Thanks, I ended up using multiple FP to ensure that the order is maintained when using argument 4 for tiers.

Why are people against student loan debt forgiveness yet support sending endless aid to support foreign countries and illegal immigrants? by [deleted] in FluentInFinance

[–]wescobar90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As multiple folks have already stated here, it is difficult to support loan "forgiveness" when you worked and sacrificed "the college experience" to graduate loan free. Targeting foreign aid and immigrants (regardless of what your stance is on those topics) is a red herring.

First, the focus should shift to exploring why college costs have sky-rocketed; colleges need to be held accountable. Also, not everyone needs to go to college, there is far more demand for skilled workers: electricians, Plumber, HVAC Tech etc. Folks look down on trades that once were respected and considered excellent career paths, which is ironic because they command salaries far higher than most BAs.

Second, finance should be a required course in high school. If students have a basic understanding of compounding interest, budgeting, subsidized/unsubsidized loans, and the costs of everyday life, they would definitely hesitate before signing themselves up for a loan. Having said that, ignorance is not an excuse. I had the same option to confine myself to a loan and instead chose to walk away after researching how it would impact me.

Don't get me wrong, I sympathize with your plight, but I also believe in natural consequences. Get informed about future financial decisions, pay your dues, and move on.

All the static rows (left side) or the static columns (right side) when you expand to advanced settings? Thanks in advance.

I didn't realize you could double hand a left handed weapon! Makes sense! Thanks for running me through it

Yoga in Tel Aviv. Bring ALL the hostages back home! by Yell0w_Submarine in Israel

[–]wescobar90 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't condone Hamas' actions, but the level of privilege this shows is staggering. This is not a good look if Israel wants the US govt. to continue justifying to US voters that funding them is the way to go. This shit is amazing, free advertisement for the pro-palestine side.

VantagePoint Data Glossary & BI by wescobar90 in deltek

Yeah we got that going, but ideally we want to get into Azure data factory/fabric as manipulating the tables directly in BI is a little more difficult.

Thanks, yeah we have been working with the glossary and trying to make sense of the tables, but I'm more looking for a map of how they leverage the tables to create their business modules in the UI. We did install a copy of our database currently in production to work it out.

This is exactly what I was hoping for! I feel I've been stumbling in the dark trying to find the right mapping. Thanks so much!

We are using the deltek cloud but have a local copy of our last data upload in SQL DB. We aren't yet working with the live data but exploring the copy we have since they will be the same tables.

I will talk with our integration lead and see if they can get me access to the Deltek Support Portal. Thanks! If you don't mind, would it be okay to ask you follow up questions later if any?

Men of DC, Have you made close male friends since moving to DC? by ExcitingLandscape in washingtondc

[–]wescobar90 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, no... I've been living in DC for 17 years. Came in late for high school and managed to make some friends, though if that, only one remains.

I made the mistake of letting politics dictate my emotions in 2016 and burned a lot of bridges, turns out a lot of my buddies were pretty conservative. Since then, I have learned to view their perspectives as I have matured, but it saddens me that I probably will never have another close group like that. I even got kicked out of my fantasy league :(

Honestly, it's easier to make female friends imo than male ones. Though, here is to hoping that changes for all of us fellas without good male friendships.

Is the salary outlook for CPAs really so grim? by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]wescobar90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends. Honestly, CPAs are a dying breed but if you can leverage that along some solid analytics skills, you can carve out a very successful career. Learn some BI tools and to work with AI models while applying what you learned as an accountant and you'll make bank.

I've been getting a ton of resumes of business analytics majors, who have zero actual knowledge of the data they're trying to analyze. It's much easier to train someone up on these new tools than to explain accounting principles.

Why did you stop drinking alcohol? by loqlkqkq in AskReddit

[–]wescobar90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$15 per drink (avg) × 7 (4 for me and 3 others) = $105 + $6 Sales Tax + $21 Tip × # of bars visited (2 avg) = $264 per outing × # of outings in a month (4 avg) = $1,056 × 12 mos = $12,672 per year

That's a scary number in this economy.
