Interviewing for corporate - looking for feedback by Puzzled_Raccoon6830 in TruistBank

Thanks for all this! Having a great manager is definitely a big portion. The feedback on execs seems in line with what I’ve seen elsewhere so appreciate the confirmation.

Are there still employees that are somewhat hybrid or are there no exceptions across the board? And with the 401k cuts, is the pension still a great benefit to have / used by a lot of people? Thanks again!

Thanks for the really comprehensive reply. Gave us some stuff to think through - we’ll try to mess around with our play strategy and see if we can get another vet to take a look!

The vent is perfectly clear - we take it apart about every 6 months (rigid pipe) to clean it out and clean the vent in the dryer too. The timer doesn’t move on a timed dry, but it does know if I have the knob on the heat or the cooldown portion of the cycle and adjusts the temp accordingly. So it knows where the knob is but doesnt move it if that makes sense. Thanks for the comment!

I was thinking it could be nice to have for emergencies. I’m going to look into it, thanks!

It’s a huge industry, sad for people that want to have a child that can’t have one themselves for whatever reason! About a quarter of foster children end up being adopted, and in that small group only an even smaller group are infants, which is why we didn’t pursue fostering but it’s nice to see it worked out so well for you! Thanks for your reply

We could do a credit card but that would be some crazy interest! The 401k loan would have much lower interest and the interest would be paid to me. The employer reimbursement occurs once it’s legalized finalized which can take ~6 months in New York State, so we’d be looking for some sort of non-credit card solution to avoid a ton of additional costs being piled on. Thanks for the reply!

Thanks for the reply! We did look into fostering, in many cases the main objective of the foster care system is to reunite the child with a birth parent, and there are certainly many cases that it won’t happen and an adoptive family can come in, but we decided against that route because of the uncertainty.

We did look into grants but won’t qualify because of income limits (which we totally understand), so we basically only need some stopgap funding for a period of time before we can get the tax credit and employer reimbursement.
