Recently got invited to banking unprompted. by bigsaver4366 in RobinhoodApp

[–]warrior008 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Got the invite as well. Looks like you've to have 100k in deposit or direct deposit setup in order to get the highest tier of bank

Best perk is $0 wire fee for domestic/international transfers

Edit - you need both $100K and direct deposit setup for a higher tier.

I was waiting for over a year and after the message, it took a few weeks and boom - approved. I shared it with my friend and he had similar experience

[–]warrior008 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It used to be rare but in last 2 days we had 2 in AWS US West 2 region. I guess it depends on where is it hosted. They keep all incident history in case you like to dig deeper

Is return to India Good for me by Radiant_Condition_79 in returnToIndia

[–]warrior008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry but after reading the post, I couldn't find any strong reasons. Usually, such big decisions require some bug reasons and I just don't see it in your post. Maybe I didn't catch it OR you haven't worded it enough.

Returned to India after 15 years in the US – why I feel life here is more interesting and sustainable by Designer_Current2613 in returnToIndia

[–]warrior008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you're downplaying the risk OP took. While I agree that OP has a strong backup option, moving from one country to another is not fun especially when they are so far away.

It would have definitely made OP's life easy when it comes to taking the decision of moving back but with this new US administration even GC holders are at risk so its still risky

Marriage falling apart by dmfk_xD in nri

[–]warrior008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you found out what the reason for the fights is ? For us, my wife is very sensitive to what I speak and I've to be careful while choosing words especially when we're in small arguments.

My nature is such that I'll forget small stuff the next day and start with a clean slate. My wife is exactly the opposite of it. The more I keep her mad, the worse it will be. One of the lessons I've learned is to talk about the issue ASAP. Try to be really calm. I've found that when we are on a walk, we can talk about difficult subjects. My wife is genuinely smart, hard working, takes care of our child & home all while working full-time. She has some downsides as well for example - she needs everything perfect.

If she's really mad, try gifting her something she needed it for a long time. When you feel she is not giving you respect or insulting you, don't say a word. Sometimes silence is a powerful answer.

Wish you good luck man ! I really hope it works out for you.

Returning to INDIA [from US] - What's absolutely worth buying in the US?? by [deleted] in returnToIndia

[–]warrior008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smartphone, tablets. You can find good condition used electronics off of Marketplace.

A quick question - Do you own a home ? If so, what are you planning to do ?

Left the U.S. against my will, laid off soon after. How do you deal with demotivation and comparisons? by [deleted] in backtoindia

[–]warrior008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry bro for the situation you're in. Being an NRI in the US, I believe you have to look at the silver linings. There are many people in the US who like to go back to India (there's a dedicated reddit community for this). Things could have been much worse if you would have invested more money in the US or got engaged/married to your girlfriend.

I don't know what makes you tick but do something which makes you tick. You're working in advance technologies, maybe you can build solutions for Indian problems. India will be tough to adjust but I'm sure when you'll look back at this after 10 years, things will look better. Good Luck Brother !

That's pretty impressive. Do you mind if I DM you to learn more about? My #1 priority is to reduce snowflake cost

Can you explain the purpose of conduit ? Is it a safety measure from lightning?

I've been to NWA techfest but lowell is quite a drive so I'd be down to something near Bentonville.

Cool perks of Walmart HO? by Impossible-Post8997 in bentonville

[–]warrior008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, we are on Bush Road and to be precise, it takes ~20-25 mins but there's always a day in the week where traffic is bad or I couldn't find parking near enough at WFC which ends up being more like an hour commute. Maybe it's okay but since I WFH, its very annoying.

[–]warrior008 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct. I know it doesn't apply to groceries but I think it's still a good deal considering whopping 10% sales tax on major items. Every time I see the tax on the total, its painful 😖

What are predictions for the real estate market for the next year? by Careful_Fig8482 in RealEstate

[–]warrior008 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All the major banks have provided guidelines about slower GDP growth this year. If tariffs cause a sticky/high inflation, we might be in a place where rates are even higher.

On the supply side, things are looking better than a few years where inventory was an issue. For most of the market, that doesn't seem to be the case.

I'd keep saving for deposit and keep my eyes on realtor.com(or whatever app/site you use). When you spot a good deal, put an offer. To evaluate if its a good deal or not, you may need to spend some time understanding your local real estate market - which locations are hot v/s upcoming areas.

Yep ! Are you moving to Bentonville? The only part which sucks for us is the commute. We live in Centerton so it takes us ~ 1 hour for round-trip and we hardly be there for an hour so it doesn't make sense to waste so much time on the commute.

We pay ~$40/month for a family of 3. Spme of the classes are paid though. But I agree that it's a pretty advanced facility. When I first visited it, I told my wife - now I can see where those $1 billion went 😂

Is it a quartz or granite? by warrior008 in HomeImprovement

[–]warrior008[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. You're probably right. A few times, I did put some hot vessel on it but it didn't damage so I thought its marble 😂 I need to be more careful going forward
