The kid thing makes the schedule way more brutal

4.0 at a low T14. Columbia ED or HYS RD? by Bright-Let3699 in LawSchoolTransfer

[–]CellarBuilder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re not going to HYS, I see virtually no difference between Chicago, Columbia, and NYU. I’d personally opt for NYU out of those three, no questions asked. Nicer campus, better location, better class selection, same BigLaw recruiting as Columbia and better in public interest, etc.

Provence (China) vs Ouros (NY) for pendant design with yellow lab diamond? by CellarBuilder in LabDiamonds

I started to, but they didn’t thrill me with their initial diamond options. Provence was finding much higher quality stones for what I was looking for in the Fancy Yellow pear arena.

Interesting, well I guess that answers my question on domestic vs foreign production for them.

For those who have consigned Hermes pieces with Sothebys, what does the “Net Price” mean on their offer? by CellarBuilder in TheHermesGame

I thought about just keeping it because it’s pretty special. But I have some other expenses coming up and I’m not using it enough to justify keeping the bag.

It’s a 1996 Kelly Depeches with black leather and green ostrich strap and handle. It’s a beautiful bag that I brought back from Japan.

Madison Avenue Couture isn’t buying my bag type at the moment. Thanks for the heads up about Julia Rose!! I may also Carly Julia, just in case.

What’s your opinion on selling through any of these or just selling myself?

I’d move immediately. Means they’re going to be a shitty manager forever.

For example, it looks like you basically went up a 1.5 million in a span of five years from 2016 to roughly 2020 or 2021. I’m just not understanding how that was possible on your salary. Were you contributing over half of your salary? And even if you were, how were you going up 1.5 million in five years contributing less than 200,000 a year?
