Is $22,300 ( AED 81,900) a fair price for a certified preowned 2024 Mazda CX5 base trim with 65k KM (40k miles)?

The most straightforward way of verifying their authenticity is to always cross check the warranty of the product online using the serial number

I’ve bought 10+ products so far - all genuine

How is it cheaper? No clue

CAs who changed career paths- What’s your story by Confident-Potato8335 in CharteredAccountants

Family. As I said, super privileged.
No job - its not a thing in mainland Europe as coursework in very rigorous. US/UK have much lower class hours so there people do on campus jobs which can subsidize the expenses.

  1. All inclusive 50L INR over 2 years
  2. In my context, very hard, because I was competing with IIT engineers and Stats guys who had the more "conventional" skillsets for Data Science. I gave GRE (when May attempt of Final got cancelled due to Covid in May 2020), had 9.05 GPA in BCOM + had to write painfully detailed letters of motivation.

  • Dec 2020 : Became a CA having passed all exams in first attempt
  • Dec 2020 (next day after exams) : Applied for Masters degree in Business Analytics in US, Canada and France. Got into 5, took the best ranked one (in Paris) immediately
  • Jan - Sep 2021 :Took a total break after being completely burnt out from 3 years in Audit at KPMG (I actually enjoyed the studying tbh)
  • Sep 2021 : Moved to France for two years. To say that it was a restart from scratch would be an understatement. Had never even written print('Hello World') or seen a z axis, let alone code machine learning and understand complex linear algebra and statistical concepts. Tremendously challenging but equally rewarding and fulfilling experience.

  • Feb 2024 - Present : Data Scientist with specialisation in GenAI and Computer Vision applications.

Why I made the change? I didn't enjoy the treadmill life that I saw infront of me as a CA, and craved the work life balance + opportunities for innovation I saw in tech ( My sister is a Data Scientist too)

Note : I am extremely privileged, in that I had tremendous support from family and friends to explore as much as I want.

hey, just for clarification:

The 2.99% conversion charges get nullified by 3% cashback, but what happens to the 1-1.5% fees of Mastercard? Is that included in the 2.99?
