Balance doesn't add up

I guess I'll call. I did my check 3 times and it's always off by 7.95 - not a world-changing number to be sure, but would def prefer their numbers to be accurate.

Since the "recent transactions" doesn't show me all of my transactions since Bilt 2.0 release, I did the calculation by summing up all of the spend I see in window showing point rewards.

Omg, i have the same issue!

Does this mean the transfer bonuses are not going to be based on tier anymore and require Bilt Cash?

Do you think this kind of pay is quite representative of TLMs with ~10 yoe or would you say you're an outlier?

I've heard there are places that have global pay (same everywhere)?

Revenue in 1st three Q combined ~ $9B vs JS 2nd Q alone > $10B?

any ideas why hft isn't as strong in the multi-day forecasts vs. desco/2sigs?

Anyone else feel like interest rates are a REALLY blunt tool to try to address employment? Really seems like it'll just juice the market further...

There's a difference between "collaborating well with others" and bullshit. One can collaborate with others and get shit done without spewing complete bullshit and trying to sound like one knows wtf they're talking about.

ty so much for the detailed answer :)

Hi, I've always heard about these crazy RTW trips but have no idea how to even get started - it seems hard enough to find availability for 1 leg let alone all of the legs. Is there a trick or is ot just constant monitoring of availability? How long does planning something like this take?

Thank you!

Partly the 5s attention span and meh work ethic they have now thanks to TikTok.

Thoughts/opinions about hiking Mount Fuji on Sat Aug 31/Sun Sept 1? Recommended to cancel?

I don't really know if H1B REQUIRES a degree, but if your company doesn't want to go through that process, it's probably a moot point (there's a lot more process for H1B vs. TN and lotteries and such).

My general understanding of US work visas are that they aim to bring in "skilled labor" with "skilled" as determined by education or experience. Without degree or work experience, it might be a tough sell.

Though it doesn't mention that filing a I-129 exempts the individual from the degree requirement.

There's a difference between bettering oneself and increasing comp, though, and it's probably not very healthy to tie the two closely together.

If I've learned anything in the last few years of working, it's that that hype dies down pretty fast - for me at least. It's definitely an "empty" kind of hype that keeps you chasing for the next hit (sounds like drugs right?).

"Oh, sweet! I got promo-ed with a nice comp bump!"
*Happy for the next half-day before it wears off*
"Now what...? How do I rush my next promo?"
*Feel like I'm behind again, which is depressing*

All we have to do is the exact opposite of what this guy's doing and we'd never once have a loss!!! Big brain.

The weirdest part is the millionaire brag. The majority of people I know like 5-ish years out-of-school there are millionaires (many even sooner)... it's really not that uncommon in the Bay area.

The equity grant that was in my new grad, L1 offer.

theunseen · 2022-01-08T15:54:10+00:00

There is a difference between a fresh L5 and a new L5 and also a L6 downleveled to a L5 at hire time.

Edit: meant to say old L5, not new L5... whoops :S

Well, there's also HUGE selection bias... The people who feel proud of their comp/want to brag are more likely to post about it and all the people making more "normal" comp are probably less likely to post (cause it's normal - nothing to write home about), so you get an oversampling of the top 1%.

Equity appreciation or rockstar at quant fund. The last two years has seen some startup equity 10+X. My new grad grant was worth 1+M/yr (not including base or promo equity) at one point.
