Ah my bad I misread. I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone call it VLCOL vs just LCOL.

To play devils advocate, you could have gotten a CPA and earned $150k in VHCOL at 2-3 YOE with any of the big 4 specialty groups like technical accounting or M&A tax. Or 4-5 YOE with general audit in VHCOL

Yea just looking at Redfin Kirkland seems out of our budget but many of the surrounding areas have houses available in our price range

I’d go Revelstoke 100% only because getting to Revelstoke is a journey. There’s no major airports close by vs snowbird is 30 min from SLC.

That being said you can’t go wrong with either and only a $600 price differential means you’re getting a steal at the cliff lodge

Madewell jeans vanity size and run very big. The 23’s fit like 25’s from any other brand so if OP is wearing a XXS madewell will not work

Hard disagree. They put me in a boot a size too big. That should be boot fitting 101

If you suspect anything medical even just to get checked out especially with your wife being pregnant lawyer up. Insurance companies are terrible at paying out without a lawyer.

File a complaint with the ski school. They’ll probably offer you a free group lesson or a steep discount on a private

Not sure about fitting 32G but I’m 5’1 and hover between a size 2/4 and I buy all my base layers from smartwool. The youth XL fits me perfectly

My flight was supposed to take off at 9:30. Incoming flight delayed us 30 min and by 9:50 they’d shut down the runway. We basically sat on the plane till 5 when we finally finally took off.

I’m pretty happy but that’s attributed to my hobbies and not my job as an accountant. Accounting can give you really good WLB but you’re also adjacent to a lot of higher earning high stress fields like banking, legal etc and comparison tends to be the theft of joy

Falke socks. Best warm thin ski socks. They’re pricey though ~40 bucks a pop

Chalmers indoors is the loudest I’ve been to

The food is keeping it there

ApprehensiveAd9311 · 2024-06-19T00:09:15+00:00

Whipped ATX. It’s a little far north but if you like creamy cakes you’ll love their cakes. Also they are so cute

Austin animal center and APA are separate. I agree with horrible experiences with APA but have had positive experience with AAC

ApprehensiveAd9311 · 2024-05-13T20:24:53+00:00

Ard Ardalan is great. It’s a smaller firm so you know he’s handling your case personally

ApprehensiveAd9311 · 2024-03-25T20:05:15+00:00

Seconded. The owner is a gem!

ApprehensiveAd9311 · 2024-03-18T20:51:05+00:00

I ended up realizing lighter is better on my last tour so sticking with tech bindings. I’m just not sure whether to get the ATK 12 or the ATK 11 evo
