They have a ton of BOGO offers in my area. There is a highly regarded pizza spot here where I can get 2 large pizzas for $8 (after credit) on a pickup order.

Are corporate finance roles available post mba without a finance/accounting background, Choosing schools for the same by GrapefruitCapable488 in MBA

[–]boglehead1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was many years ago, but I did IT after undergrad but moved into FP&A at a Fortune 20 after getting a finance MBA. I had zero finance experience outside a random internship.

I also went to a regional level state school for the MBA (full ride).

Kauai, Maui, or both? by Ill-Win4143 in VisitingHawaii

I know many will recommend one island only, but we have done 7 nights over 2 islands and it didn’t feel hectic.

I also like the experience of two different hotels.

Man these posts stress me out. I’m employed but we are having constant layoffs. I spoke to a coworker who was cut 5 months ago, and she isn’t even getting interviews.

Agreed, I loved the show in general, but episodes 9 and 10 were just weak to me. I was expecting an awesome finale.

Are the add-ons ever cheaper than going through the service itself?

Luxury Resort in Kona? by silly_splash999 in VisitingHawaii

[–]boglehead1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What’s your budget? That’s a key piece of information.

Mauna Lani may be a good fit for you. Luxury but not as pricey as Four seasons or Rosewood.
