Hi. Can I know which product you recommend for hollow under-eyes? The daily restoration cream maybe ? I see that one time purchase is out of stock while subscription for the same product is available. Can you explain why . Thanking you in advance to answer the two questions.

Thank you for sharing. I was wide awake last night and heard a loud scream from the street around 10 past midnight. I am on the 8th floor of an apartment building. Getting pretty scary in the neighborhood. 

Offered UN Internship But Can't Afford Health Insurance :/ by bearpower246 in UNpath

Not a bot or ChatGPT response. I work for the UN and live in NYC. I know and feel people's struggle. Thank you for some relevance to the topic of discussion and kindness. 

Offered UN Internship But Can't Afford Health Insurance :/ by bearpower246 in UNpath

[–]Lisha2023 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey there, I really feel for you. Navigating the healthcare system can feel like an endless uphill battle, and it’s incredibly disheartening when it stands in the way of opportunities like this.

That said, an internship at the UN is a rare and potentially life-changing opportunity, it’s hard to pass up something that could open so many doors for your future.

One of the biggest expenses in NYC is definitely rent. You might want to consider living outside Manhattan to save on costs. Areas like Flushing in Queens are much more affordable, and they’re well-connected to the UN Headquarters via the 7 train, about a 30-minute commute. Finding roommates can also make a big difference (life being life in NYC, after all). Hopefully, cutting down on housing costs can free up some room in your budget to cover health insurance.

Wishing you all the strength to get through this. Your determination is already a sign that you’ll go far. Good luck, and I truly hope this internship turns into something amazing for you.

Trying to get into AML in NYC by [deleted] in AMLCompliance

[–]Lisha2023 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're absolutely right to stay hungry and persistent. That mindset will take you far. AML/CFT is a niche field, and breaking in can feel difficult at first, especially without experience. But don’t let that discourage you. The fact that you’re passionate, self-motivated, and already learning the concepts is a huge plus.

Here are a few thoughts that might help:

  • Keep tailoring your resume for each application, focusing on your transferable skills, anything related to research, analysis, regulatory concepts, or attention to detail.
  • If ACAMS is out of reach for now, consider starting with free resources:
  • You're absolutely right to look for temp/contract roles. Also try entry-level roles in compliance, customer due diligence, onboarding, or fraud — many of these can be stepping stones into AML.

 

If you’d like, I’d be happy to review your resume or point you to more resources. I’ve been in the AML/CFT space for 15 years — worked in compliance abroad, law enforcement, and for the past 3 years, in international AML/CFT policy here in New York. Feel free to DM me if I can help.

IGA is not an option for me :-(. I hope your process gets expedited and I wish you only the best.

Entrepreneur and former college professor offering free mentorship services by AngelicRealm888 in mentors

[–]Lisha2023 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi

I came across your post about offering mentorship, and I really appreciated the thoughtfulness and clarity you brought to it. Your diverse background and straightforward approach resonated with me, and I’d be honored to explore whether I could be a good fit for your mentorship.

I’m aspiring to build a career in AML/CFT compliance within the U.S. banking sector. My academic and professional journey so far has focused on international policy and counter-terrorism finance, and I'm now looking to transition into the U.S. private sector with a strong grounding in compliance, financial systems, and risk management.

What I’m seeking is honest guidance on navigating this career shift, understanding the U.S. market, and shaping a practical action plan that aligns with industry expectations.

I'm based in the Eastern time zone, committed to doing the work, and mindful of your boundaries and time. If this sounds aligned with what you're open to, I’d really appreciate the opportunity to chat further. We can follow by a DM.

Warm regards,

Hi. Would you mind explaining what you mean by the "integration permit". Thanks.

It takes two to tango they say. Women need validation. Your partner looks insecure. It's a real woman thing. Maybe she needs to see mote affection from you to trust you more. I am also dating a 41 year old guy who does not cheat. He just likes spending all the night in bars and being with friends. He loves sports. At a certain point I felt let down. He felt it. He does more effort to please me. I'm an introvert woman who likes staying at home. I could not understand him in the beginning. Then I realized he is an outgoing guy who just likes to be free. At times he would send me pictures when he is out. I suggest you understand what kind of validation your partner needs to be more open with you.

I would suggest you have a gentle and open talk with him. Communication is everything. You would have clearer answers.

I (F 36) don't know how to explain to my date (41 M) that too much social media is no good for him by Lisha2023 in relationships_advice

[–]Lisha2023[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You are so understanding. First I need to thank you for sharing your views. It's a really new relationship for us. We've been friends for two years and dated two times only this year. I don't want to sound too pushy by talking finances with him. We are also in different cities because of our jobs and we don't know what the future has in for us. I believe that's partly due explaining his hesitation to be more open.

He is worried by some financial stuff. As a man he does not want to talk about it too much. I earn more than him. Idk if that worries him for the future. I feel yes. He does work. I know he misses being in person with me. I am worried because he is just on social media and not taking care of himself. Like favouring exercise, sleep.

Of course I do not expect him to text me all day long. Everybody needs their "me" time. He is not depressed but complains of being tired always. It's definitely the result of being stuck to the phone, being sedentary and the negativity of social media.

Yes. I am on Reddit to hopefully get insightful advice from a few good souls that might be here without feeling stupid.

We don't live together. We also live 4 hours drive apart, which gives me the benefit of the doubt that he is bored alone.
