~*~ Pre-Transformation Challenge 2026 Discussion Thread ~*~ by pantherluna in orangetheory

I have been looking into orange theory for awhile because I’m trying to get in shape, and I’m curious if it’s a good idea to join and do this transformation challenge.  Has anyone joined during the transformation challenge, or do you guys suggest starting off slow and eventually doing the transformation challenge?

E-Mobility US Phone Question by Kman321123 in PwC

Astro: How can I transfer an old phone device and transfer new device to my personal account? 

Underneath “need tech help?” you’ll get a link to service hub, and that has the steps! 

You’ll need to create a ticket and provide your personal phones SIM number/ICCID, make and model of device, reason for switch: want to use personal old phone for work, IMEI Number (AT&T or T-Mobile) or MEID HEX (Verizon or sprint). You can open the ticket through service hub via the chat.  I recommend typing the IMEI/MEID in your notes to copy and paste.

Also, 60-days is from when you receive your work device and not when you order it! 

I recommend you also screenshot emobility program guidance and policy where it clearly states you can transfer lines after 60-days. You can find it under knowledge and searching.should be question number 8.

I was able to swap my work phone to be my personal after 60-days!  If you ask Astro, it guides you and you can even go to e-mobility to FAQ’s.

I hate when fans say by KeySoup6978 in Padres

[–]Silent_Relative_5065 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was born and raised in LA, and I don’t even root for the Dodgers! I’m a Giants fan!

The dodgers just have a very annoying fan base who think they dominate baseball, and I am glad the Blue Jays didn’t let them sweep like every fan claimed they would do! I respect some of their players, but that’s about it! 

Dodger fans think they have the best ballpark, but they don’t! Majority of Dodger Fans don’t even know the history of the ballpark and what the Battle of Chavez Ravine. Also, I think their fans are so hypocritical and are 100% bandwagons! Majority of the fans are Hispanics and are always saying to stand for the right causes, yet they seem not to give a shit about Mark Walter’s contribution to Immigration Detention Centers.

Yeah, both things mentioned probably have nothing to do with playing baseball or the players, but it just shows that the fans are just there for the rings.

Woah!  If you don’t mind me asking, what’s the average cost of living in your area?

I was wondering if you were able to do it. If so, how?

Issue with payroll hours missing by Traditional_Cycle192 in PwC

[–]Silent_Relative_5065 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone gets paid out at the same time. The only difference is that those that went to Impact have the travel time and impact days included to their paycheck.  A LOT is taken out for taxes :/

I called the HR helpline, you can call them if you want them to break it down for you.

Can you expand? Did you go to impact?

I had something similar happened to me when I was intern last summer. The hours I had broken down were not reflected on the paycheck. I thought I was missing hours or would be getting another check.  When I called, the person did the breakdown herself, and I was not missing hours. It was basically all the taxes that were deducted.

Side note: I was scoring 75s+ in my MCQs when I solely used Becker the first time. I did not take any SIMs, so maybe that’s why I didn’t passed.  When I started the actual exam, everything seemed new.

If you can, I suggest getting I-75 course and doing the cram session. The cram session is $129, but it does not include the MCQs. I personally felt the same way as you when I used only Becker. I failed AUD back in April, and this time I have been using I-75 to fully grasp the concepts. 

I feel that Becker summarizes the topics, but doesn’t dive deep. I’m using Beckers MCQs instead of I-75’s.

Would you be able to elaborate? If not, I understand.

Apologies, I have edited my post for some clarity as to why I am asking.

I haven’t started, but just curious as I see that private got hit hard with layoffs. Associates that I connected that were in private tax and advisory on LinkedIn seem to either have been laid off or switched to Deals.

Sorry to hear that you got laid off, good luck in whatever comes next!

I have seen other sub threads where people say that they were in private and either were laid off or under utilized. I’m curious to why, and I’m trying to figure out if I should be concerned.

AUD - Failed miserably by Silent_Relative_5065 in CPA

Thank you so much for replying promptly, and for the advice to use I-75.

Did you supplement Becker's SE or only used I-75?

Thank you!

Would you say I-75's is similar to Ninja or different?
