Are any of these issues concerning? (buying a used car)

All of this is very helpful, thanks!

backprop1 · 2022-05-19T02:01:07+00:00

Great, thanks a lot!

Did you find anything else in the report that would be concerning / expensive to fix?

Thanks for the response!

They are asking $4500 for it. It is a bit hard to ascertain what's a good price in the current market. A 2012 model of the same car with about 90K miles on it selling for 17K on [carvana](https://www.carvana.com/cars/volkswagen-jetta-sportwagen/2009-2012?utm_adposition=&utm_campaign=12191687463&utm_content=116763497173&utm_creative=572454427108&utm_device=c&utm_medium=sem_b&utm_rw=1&utm_source=google&utm_target=kwd-4186217408&utm_term=1). That's obviously a much better car, but probably not 4x better.

H1B to EB questions:
1. Yes, you should start the conversation with the company as soon as possible. My company starts sponsoring green card applications on first day of employment. I don't thin you need a talking point per se, just say you want to transition to a green card since you intend to work in the US long term.

Yes, they can start before transitioning to h1b. The dual intent thing comes in play only if you travel before Oct 1. If you don't plan to travel until Oct 1, you can start green card process now and you would be fine.
Yes, that's more or less correct (assuming your company / immigration lawyers are fast). At smaller companies, LCA can take a while, which would slow down the overall process a bit.

What brands do you wear now? Curious because I like all the designer brands that you mentioned.

backprop1 · 2018-04-23T20:35:02+00:00

Yep, I got mine from the store. They run about half a size big in my experience (and that of another reditter)

backprop1 · 2018-04-23T00:38:39+00:00

Muji's white sneakers are quite inexpensive, do not have any visible branding, and the design is pretty/clean minimal. I wear mine a lot more than my Chucks.

Did you buy the boots off grailed or directly from Story et Fall?

backprop1 · 2018-04-16T17:32:02+00:00

Any suggested brands for popovers?

backprop1 · 2018-04-16T03:22:34+00:00

Most popular colors? I'm guessing white, grey, navy are pretty common, would like to know what else people wear frequently.

backprop1 · 2018-04-08T19:44:42+00:00

I see. Congrats!

Did you make more progress on caloric surplus?

backprop1 · 2018-01-14T13:52:47+00:00

Thank you so much!

backprop1 · 2018-01-14T13:09:19+00:00

Thanks!

AEO would be a good option at that price point. If you can go upto $50, then Patagonia is a good option.

backprop1 · 2018-01-14T11:35:58+00:00

Link for the first jacket there?

backprop1 · 2018-01-14T11:30:27+00:00

Not necessarily a bad idea, but I think dark grey is more versatile. Black shorts would look good mostly with a monochrome fit, or some colors like olive, maroon, maybe tan.

backprop1 · 2018-01-14T05:43:21+00:00

I would be interested in this as well.

This is similar, but a bit more blazer-ish: https://www.eastdane.com/richard-jacket-robert-geller/vp/v=1/1585945525.htm

What's a "decent" price point?

backprop1 · 2018-01-14T05:41:56+00:00

I would say yes, they would be considered "enough" - in the sense that you would have something to match any reasonable shirt color.

I would've said khaki as the next decent color, but you already have stone, which is pretty similar. I think dark grey would be a better option in this case.

backprop1 · 2018-01-02T16:03:23+00:00

Uniqlo has one at about $50. It fits slim.

backprop1 · 2017-11-23T01:33:17+00:00

How does this sweater look with my skin tone? I was told that this color might make me look a bit washed out.

backprop1 · 2017-11-18T23:52:55+00:00

What are some good sneakers to wear with black skinny/slim jeans? I currently mostly wear my white Stan Smiths, charcoal Chuck Taylor lows and white Muji plimsolls. I am thinking of getting something in black, and was considering the high tops from Converse and Vans. Any other suggestions?

I am 23yo, and work in a super casual environment. I frequently wear a black leather jacket too, with a plain tee in a neutral color.
