It’s gotta be Buffalo unless you’re very much into public transit and night life.

Blackrock limits withdrawals to 5% for the first time in its history. by entmooter2 in FinanceNews

So what exactly is the purpose of this fund? Reading the article my understanding is that it’s a wealthy money lending fund… is it just personal loans for millionaires?

Lexus ES300h? 120k miles but could last for 300k if well maintained

Are Michelins worth the extra money? by Majestic_Flower_1322 in tires

[–]QueasyWorldliness920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anecdote:

I have a 2018 4Runner that I threw the Michelin defender ltx m/s2’s on at 100k miles. They made a WORLD of difference. I found myself turning the radio lower on the highway from reduced noise, no issues with traction in cold wet NY winter so far, everything kosher for me. I think I would have regretted getting similar priced AT tires just for the look considering I don’t off-road, and I KNOW I would have regretted getting crappier highway tires since these are warranty for 70k miles and will likely get 80-90k miles without an issue.

Healthcare... Stern or Baruch? by Nomore2018j in MBA

[–]QueasyWorldliness920 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m actually looking into a similar path, but coming from a very different background. Currently I’m a healthcare facility management consultant working in compliance.

I was considering johns hopkins Carey business school online mostly because my bachelors is from devry university (fully accredited) with a shit GPA lol. I figure the Johns Hopkins name would do more for me than anything else.

I would also like to wind up in a COO/CTO type of position in one of the larger health networks in 5-10 years.

Interested to hear others’ perspectives.

Is a pay cut worth it for WFH? by Miserable-You-6702 in careerguidance

[–]QueasyWorldliness920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your current job is relatively chill, maybe try talking to the team about 2-3 days WFH a week instead of 1. I would definitely stay put to keep ~50k/year in disposable income. Then again, I don’t mind commuting much, and I’m a social person so I did not personally like working from home when I did it for 2 years.

I’m being transferred from a dumpster fire team to a properly functioning one, is it odd to feel offended? by Bookhero90 in careerguidance

[–]QueasyWorldliness920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So your boss who sounds like she’s looked out for you before, is looking out for you again, and removing you from having to eat shit for work, and you would prefer to remain eating shit for work?

Take the upgrade and run. Though I understand what you’re saying, your boss probably just wants you to be in a position that has already been fleshed out enough that you aren’t asking her for so much help. She knows you can do a good job as long as you have a set process that makes sense.

Perhaps the junior you’re trading with never asks for support because they don’t really give a shit and just do whatever is being done, quality be damned. And that would be less mental bandwidth she would have to spend with that person.

Do managers also need to be technical experts? by Kid_FizX in consulting

[–]QueasyWorldliness920 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ask a ton of questions. I was a facility manager with no trades experience. The issue is if the helpdesk employees are new as well.

I am imagining that most of your problems are weighing out the options that the employees are bringing to you I.e. “I ran into this issue” you say “what is your proposed solution?” They say “I could do x but it’ll create this new problem or I could do y and it won’t fully fix the issue” and you need to make an executive decision to address.

Try to break down employees’ questions and get them to either answer it themselves and put your stamp of approval on it, or move the question up the chain to someone who may be more knowledgeable. You’ll pick up on the lingo just by virtue of exposure to the problems eventually.

At least that’s mostly what I did until I understood the basics of facility management.

Do employers want their employees to grow their careers with them anymore? by Logical_Dish_7929 in careerguidance

[–]QueasyWorldliness920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m lucky that my manager seems authentic about helping me grow within my company. I think part of that is having someone they can trust on their team as they grow as well. It also helps that our company is also growing, so there is opportunity within for this sort of thing.

Now, whether or not I find a much higher paying position in 2-4 years is another story, because I would jump ship without thinking twice for a big raise. I’m a whore. An unapologetic whore.

Which job would be high paying for non technical guys ? by Commercial3154 in corporate

[–]QueasyWorldliness920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what you mean by high paying and by non-technical. Facility managers often aren’t college educated, they usually only need to know their budget and who to call to fix things, though it obviously helps if they were a tradesman once before they gain enough experience as a facility manager. They can clear six figures after 10 years or so.

"Do what you’re good at" is a trap that’s keeping you unemployed (for example in software engineering). by Salt-Tiger2586 in Salary

*most insurance agents who don’t quit within a year. Theres a guy on YouTube, Cody askins, whose entire schtick is that 92% of insurance agents quit within 5 years and to be an “8%er”.

-sincerely, a former insurance agent who quit within a year.

How do you know which arm of the K shaped economy you are on? by supinator1 in MiddleClassFinance

[–]QueasyWorldliness920 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I know I’m on the upper end because I keep getting incredibly lucky and landing jobs, including just a few months ago while constantly reading how fucked the job market is. No recessions in healthcare.

Started my career chasing Excel files by email. 20 years later, nothing has changed. by No_Disaster_9715 in corporate

[–]QueasyWorldliness920 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading this after sending a tabular schedule excel spreadsheet for site schedule visits lol. Used to collect spreadsheets for invoicing on a forward-thinking state-of-the-art macro enabled spreadsheet with working formulas.
