCG with Canada offices as first and second preference and middle east as third (with a 15% interest).

Recently got an interview invite for middle east but nothing for Canada. I'd love to work for BCG but I'd love to be able to do so in Canada. Where do I go from here? Can I request HR to change office or would that make it seem like I'm not interested?
