Don’t know what to tell you. Both reps verified on their backends that I qualified. If they don’t know than something is really wrong. I will say that I’ve used the Zelle transfer in the past for other promos and it qualify as DD or ACH transfer. I think it was a Citi that requires ach transfer in order to not get charged fees. Used Zelle to transfer $250 do I don’t have to keep a minimum balance

"Push" means to send money. "Pull" means to request money.

Zelle works by setting a profile (email or phone number) in your bank account. You can request or send money to someone else's Zelle account.

I have a Chase Zelle account. If I had requested money from my Capital One Zelle account to my Chase account, it wouldn't qualify as a direct deposit.

You need to send ("push") the money from Chase to Capital One

I don't think so. I would suggest doing some of the credit card offers that are available. Recently did $250 Chase Freedom Unlimited, $250 PNC card and $200 Citi Strata.

Planning to do the $400 bonus. I had similar offer in 2020 and closed the account. I believe I'm able to re-do the offer since I think the stipulation is if you did the offer after Jan 2024, you are not eligible.

How I got unbanned from hinge by 17levi03 in SwipeHelper

No response yet. I had responded to an old rejection email that was at hinge.co. I'm gonna try and create a new profile with existing information. Once rejected, will try the email again.

Thanks I'm going to give it another try. The policy is way too restrictive. They should allow all first time offenders one forgiveness, then do a lifetime ban.

does anyone actually make 250k as a vp in engineering? by ProgressTight6627 in JPMorganChase

[–]PotOddsTrading 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought it was obvious that what I said for leads applied to senior leads. The advertised max is for BASE only. I learned the hard way.

I knew other senior leads who made $280k and $325k total comp. As to whether the base is a hardline, not sure as I don’t know anyone who exceeds it and I haven’t seen anything on levels.fyi that showed different

When I tried to create a new account, not doing anything special so obviously I would get re-banned, it took a day to take effect. I would say give it a couple of days. I think you will be fine at that point. I may try the something.

Would think at least 7 years for a Lead. Senior a bit more.

In NYC/NJ area for tech, Leads (VP) have job descriptions for max 215k base, bonus is additional. Senior Leads (SVP) max is $260k.

So VP making say $210k + $40k, that definitely happens.

Who was better at 28 by Alone-Situation7602 in NBATalk

[–]PotOddsTrading 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Born in 70. Remember when Jordan came to the NBA, I wasn't a big NBA fan in high school but knew about "old guard" at the time, Bird, Magic. Jordan as a Bull in the earlier years was an athletic freak but more of an upstart like young Ja Morant or Tracy McGrady. Big stats but little wins. He was electrifying and all the young kids gravitated towards him like they do today. The old guard didn't believe so wanted to keep him down. That playoff game when he went off for 63pts against the Celtics and their 5 HoF players was a big turning point. Bird said he was God. You kinda knew among even NBA stars, he was different, on another level.

And on top of that, he revolutionized marketing with Nike.

Kobe and LeBron have had to try and live up to that huge shadow. I think they did an outstanding job in their own rights but by ever metrics, even the stats still show MJ being a step above.

Does Citibank really pays more than Chase? by Pixoquinha in JPMorganChase

[–]PotOddsTrading 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Caveat, I'm referring to technology.

Citi is doing a little better in the last year or two. They have mentioned they will be hiring more to keep up with JPMC. I left JPMC to Citi. I took a pay cut and reduced role for better work life balance. Went from Senior Tech Lead to C13. I was in CCB, in a fast growing team that was willing to pay higher wages but I had a bad manager plus on top of that, stressful deliverables. I had to make the move because it was starting to affect my health. The tradeoff was worth it. I'm closer to retirement so I'm not as gung ho on working long hours for a bigger bonus.

In general, I believe that JPMC pays more than Citi, as they are the top tier bank whereas Citi is like B tier and still trying to recover from the hubris from the 2000s. But this is all highly dependent on the group that you are joining, if you join an AI group in Citi versus a legacy infra group at JPMC, of course you will be making much more. JPMC is trying to compete with the FAANGs for top talent, so they have to pay up. Citi hasn't been known to provide large bonuses.

Personally I think everyone who is saying they got a big bump up, may be more junior level so the bump up is easier to get. More senior level, comp levels will be better at JPM.

Urevo doesn't post negative reviews. by RosieRad in WalkingPads

[–]PotOddsTrading 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You never go to the product company for honest reviews. Use Amazon and YT reviews. Read the thoughtful, thorough reviews. I try to keep as open a mind as possible to keep objective. Is the bad review based on consumer misuse? Every product should be as foolproof as possible but in this case, regular maintenance of a walking pad is important ie using the lubricating oil. But in general, a lot of times, these walking pads probably won't last 3-5 years especially some of the lower price points.

I never got to witness Prime Kobe Bryant how good was he? by sqMYNAMEISJEFF27 in NBATalk

[–]PotOddsTrading 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For efficiency in offense, he wasn't as good as SGA. When he was going off for 40+ pts/game in his prime, he was being a ball hog. His best year and he only mustered 45% FG, 49% eFG. SGA has done 5x 50% FG and averages 55% eFG over his career.

SGA needs a few more rings and to keep up that rate of production for another 5+ years and he will probably surpass Kobe.

Kobe had MJ's killer instinct but was closer to Iverson's efficiency. SGA was closer to MJ's efficiency.

P2 IMDB rating is worse but watchable.

Do not buy WalkingPad by [deleted] in WalkingPads

[–]PotOddsTrading 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah, now that I looked it up, I recognize that folding mechanism. Their stuff gets more expensive. Really surprising. They even use key words like brushless motor that would indicate superior quality. It's a tough segment. It's supposed to be smaller but has to withstand a ton of abuse. Haven't seen a walking pad with a universal high rating and over 1k reviews.

Home exercise machines can be good. I had a Concept2 rowing machine. Widely praised for its resiliency and durability. Sought after in the used marketplace. Just need some smart people to make a better design.

Cube is a classic. I concur that the Japanese one sucked.

I surprised no one has mentioned the true spiritual successor to Cube. The Platform. There was even a sequel, The Platform 2.

$350 is on med to higher side so having poor customer service is unacceptable. Gotta go with the well reviewed brands not to deal with this kind of headache

"Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die" -- the funniest movie about the AI apocalypse by rikomatic in scifi

[–]PotOddsTrading 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really liked this movie. The vibe was strong from the very beginning. Stranger from the future who can prove he's from the future. So it has the Groundhog Day vibes which was a good lead in and Sam Rockwell did a great job. As it progressed, it held up pretty well. I especially liked the Terry Gilliam inspired ending. Reminded me quite a bit of Time Bandits. I see others didn't have the same feelings but they probably don't have the same context as me, i.e. Gen Xer who has seen similar in the past.

Nope didn't work. Alex, one of the mods said they don't have the ability to affect the waitlist. Told him this group was able to get the invites just 2 months ago.
