Will I regret declining VP SWE offer?

Will I regret declining the offer? In the payments team, I have another offer- another offer is not as good (in terms of money) but it has much better WLB. Will I regret loosing almost $50K on the table?

Specially with 5 days a week in JPMC vs 3 days a week in other place (non banking). JPMC may have better tech but well it comes with a price.

What would you do?

Is it really that bad in JPMC like is it really too toxic and PIP culture?

Commuting to Pittsburgh from NJ

Hey guys, life happened and I got laid off from my current job but thankfully got another opportunity with PNC (Tech) but the problem is commuting to Pittsburgh. Is anyone in my situation who was able to make it work?

Or for PNC folks - how difficult is to work with your bosses to convince them to allow them to work from NYC/NJ office if they have any.

If I were to travel then what is the best arrangement? I’m thinking of doing may be 3 days a week Tuesday- Thursday. That means I have to stay somewhere in Pittsburg for those days. I can think of hotel but open for other options if you know about them.

For traveling - flight is the most reasonable option.

Anybody in my situation or have any insight?

Reason I cannot move is because my family is in NJ and wife and kids may not be able to move for atleast till early-mid next year.

Login not working. Service down?

Logged out of account. Service down or am I screwed?

Am I screwed?

So I had recruiter reach out to me for Zappos SDE -II position and then had recruiter call and then after that hiring manager call was scheduled (No OA).

I thought I did fine in LPs but did bad on technical half - technical stuff was not DSA but work related where I had to code. There I would rate myself as 5/10 as I missed some syntax’s.

It’s been 2 weeks, I didn’t get the response from anyone. Last week I had emailed HR but never got any response.

Now my question is that now I see there is another opening in ring and twitch. Should I apply or am I in cool off period. How to know? And how long is it he cooling period for failing this interview?

Mind you that I never applied on Amazon job website for Zappos’s so I technically don’t have Amazon job portal application status.

Question about Amazon round for SDE -II role

I had a recruiter call some time back and Today I see an email where it says that hiring manager has liked my profile and want to schedule a 60 min interview.

Now questions is that if it’s DSA round or more of LP and project round?

I’m curious as it’s 60 mins but also it says that engineering manager.

Anyone here went with this phase? What was the EM round like? Specially being the first round after recruiter call.

Question about J2 while on garden leave J1

Long time lurker but finally something is happening which I need expert guidance.

I have a J1 which I was a full time employee and laid me off few weeks back but still on the garden leave for next 3 weeks say June 12 but I got an offer (contract role) which they want me to start latest by May 29.

I told them my situation that I cannot be on payroll until June 12 else I will lose the severance so they are okay to let me start the onboarding process where my start date will still be May 29 but they told me to put 0 hours till June 12 and after June 13 onwards I can bill them 80 hours for unfilled 2 weeks.

Now my question is that still a breach of my current employer contract as I’m not billing till June 12.

Data point and cannot get better than this 14X paze plus $300 travel credit

I can confirm that I got 14X points by directly booking United flights through paze. (Not in Chase portal but directly with United). And deal could not get better as also received $300 travel credit which is the best part of CSR where I don’t have stick to their portal but any kind of travel expense count towards it.

People may have question about another United where I didn’t get 14X is because I had some travel credits so had to use it with United and unfortunately United doesn’t allow combining travel credits and paze - so had to split my booking. But it worked out very well.

Edit: I spoke too early - math is not adding up for 14X - I may have to wait till the points come out of pending to update the real calculation. I got excited just by seeing 14X also charge is not right - looking back at the tickets it seems I paid around $2119 for it so something is fishy. Will knee it posted.

So technically I should be getting 15000 (paze has cap of $1500) + 8478 (2119.5X4)

So it appears to be issue with calculation as I am over their capped 15000 amount- that amount itself is missing

Is there a glitch in how points acquired towards $50 bilt cash is calculated?

So I have around 81K points - out of which 50K is from SUB and around 6500 from Rakuten.

Now why am I still seeing around 7800 points more I need for $50 cash? Ideally it should have been only around 500 ish points as 81k-50k-6500 (Rakuten) = 24,500, so only 500 left to hit 25K.

So all these accelerators extra 1X or dining 5X don’t count towards their calculation?

I don’t have time to count one by one but based on my monthly spend which is around $5500 excluding $5800 mortgage seems like I must have acquired accelerator - around 5500 and then random dining bonuses around 1500-2000 which is close to that number of missing points around 7000 ish

Question about Amex gold closure - what happens to points?

* Business gold - cannot edit title anymore

So I have annual fee posted and statement got down Today - and now I have 30 days to close this gold as now I want to move to personal gold (unfortunately I won’t get sub because I already have personal plat). Now question about charges - as I will continue using my card for say next 25 days and then I close it (my statement date won’t hit) but what will happen to the points for the charges for next 25 days? Will I get 1 points per spend or will I get regular 4 X on top 2 categories as usual. Reason I’m asking because people who use business gold know that 4X you get only after statement gets closed. Anyone here closed their business gold and I will appreciate their data points on what happens to the points.

Additionally any pointers to get gold personal sub even having plat - a person can always be hopeful 😊

As Rakuten is offering $300 on BOA’s travel credit card. Why is it showing $0. Is it the same for everyone? I just applied last night.
