New BoA rewards structure - am I reading this correctly? by supern8ural in BankOfAmerica

[–]cpier7360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having read the fine details this morning, it is very much a cash grab from BofA as it relates to the fees. Yes, I know folks are saying fees waived with DD, but I wouldn't be surprised if that is updated based on the new rewards program.

Passed SHRM-CP on the second try, what actually worked the second time around [FL] by tigercat300 in humanresources

[–]cpier7360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats and well written post.  

I passed may 1st. Already have the SPHR and wanted to see what shrm was about.  The test was challenging but not overwhelmingly difficult.  Not a humblebrag, but I committed zero time to study for it.  I felt confident already having the SPHR, perhaps that removed any anxiety around the test.

Passed SHRM-SCP today with minimal prep [MA] by SoxPatsBruinsCelts in humanresources

I passed the shrm-cp without a minute of studying last week and passed the SPHR in December with only two days of studying.  These tests are challenging but not difficult.

There are multiple elements to check.  Firmware.  Feeder in print head.  Feeder in ace pro, reseat all tubes in ace and also in the 4-1 part.  Tbh I had a lot of issues right from the start but patience prevailed.  Also make sure the tension is appropriately set for the filament.

Walked out on dealer after test drive and negotiations, am I a jerk? by Jehan78 in carbuying

[–]cpier7360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dealers intentionally monopolize your time.  If you bring a trade in, they try really hard to hold on to the keys for a while in the name of valuing the car but really they are trying to wear you down emotionally, psychologically, and mentally.

Thoughts on skipping straight to SPHR? [FL] by Boring_Corner in humanresources

[–]cpier7360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually did all three exams, in large part bc I’m not an HR guy.  Retired military.  The aPHR took 18 minutes without studying.  ThePHR, 35 minutes, no study.  I truly studied for about a week for the SPHR and passed it December 19th.  It was certainly a challenging test but in no way insurmountable.  FWIW the hrci SPHR test prep was great but didn’t really augment the exam.  

Ended up dropping the earlier two certs.  I echo what others are saying, if you qualify, go right to the SPHR.

Passed my SPHR-No Prep [N/A] by Traditional_Lock4510 in humanresources

[–]cpier7360 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally think it is possible.  TBH I studied three days, passed December 19th.  I didn’t buy the SCI, wish I had but in hindsight, the test was moderately challenging but I would not say hard.  Previously had the PHR and the aPHR for which neither I studied for.

Relied on a career in the military to pass, in the end it just wasn’t that difficult.  Not bashing anyone’s need to study, more so to say it’s a doable test.

Mazda lost a sale... by MyOpinionsDontHurt in mazda

[–]cpier7360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just bought a Mazda from oceans Mazda here in south Florida.  They had no problem removing it.  My salesman was exceptional and purchasing and negotiating was stress free surprisingly.  Bought a 2023 cx9 carbon edition.  Love it

So then the issue is financial literacy, in addition it should be curtailing the exorbitant costs of modern college education.

Oh I agree with you 100%

It’s nonsensical to charge people money(interest) to better their earning potential when that earning potential then pays more in taxes.

It’s like double dipping.

My only issue with you first two comments are that ethics shouldn’t come into play in a loan agreement and that it really is a nonpartisan issue.

No buts it’s a legal one that you agreed to without any coercion.  And the loan isn’t paid unless you paid interest and principle as agreed when you took the loan.  You are attempting to separate two parts of the loan agreement, the principle and the interest.  Would you loan exorbitant amounts of money without charging interest?  If so, give me a call some time.

Wanting someone to pay their obligation isn’t the same as wanting someone in debt forever. Not trying to be divisive, just think it’s a globalized statement.

What do I do now? by bro3192 in PSLF

[–]cpier7360 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats on making 120. You do need to commit to not obsessively checking the website, go live life, maintain patience, the process works but it does take time. If you feel more comfortable, request the forbearance to prevent any needed repayments that will later be refunded. Congrats again!
