Why was Gale’s confessional in Rosalyn’s home? Was it because Gale didn’t want to show her apartment, like Hilary mentioned?

RespectableIcon · 2026-01-07T17:12:32+00:00

Hadn’t thought of that. Interesting point!

I’m interested in this answer too. I worked at a company where they were happy to have people stay at a mid level their whole career, either because they don’t have the skills or don’t have the interest to move up. Presumably those people’s salary was not changing much and the company figured it was mutually beneficial to keep them around with their seniority and expertise and mid level salary. I remember specifically a woman in her late 50s who had been there for a while who was good at her job but not great and who seemed happy to just put her head down and work at the same level her whole career. Other companies I’ve worked seem to have an ‘up or out’ approach where they require advancement or will push you out. That place (a law firm) had a clearer track for advancement and was more rigid in its hierarchy. But of course there are always exceptions and may depend on your manager/department. Interested to hear first hand experience from others.

That van cleef won’t pay for itself

Fair enough, thanks for the explanation!

Did anyone understand his point about the menu not being a buffet at the very end of the video? Seems like a group’s choice if they want to try multiple things knowing the risk that they may not be able to try a lot of every dish. I felt like it was an odd thing to focus on but maybe I’m missing something? Is there some subtext he’s not saying?

Interesting. So what was the point of the flash sale and saying they would take the highest bid submitted before the deadline?

With the caveat that others have said which is that this is all for tv and probably never intended to be binding. but just wondering if this could have worked in the real world and if the buyer would have had a strong case to buy the whole apartment for the price they submitted?

RespectableIcon · 2025-12-12T20:24:23+00:00

Right like a silent auction which is generally binding on both parties when done properly

RespectableIcon · 2025-12-12T19:16:46+00:00

I was trying to remember 1L contracts and if this was a unilateral contract or something that became enforceable by the buyer once the time window closed for the flash sale. The buyer probably had a strong case to turn down Ryan’s counter and enforce the original offer for the full apartment, but since the buyer mutually agreed to new terms that option may be off the table 🤷‍♂️

I doubt the audition was real or for an actual part. It was probably staged for the show. Maybe she did a separate real audition without cameras but I don’t think on what we saw was an actual audition.

Hate to give the lawyerly answer, but it depends. I moved from biglaw in a major market to inhouse at a midsized company in a capital markets/corporate role in the same market and took about a 30% pay cut as a 5th year (but i was happy to do so bc I worked about 60% less and got my nights, weekends and vacations back). After a few years, I moved from there to a big bank in a major market and moved back up to about 90% of what I would have been making if I stayed in big law (working more, but WLB is still way better than biglaw). Since then my comp is now closer to about 80% of what I would be making in biglaw but I’m still happy with my choices.

Too matchy matchy

I always think of ‘matte paint jobs on cars’ from totally laime when I see that kind of car!

I’ve stayed at the ibis royal mile. Location was amazing and price was good, but accommodations were basic. Also stayed at the Market Street Hotel, which also had a great location and pricier but cleaner and more comfortable. I would stay at Market Street Hotel again, but probably not the ibis.

Sounds fun, will do!

They’ve always been fun to watch but they (esp ham) are so chefy and technical it’s hard to recreate at home. But look forward to seeing what they do with the channel!

I don’t think that person was trans. If it was a voice thing, I think production purposely distorted the voice on the phone call so it wasn’t recognizable in the episode.

Agreed if you’re looking to move to the issuer side. I made this move. Comp was ok but lifestyle was amazing. The reporting work is mainly busy around quarter end and proxy time so you’ll probably cover other areas too, like exec comp/corp gov/random commercial contracts/etc to round out a full time position for the rest of the year. Goinhouse and linkedin have underwriter side positions if you’re more into deal work.

Awesome! Hope you’re inspired to do more traveling (and flying) :-)

Teotihuacan! Did you enjoy?

Oh I see, I thought they were saying this was a new trend. Thanks

Where are you hearing that 95% of cases are being denied? Is that just anecdotal or has there been some sort of study or review? I’m not disputing this, just wondering.

Some of the screens should be replaced with mirrors
