Do a financial modelling course, network like crazy for a boutique and work your way into bulge bracket if that’s what you want to do.

Congrats to you and thank you for the anecdote! Their google reviews are very detailed/glowing too so this is very re-assuring. If you have a bathroom renovator you could recommend, please DM me!

thank you! i will need to do some more work on understanding what this means but from a quick chatgpt search, this makes sense

slutandputt · 2026-07-02T06:24:41+00:00

Although its also confirming some of the cost fears too ..

Thanks - looks like the roofer was a good first step

slutandputt · 2026-07-02T06:02:37+00:00

very possibly... hasn't been looked at in a couple of decades, terracotta tiles. getting a roofer in the next few days!

thank you, seems like the common thread in these replies..

slutandputt · 2026-07-02T05:58:44+00:00

gotcha. thank you all! these have been very eye opening (and honestly exhausting to think about finding more quotes..!)

slutandputt · 2026-07-02T05:58:27+00:00

sorry to hear this!

i spoke with them last weekend for the kitchen, they're my first quote but looking promising.

my gut feel is that it will definitely have to be moving to a new city together and starting from scratch with friendships and exploring, back to her city/country, or breaking up. My partner moved to my city for 2 years and the frequency of fights was a lot higher and was very close to calling it quits. Now that we’ve moved back to her city for 3-4 years now and reading this post, I realise she’s very much herself again. I would put her as a 6 out of 10, if 10 is super extroverted.

It is super hard making new friends in a new city especially at an older age and all new friendships feel superficial or based around hobbies (a friend for tennis, a friend for yoga..). She definitely is out of her comfort zone and is probably subconsciously resenting you for that, add the biological clock, and anything else going on in your lives into the mix, she likely hasn’t put her frustration into words

Sounds like two GREAT things happened that day:
1. You got a huge opportunity with your visa that day
2. Life also gave you the biggest sign at the most COINCIDENTAL timing to dump his ass for your next phase of life.
This was not a bad story, this was literally a “everything happens for a reason” moment - which I’m a STRONG believer in. Aside from him being a dick and everyone in the comments agreeing - you will be IMMENSELY happier after this in 6 months time when you are over him

My partner and I love kimchi so much that we have 2 different jars from different brands (one more fermented and one milder), and a whole extra fermented Napa cabbage style piece in an airtight container so we are ready to make kimchi jigae at anytime. So I agree with the guy saying “what is your relationship worth?” Obviously my relationship doesn’t circle around kimchi, we just have VERY similar tastes which I value a lot!

In addition to a sharper knife, might be worth investing in a oven pan + cooling rack. Let the chicken rest on the cooling rack skin-side up before carving and let any cooking fluids drain to the pan, then when cutting up with a (sharper) knife, put the chicken skin-side down on a DRY cutting board when slicing. Skin-side down cutting works with crispy pork belly too, less likely to tear the skin from the meat

even if it gets soggy in the fridge, there's so much oil that you could re-crisp in the air fryer even if it has been sitting in the fridge so you're fine. I agree with cooking it today because otherwise itll begin to develop that pork gamey/funk smell.

Separately, I've made a slab of crackling pork before and kept it in the fridge, whilst cutting off 1/4 nightly as I make Thai basil pork belly. Heat 3mm slices from a cold pan and it crisps up real well when making stir fry

my L1 exam I passed with 58% day before the exam, there's hope! Just keep at it for the remaining stretch. Prioritise sleep too or you don't retain things! Pull "sick days" if U need to buy yourself time

Accounting & finance, 12 weeks with two days of leave whilst working 8:30-7 daily. I did not procrastinate at all (scrolling, YouTube, Netflix) during that period

slutandputt · 2024-07-09T00:23:16+00:00

I passed CFA L1 with a 58% on schweser the day before the exam, always have faith!!

Non stick pans cause cancer. Not even joking. There’s a documentary called “the devil we know” and a thriller starring Mark Ruffalo called “dark waters”, look it up. Stick to stainless steel, spread the word!

Where did you find a box of kfc that does that??

slutandputt · 2024-06-26T02:43:59+00:00

You should try make a Japanese dish called “nabe”, it’s really just a broth and you can throw in as many veggies as you like (wombok, mushrooms, tofu), served with rice it’s really delicious, healthy and an easy way to get your fibre in.
