Best Buy has a 60th year deal for switch to it looks like you get $75 trade-in value for your switch one with an additional $75 to put towards a Switch 2, totaling $150 off. So you'd be spending minimum $340 (roughly with taxes). Seems like a pretty sweet deal!

You can also trade in a different device for no more than $130 it looks like.

Edit: from user @loopOutnotIn ... Just keep in mind Best Buy will not let you take the switch 2 to do a console migration before trade in

Check with your local Best Buy if they allow migration or not!!!

Probably not the best sub to ask but...

I already have the animal crossing version of the switch one, but I've been eyeing the switch 2. The only issue is that I don't play my switch one much since I've gotten it.

I've only played animal Crossing, which probably lasted 4 to 6 months of gameplay before I put it down and then I did not touch it for a few years. Maybe one gameplay here and there. This year, I recently picked it back up (playing 2-3x a month) and started playing Tomodachi, which I've already stopped playing that after a week or two, but I bought a few new games to help me get back into gaming.

I would like the switch 2 because I want the screen real estate. I'm thinking maybe I should wait for the switch 2 lite since I already have a switch.

I feel like I can't justify spending $500 for a console I may not play often.

I did recently buy hogwarts (for switch 1) but believe I have a 15 day return window if I decide to get the switch 2. I also bought the game Lake, a new bratz game, and would like to play mixtape which is exclusive to Switch 2. I don't think I can justify spending $500 just to play one game, that I may not even like.

I don't mind waiting 2-3 years for the next console release. I am slightly worried about the battery life on the switch 2. So that is a small deterrent for me, but I also wouldn't mind getting an OLED version, but I know that would be even more expensive.

I currently have a switch one and I'm wanting bigger real estate/ screen to play. I'm in an extremely casual gamer sometimes I will go months without playing my switch in the past. I've gone at least a year without playing (lol I know). This is why I'm considering upgrading from the switch one to OLED instead of spending $500 on the switch 2. I can't justify spending that much on a system I probably won't play. I do like how it looks and I am open to waiting for another variation to come out in the next few years.

Edit: I would buy a used oled for like $250

Looking for different options and so far I could use the hotspot on my phone, a travel route, or mobile hotspot with my phone company.

Would love to hear different options and opinions of what yall are using. I'll mainly be near wifi but you also never know do its a better safe than sorry kind of thing.

In the US and planning on traveling nationwide with only one out the country trip but considering just taking PTO that trip.

Looking for a fun life sim game that lets you live like in a university or young adult setting I guess. An everyday life game where you date, making choices, have a career, etc.

The same vibe as early 00's chick flicks I guess you would say. I heard of a game called growing up but I've never played it. I have an iPad, computer, ps and switch. Preference for iPad and switch games but don't mind others if it gives what I'm looking for. I'm not sure how else to describe what I'm looking for haha

I liked monster prom on the switch but less monster focused and more of an open world maybe. I'm still open to that style of game.

I recently accepted a job offer because I didn’t want to risk losing it while waiting to hear back from another company. The company whose offer I accepted is actually my preferred choice.

One thing that may be relevant: I already negotiated with them before accepting and was able to increase the offer by a little over $8,000 from their initial offer. After that increase, I accepted.

I’m still waiting to hear back from another company and think there’s a reasonable chance they may make an offer. If they do, and the compensation is significantly higher, I’d like to understand my options.

My questions are:
- Is it appropriate to go back to a company after accepting an offer and ask whether there’s any additional flexibility in compensation if I receive a stronger competing offer?
- Does the fact that they already increased my offer by $8,000 make that conversation inappropriate or a bad look?
- If you’re a recruiter or hiring manager, how would you react if a candidate accepted an offer, then came back before their start date because they received a competing offer?
- Would you advise just sticking with the accepted offer unless the new offer is substantially higher?

For context, I haven’t started yet. I’m not trying to play companies against each other. I genuinely prefer the company whose offer I accepted, but I also want to make the best long-term career and financial decision.

I’d appreciate any advice from recruiters, hiring managers, or anyone who’s been in a similar situation.

Yay! I was offered a job! The only issue is that they offered me bottom of the range. What I interpreted from the conversation was basically since I didn't give my salary expectations this is what they offered. However, my skills align well with the job. I have 3+ years of experience with already am being advanced in the main software being used. The range was 60K-100K for reference. In every interview with the whole team, everyone said that I'm already doing what I would be doing with them basically.

I know I have the skills to back up at least mis range. How do I frame it as "I'm worth the 20k bump up?" The originally posting called for experience to be 0-2 years in insights, which I have more than that.

Any help? I've looked up salary ranges for this position and 60K is well below market especially for my area. They're in health tech and they're mid-large company.

I just need to know what to say.

Ideally I would want 86K but that doesn't seem realistic. In an intial phone call, the recruiter briefly stated that their target was 60-70k so I'm thinking I can get away with 75K MAYBE. 86K would be the dream, if I can convince 80K that'd be awesome, but feel like I should shoot for 70K?

Trying to reverse-engineer my job search salary requirements. I’m single, no dependents, filing single, living in Texas (no state income tax 🙏). What gross annual salary would I need to actually net $5,000/month after federal taxes, Social Security, and Medicare?

I typically max out 401K at 5%.

Or if you know an accurate calculator to use?

I'm interviewing for an entry level research role at a mid-to-large healthcare tech company (requires data analysis but specific software knowledge, compelling data storytelling, etc.). During the initial recruiter screening, she told me the salary range was capped at $70K. I agreed in the moment.

I just made it to the final round and the recruiter emailed asking me to confirm my compensation expectations before the final interviews. I went back and looked at the job posting and the listed range is actually $60K-$100K – significantly higher than what she told me.

I want to negotiate but I don’t want to blow up the opportunity this close to the finish line. A few questions:

1.	Am I locked in to the $70K cap I verbally agreed to in the screening call?        
2.	Should I address the discrepancy between the posted range and what she told me now, or wait until I have an offer in hand?        
3.	What’s a reasonable number to give her right now to keep the conversation moving without anchoring too low?

For context I have 3+ years of directly relevant experience, a master’s degree, and the role is remote.

TL;DR: Recruiter verbally capped salary at $70K during screening. Posted range goes up to $100K. Made it to finals. Recruiter is asking for my compensation. Do I push back now or wait for the offer? What do I say now?

Edit: I didn't realize this post would get this much traction. I'm not expecting the 100k everyone. I mentioned multiple times in the comments that I'd like my take home pay to be at least $5k. I also don't want to settle for a lower amount. Ideally, I'd want to shoot for $85k. The goal was to answer the recruiter's question without lowballing myself or showing my cards first in the case that they'd give me more than $70K now that they know more about my skills. Also, my masters degree aligns well within the role. I understand that my yoe is on a fine line between entry and mid. The company is a growing health tech company. They asked for my expectation, I'm not in the negotiations phase yet.

I have a 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport SUV with 103K miles. I just got it paid it paid off like a year or two ago and been enjoying not having a car payment. I went to AutoZone for a test and it said I need my converter and gasket replaced. Some converters were $2K but I did see a universal one for $200. Is it worth replacing? I think gaskets are pretty cheap so that's no concern. Just wondering how to go about it and if I can drive on the highway about 4 hours away.

I'm a woman in my late 20s so I'm hitting auntie age. I went to go get food from a Jamaican food truck in the US and The cashier was probably about maybe 23 to mid 20s. He was a little flirty and I slightly entertained it. Once he gave me the food he said "here goes the food for the mm mm." There was another woman with him probably close to his age and corrected him by saying "no, for the lady." He repeated himself and she corrected him again then told me that I don't wanna know what he was saying so what was he saying? I have an idea but I just wanna confirm it because I left without asking.
