Who has vacation rentals ? Looking at two communities one in Texas and one in Florida. They basically charge 19% for maintenance and then the turnover service. Pretty successful set of communities in Florida along 30A. Texas coast getting more popular too. I’m in Texas so would also be a vacation spot for me. I own several single family homes but first time going into this market.

Decided I’m going to quit in the medium term to take some time off. It’s been really difficult to keep the same work ethic and as a result am creating more anxiety for myself. Any advice? (Contd)

Hello fishes,
I am having 6 and half YOE. Techstack is front end development mostly on Angular. Currently working at a product based organization. I joined this org 8 months ago. This job has really stressed me out and I am on the verge of a burn out. I am considering quitting and taking a break for two months. Is it a bad idea to quit without having another job, especially given the market conditions now ? I really want to a month or two to take some time off and refresh. Pl advise.

I am sure it's been asked before a few times but I didn't see straight forward answers after searching.

It’s been asked before whether it’s worth it to pay (~$150) to upgrade a 3 hr flight. I generally agree it is not. But what if your two tweenagers bicker nonstop and are complete and total jerks to you all the time and your spouse chooses the “they’ll grow out of it” approach to things so basically you just want 3 hours of alone time. Then is it worth it?

(Note, in this scenario, they are all entirely too naive to realize it isn’t a system comped upgrade.)

How does a variable pay decided at JPMC.
HR only confirmed the Fixed portion of CTC but not the variable component and said this will be known to once they send Offer letter.

For the people who dated throughout their 20s, do you feel you would’ve missed out if you met your future partner at 24?

Deloitte, I feel ya. Way to go on the early promotions! Also everyone's situation is different, so I won't tell you what you should or shouldn't do. Just know that at the end of the day, if they treat you negatively as a result, there are PLENTY of other offices within Deloitte or any other Big 4 you could work in and be treated fairly while being open at the same time.

Looking for a home office chair…I need something really ergonomic/comfortable but given the visibility of the office in the house the wife wants something stylish. She keeps calling all my ideas ‘gamer chairs’ even though they’re definitely not. Anyone have any chairs they really like that may be worth looking at? I feel like I’ve looked everywhere (Steelcase, Herman Miller, humanscale, Haworth, xchair, etc).

What do you think are the chances this thing actually goes through? As of today they're still blocking it. It's paused which is fine, but if they don't actually forgive them after February I'll be pissed.
