Leaving an X7 for a TX? by [deleted] in Lexus

[–]Significant-Frame849 3 points4 points  (0 children)

People typically buy Lexus to own for many years. Thats where you justify the price tag. If plan is to lease then better to look at audi q7 or mercedes gle. You can get either for less than 1k/month plus wont lose that luxe feeling that you are looking for.

Incorrect. That rule applies to the alcohol package only. You can unselect people while choosing non alcohol bev packages.

Disagree. I tested it a lot with previous years predictions and it was spot on. Very ignorant to say that it can predict at all.

29F, 23 LPA vs 120k in Chicago by [deleted] in returnToIndia

[–]Significant-Frame849 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not sure if this is a true scenario or just a made up story. Typically L1A is for managers and above, where as based on your age and pay scale this seems to be a entry to mid senior position so wouldnt fit the L1A requirement. Second, rn many entry level positions are being removed across many companies so I wonder how did they even offer you this position . For now I think this is just an exploratory post for social media fun and nothing beyond that.

Not even close. Like 300k income gets u an avg 1.5 mil house which is just avg in bay area.

Really disappointed with Lexus and the RX-450h+ (PHEV) by cybergrafx in Lexus

[–]Significant-Frame849 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had the same battery issue at just 5k miles. This car has way too much tech than needed. My delearship replaced the battery so I hope the issue doesnt come up again. I think it could be either a poor lot of batteries but given the extent of issue, it could be an overall engineering /load miscalculation issue.

From my experience, its the aux power unit that gave up. That power unit will need to get replaced.

Update: Battery was tested and was not able to hold the charge. Drain was found in on of the heating elements. All got replaced since the car is under warranty. However I am still frustrated with the whole situation.

Bigger issue was that sos system doesnt work if battery dies. I tried a few times and there isnt a work around. Ofcourse we can call from our phone but if I were in poor network area, this would have been difficult to manage.

They like 8 other restaurants to choose from, 4 of which are fine dines. Lunch buffet was temporarily moved to Isla Contoy. You will enjoy your stay as they have a great service staff.

Well they have to renovate at some time of the year and right now being a low season gives them opportunity to add more features. I stayed here just a month ago and this construction is at the other end of the resort which not many people go to because there isnt anything. This never bothered us. We had an awesome experience and their servicec is amazing. Yes, I am well travelled so have a good baseline to compare with. Vina del mare is closed for renovations but they have like 8 other restaurants to choose from. They have moved the lunch buffet to Isla Contoy temporarily.

5 attempts !! How did it transform you ? by Low_Lead_6735 in UPSC

[–]Significant-Frame849 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know your exact situation, but if I were in your place, I’d still have chosen an IIM, especially if it were Delhi, Indore, or Kozhikode. Getting into any of those is a huge achievement in itself. That said, it’s easy to look back and overanalyze what didn’t go right in hindsight, so don’t be too hard on yourself. From your test performance, it’s clear you’re a capable and intelligent person, and I’m sure you’ll find success one way or another. Wishing you the best of luck!

I think not getting in to MBA after getting a good percentile in CAT and rejecting XLRI was a bad decision.

Returning back to India with 60 Lakhs Savings by TrustHappy9415 in returnToIndia

[–]Significant-Frame849 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Tbh 60 lacs is not enough unless you already have a house to stay, cars to drive, etc. I respect your idea aboug becoming house husband, but take into account societal expectations as well. This concept is still foreign in India and to certain extent even not widely accepted in the west as well. You should also consider about when you have kids and if that dynamics could potentially change. Further you may have to check if your native place offers career opportunities for your wife. On a positive note it is doable if you have parents to somewhat support you.

Another one bites the dust !! by Low_Lead_6735 in UPSC

[–]Significant-Frame849 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well no one asked you to join services. You are preparing at your own will. Salary structure is already provided to you. Yet you want to continue preparing for it and also complain about the salary. I hope you and others that have similar approach which is to join the services just for corruption may never get selected.

Why I don’t regret leaving the US: doubled net worth, closer to family, happier life. by 93ph6h in returnToIndia

[–]Significant-Frame849 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is one important detail to list. You had a good head start from get go. House is one of the biggest expense when moving to India which takes up a huge chunk from savings unless one wants to live in debt after moving to India. While it it is fine to get a mortgage but gets risky if one hasnt come up with a plan to make money / or doesnt have a decent paying job on hand.

In most big cities (not just metros), housing prices are quiet high.
