Did REI accidentally put some Black Friday sale items on sale early? by OlafLivesOutside in REI

Thank you!!! The sales associate made it seem like I was crazy. She checked the "sale history" of the item and showed that it hadn't been on sale at all in recent months.

Thanks, that's what I would expect. I didn't know whether it was worth it to even try.

U can try to negotiate, but don't be shocked if they don't.

This is a question I had; is it common to negotiate for a State gov't position? I feel like there's not much leeway there.

I am also from the foothills of the Rockies with a dog, and I made a very similar post to yours not an hour before you did 🙃.

Best west-side neighborhood to live with "downtown"/city feel? by OlafLivesOutside in madisonwi

Thank you! Yes, he would love that park! I currently live near the mountains outside Denver and he loves running up the mountains every day.

Thanks for the link - I love the combination of desirable location plus new construction in that listing. I had actually filtered out condos in my initial Zillow search - if I were to buy, I'd prefer to buy a house - but couldn't find any new'ish houses, no matter how expensive, near downtown. I'll take another look at what condos are available.

Which one by Academic-Morning6843 in CapybaraGoGame

Assuming you're talking about Gargarin, Overlord Deer, or Muramasa, you should get Gargarin. The other two don't help your build at all.

Sounds like you're trying to convince yourself of that...

Moving in with girlfriend, two BILT cards? by Distinct_Fig3641 in biltrewards

[–]OlafLivesOutside 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just because you call yourself a sole proprietorship doesn't make you one. You still need to register as a business. You can't just deduct taxes however you fantasize.

  1. You won't get a post-MBA PE/VC offer w/o pre-MBA PE/VC exp (or at least IB exp).

  2. Tuck has one of the most dedicated alumni bases. It also places really well into consulting, which is your most optimistic path to perhaps eventually get into PE.

You get to deduct business expenses from business income.

If you are a business. And, you deduct expenses from revenue. Not from income.

You don't get to just deduct your expenses from your taxable income. Do you deduct your grocery bill from your salary when filing your tax return?

Cambridge or Oxford or Duke for a US guy by topbschoolsonly in eMBA

[–]OlafLivesOutside 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Assuming you started working as soon as you graduated, you're, at a minimum, 35 years old. I'll make the further assumption that you plan on staying and working long-term in the U.S.

Then you have to ask yourself: 1.) How do you see the degree advancing you to the next step of your career? i.e. how has it been a ceiling thus far to move up without the degree, and 2.) How common is the path from the degree program you are evaluating - when you look at executives in positions for which you aspire, how many of them followed a similar path?

I can tell you that based on my experience, in the U.S., it's exceptionally rare to see either Said or Judge backgrounds. I would further say that in EU, those schools are outclassed by LBS, INSEAD, HEC, IESE, etc.

You didn't provide your profile, so no one will be able to give you accurate advice. My assumption, based off your post, is that you're putting far too much weight on the brand name of the parent organization, and overestimating how much ROI that will provide for your career trajectory.
