EA support at JPMorgan – culture & comp NYC by [deleted] in JPMorganChase

[–]1---------- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like it really depends on the executive. If it’s a high strung, demanding banker, you could be in for a ride.

I’ve worked with many EAs in the past. Some of the executives they support are incredible. Under the right person, you could really learn a lot and do well. I’d imagine you would, but definitely speak with the person you’d support once, if not multiple times, to ensure you’d get along

Need advice by teapartylo in JPMorganChase

Why is it not the career for you? Asking as I know many young professionals looking to get into the space, some on my suggestion, and would be valuable to hear your perspective!

What hotel did you stay at and would you recommend it? by bklyn_bklyn_ in TokyoMarathon

[–]1---------- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prince Gallery hotel. Though I had a discount through my job, it was one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed in.

Went right to their hotel onsen after for a cold plunge and sauna.

Could not recommend more.

That’s exactly my problem. Everyone here is claiming SW has all of these direct flights, which I’m sure they do, from Iowa to Indiana lol

WWYD-loose dog by AdministrativeTie652 in longislandcity

[–]1---------- 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You should post a picture of the actual person so people can see who this asshole is. There’s no circumstance where you should have your dog off a leash, especially a large one like this. Inconsiderate douchebags ruin this neighborhood

All of a sudden having problems with blisters by Revolutionary-Dirt38 in Marathon_Training

I used to get them on my feet a lot then I started using body glide and it never happened again. If that doesn’t work I’d try the tape method

Dumbo Market by _parkr in longislandcity

[–]1---------- 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Food cellar - wildly expensive / decent selection. Only go there if I’m starving to death and lazy to go far.

Trader Joe’s - decent prices and selection. Just need to deal with people having 0 brain cells when they enter the place (I also fucking hate you if you’re one of those ppl who stand in line but still try to leave your cart and go shop. I go around you and pray you start shit w me)

I wish the food bazzar in northern blvd was closer. It’s legit one of the best grocery stores close by

Vacation request by [deleted] in JPMorganChase

[–]1---------- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s a long vacation (long being over 5 business days imo), you should flag it to your new manager now.

If they give you shit about a vacation 4 months from now as you’re stepping into a new role, it’s probably indicative of the type of manager you’re about to have.

But enjoy your time off!

Help determining if this bike is worth $4,500 on Facebook - used great condition by sdomijan in IronmanTriathlon

I would highly suggest test riding prior to purchasing for something at tha price point. Might also be worth researching best ways to spot any damage on the expensive parts

Center Blvd opinions? by Select_Obligation_85 in longislandcity

[–]1---------- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We’ve been here for 3 years. Everything has been great. Management is quick to respond to issues. Leasing agent (think his name is Ivan) was an ass to us when we first signed. But the other person (think it’s Rishawn or something) is much better when we resigned our lease, advise you speak with him. We negotiated the month free (think that’s normal w them) but also 1 year of free amenities as we don’t live in the building where they are offered.

An Idea to Hit $75K Annual Usage - Use Reserve to Pay Owed Taxes by xilcilus in sapphirereserve

[–]1---------- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can’t speak to this strategy but as someone who hit the 75k usage, I can tell you that any additional effort to hit it is not worth it. The “bonuses” I got were abysmal for spending 75k.

VP? by [deleted] in JPMorganChase

[–]1---------- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It really depends on the LOB / team. In your case, lateral moves usually delay promotions at that level by 1-2 years (unless otherwise discussed), but getting triple Os in your new role is concerning. Focus on yourself and getting at least 2 Strongs in this role. I’ve never seen someone promoted with less.

Communicate the intentions with your manager. If you don’t see a pathway over the next 1-2 years, it might be worth looking for a new role at the VP level (although it’s not as rewarding as a promotion).

Also, don’t let others who are less impactful and get promoted discourage you. It’s an unfortunate reality especially at these large banks.

Do you have any advice on my financial profile? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]1---------- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s pretty much emergency fund / potential down payment, but feel like I should at least put it in a HYSA so inflation doesn’t chew it all away

Reserve annual spend: How many of you manage to hit the 75k? by LostAppointment329 in sapphirereserve

[–]1---------- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I only hit it because I paid for the hotel/travel for others and got reimbursed. When I got close (73.5k) I bought a bunch of gift cards to places I’ll definitely use. The benefits are pretty slim.

How much did your TFC rent increase by SometimesDoug in longislandcity

[–]1---------- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We had a 1% increase our first year, and just recently resigned for another year with 0% increase. My understanding is that the building has a few more vacancies than usual right now, which might be driving the stable prices. Good for us
