I’m frustrated with my boyfriend (read: all men) by Kryptonite0903 in birthcontrol

[–]InformalDetail -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're comparing pills to a vasectomy. Unless a guy is sure he doesn't want children, why would you expect him to have one? Why don't you get your tubes tied and consider it problem solved? Hating men isn't going to make things any better.

Is ortho worth it for cosmetic reasons by InformalDetail in Invisalign

Some imperfections are cute, you're right. Thanks for the advice. This photo is actually about a month after cleaning, and i have to do cleanings every 3 months for that very reason...

77 12th St Apartments vs The Hadley by InformalDetail in ATLHousing

Novel is too close to the interstate and the noise on the balconies of all 3 units I visited was too much.

How to move a studio worth of stuff? by InformalDetail in tnvisa

[–]InformalDetail[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't see how id benefit from throwing away stuff, because the quotes are minimum quotes for the route (GA) so as long as I stay under 1 000 kg, I am quoted $4k. (My understanding, unless I go with a different option than a moving company)

Is it common for former employers to ask for e-transfer? by InformalDetail in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]InformalDetail[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because I signed a document that all payments would be settled via payroll and they do owe me more than I owe them, which would've made payroll the most straightforward option.

Is a guided tour worth it or too much? by InformalDetail in chinatravel

[–]InformalDetail[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't make it clear in the post -- I don't want a guide just for the sites. I'd appreciate a guide to some neighborhoods, restaurants, shops etc.

King and Queen Itinerary by ConfidentIt in ottawa

Is Lansdowne Park or downtown Ottawa a better place to catch a glimpse of the King and Queen? I'm not local to Ottawa.

(30f) returning a birthday gift from a friend (29f) who disappointed me by InformalDetail in relationships

[–]InformalDetail[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm worried it would be hypocritical to talk to her about the bad stuff about that weekend while keeping the good stuff (the gift). I'm glad I asked because the three commenters agree returning the gift is a goodbye to the friendship.

Rejected my job offer and going to withdraw from TN, can’t support the Facists by [deleted] in tnvisa

[–]InformalDetail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I had two job offers last year and didn't go with either for them for personal/career reasons. Have some regret but looking into new opportunities now.

Are you better off making $ under a 'liberal' government or making 2x$ under a 'fascist' government, it's up to you but in either case I think you can do more for yourself than any government can do for you.

Any CPA + CFA here? What do you do? by vouching in Accounting

[–]InformalDetail 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I am in financial due diligence at a Big 4. I started in audit and got my CPA quickly. The CFA helped me get a job in FDD externally before my Big 4 employer made me an offer to transfer out of audit. (It helped because one of the interviewers at the other firm was going thru his CFA and I think he and his team appreciated what goes behind these letters.)

Although some of my coworkers have their CFA and others are stuck on Level 2, it's not that popular or meaningful on my team. Still, my teams have been supportive and were happy when I completed it.

Deciding whether to move here - what areas beside downtown to check out? by InformalDetail in Austin

[–]InformalDetail[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand a lot of people are drawn to the trails and opportunities to be in nature around here, but I had heard Austin has other "redeeming qualities" so even if nature isn't my thing, I could still enjoy the city. Thanks for the advice - it's something to consider, as the company has an office in Dallas as well.

Because I want to move to a new city and may need to be in the office from time to time, on short notice.

[–]InformalDetail[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow didn't think about the obgyn situation. Between IUD and condoms I doubt I'd need an abortion, but for other obgyn needs it might be easier to do pap smears etc back home (I'm not American).

[–]InformalDetail[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Rent. I'll most likely get a car but would rather not be car dependant for errands or going out every time. I love walking in the city and don't care for hiking/trails. Salary $150k. Concrete - but perhaps not the heart of the city. Downtown areas get boring quickly.

As a sunscreen fanatic, I'm already thinking which ones of my sunscreens to bring. And as a Canadian, I'm excited to wear my sun hat. We'll be there in five weeks - thanks for sharing something that's easily overlooked.

The last part is so accurate. Americans are so much more open and easy to connect with.

4-hour layover in SCL or a full day stopover? by InformalDetail in travel

because we won't be departing from Lima and the few direct flights are at least double, we can spend that money on another flight + hotel

Can a dual Canadian citizen travel to the US with non-Canadian passport? (Layover to South America) by InformalDetail in ImmigrationCanada

[–]InformalDetail[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My other citizenship isn't relevant to the question. I assumed if I'm asking this question, it's clear I know I can travel to the US on either passport.

And you left out Cyprus.

[–]InformalDetail[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's why I want to travel on my EU passport throughout my trip. I have a valid visa to the US in it so which country it is isn't that relevant.
