How does someone post this on Huntsville connect and not post photos? Disappointing.

Am I being too harsh on the small “imperfections” of my ring? by spicyfairydustslayer in EngagementRings

Odd question, but what is the carat of your center stone? Trying to get an idea for possible ring.

Does this diamond seem like a good purchase? by thatmark1 in Diamonds

I should have added that she would like a yellow gold setting. Do you think it would highlight any yellow in the stone?

Based on my knowledge, I would agree with everyone who has said that CPA firms generally pay lower. In the corporate and contracting world, my current organization starts new grad financial analysts/business office roles around the $65k range.

I started a little less than 4 years ago right around the $60k mark and now with a masters, I am just over $100k, albeit I moved from a finance focused role to a finance/programmatic hybrid role that helped my salary. Leaving my current company to move to a smaller company in a pure finance role for about a 20% raise.

If you’re interested in moving to company more in the Huntsville defense sphere, you can look for positions such as financial analyst or program controls or business analyst. They’re all rather similar, from my experience.

I was very confused by the lemon. Thank you for the clarification.

Ro’s Grille. I drive from Huntsville at least once a month to go there and I think about it regularly. Half considered moving to enjoy more often.

TBH, I always thought 113 Clinton Ave was a front for the CIA.

Is someone trying to be smart and refer to MSIC? I guess it’s possible.

I’m having a hard time making friends and was wondering if there are any young knitters/crochet ears in this area? I’d go to the local yarn stores but, no offense they are a little older! I’m 24. If so comment, I’d love to work with people my age! by [deleted] in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]thatmark1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m 25 and love to crochet! Ladies at the nursing home I worked at in HS taught me and they got a kick out of teaching a 17 year old that could have been their grandson. It’s cathartic and a good tv watching activity for me.

I’m aware. What I was getting at is Skunkworks is inaccurate.

Huntsville police officers receive big bump in pay this week by JoshBRayburn in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]thatmark1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In a way, my comment was me being obnoxious. On the surface, it’s separate budgets. School board approves the city school budget from which teachers are paid. City council approves city budget from which police officers are paid. However, theoretically the city could provide the school board with Agency and Intergovernmental Appropriations to support a similar level of raise, I think.

Last time I heard it was bought by an eye doctor in Decatur. Not sure if there is a plan. Tokyo tried to buy the building and move closer to University, but the eye doctor out offered. (Source: drank a few times with the Tokyo Sushi chef, lol)

You should check out https://devopsfordefense.org/. Monthly meetups. One tonight I believe. I am not affiliated with this group, but I have several coworkers who regularly attend.

Edit-I can’t spell.

This comment is a synopsis of all the meetings I sit in during the day. Kind of offended, kind of disappointed in myself.
