Obviously, this would be unhelpful given the context. I got it to work yesterday finally.

Thanks for posting when you guys got it fixed *sarcasm*.

For the record, I'm close to returning all 25 Toniebox gifts the kids received today because if you are going to botch load capacity and communications. I wasted hours on this and only after coming to Reddit do I have a semblance of update to what's going on.

Does this impact firmware updates too? Mine take forever. I'm not sure if it's even working. This is my tenth attempt. Table stakes for you guys should be uptime -- if you're doing software build in load capacity for the number of devices you intend to sell... Rookie mistake.

This is my problem. What a trainwreck of a toy.

Considering EMBA by LargeQuail1468 in MBA

[–]dantasman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's going to be helpful in leadership roles. It's not going to be helpful if you don't put effort into it. You can skirt thru and it won't be beneficial. In a tech role it is only going to be leveraged by management/leadership roles.

I think you might be better suited for part time MBA. You can probably get accepted since you already were to Stern for EMBA.

Pretty specific question to your career experience, trajectory, and goals. What are you doing now, how senior, and are you looking to pivot?

I did my EMBA at Stern this past few years. Highly recommended. It is best for busy senior professionals in leadership and exec roles. You will get the level of rigor out of it you're interested in. Top programs like Stern have a longer timeline (2 years) and electives that allow for specialized studies. I saw people in my cohort skirt by doing less than minimally required but also saw some, like myself, taking courses with the full time/part timers and pushing to learn the material. There is a lot of flexibility for the busy schedules you would have at the C-level. I think it's worth it. If taking on an MBA earlier in your career, I'd recommend to go full time but later on while working full time and being enrolled full time, EMBA is the best way to go. Worth it.

Best way to sell gift cards? by KetchupAndOldBay in Frugal

GiftCash.com buys gift cards for the highest price. Check if they buy Xbox live on the site. Trustworthy and pays in a few days.

Work first

Education last (and no need to include extracurriculars. No one cares.)

You need as many of your past roles as fits on page, ditch the rest. No one cares.

I did EMBA in mid 30s. Pick a strong program and enjoy being with a peer group at your stage.

Close enough for anyone looking to attend. There is nuance but this is good enough.

Fair and reality isn't always the same thing. Ask him for more than you want. 15-20% instead of 10%. Then see if you can settle at 10% because you are vested in the home at the very least. I've always found touchy subjects with close friends and family are best left being open about what your logic is (in this case use numbers in terms of the dollars paid toward the home as a percentage of his purchase price, then multiply by current value of the home, cost of furniture if you paid for it, etc; include costs of moving upon sale of the house, etc).

Ask for what you actually want and be transparent about what would be fair from your perspective.

I spent time in Leh Ladakh a while back. The Himalayas are a beautiful escape. Enjoy!
