This whole article could really use input from someone who does executive comp work. Based on my quick Googling it looks like their first year pay packages are pretty close. And I wonder how much of his final year package, which is serving as the basis for this comparison, was an uptick from the exercise of some…

I like Vanguard's retail brokerage services. 401K plans can just be sort of difficult to administer all around, so you hear of many more issues in that area.
That does suck, I'm sorry.
It seems like it can be a very fine line. People generally raved about the Spring 2013 Marchesa collection that was inspired by Indian fabrics and silhouettes and was received with broad praise, especially on Desi fashion blogs. There seemed to be a strong element of "this product was really well done, and therefore…
You should absolutely not be looking at hedge funds. They're generally restricted to high net worth investors, but in any event aren't for someone without significant financial literacy.
I've worked with tons in the legal, tax, and, of course, investor relations functions. But very, very few who were making the actual investment decisions. From what I've seen though, the bigger firms seem to be better about retaining and promoting their female staff. The smaller shops were often the worst about…
I generally agree. But having grown up in a very rural area where police response times were notoriously long, I think there are a lot of people who would feel that it's totally reasonable to arm themselves and then go check on a disturbance. And then it all comes down to how reasonably you respond to whatever it is…
The trend hasn't hit NYC or DC yet in the U.S. That's unfortunate to hear, they're really amazing jackets.
I'll second the SmartWool recommendation and add to the merino wool options: DeFeet, IceBreaker, and Ibex.
That's a common misconception re: Canadian law. The law is much the same as in the U.S. and you don't have the ability to compel anyone to delete their images.
She probably meant she can't get refunded by the publisher for the stolen merch. It's common with periodical publications to have the store owner pay for the inventory up front, but then get credited back for any unsold copies. To prove the number of unsold copies you typically have to tear off the covers and mail…
That's a great price for a badger brush too! While we're on the subject, I'd like to throw out endorsements for:
My wife started stealing my safety razor, badger brush and shave soap. They're much, much cheaper than the latest multi-blade razors and shave gel. And, since you can afford to change blades every shave or so, much better at getting a smooth, close shave.
Prominently displayed on the bookshelves in her husband's office for decades. His office was practically a shrine to her.
NC has a very weird breed of "Blue-Dog Democrat" that are basically Republican-lite. See e.g., my grandmother, who didn't vote a straight-party Democrat ballot for the first time in 80 years, in order to vote for Romney.
I'm curious what year associate you are? There was definitely stuff that I put up with as a junior and even mid-level that eventually wore me down and drove me insane as a senior. Especially when the partner starts releasing your juniors and double-effing your night/weekend.
Exactly. I came here to point out that this is equally an issue for (a) single men, (b) married childless men, and (c) married men with families, whose partners are assumed to be doing the heavy lifting wrt children.
In DC there's a guy who trucks cases down from the Philly distributors and resells them marked up by ~20%. So I guess I shouldn't complain about not being able to find it, but about not being able to afford it... :-( A Pliny will go for ~$15 here versus the $5.00 it costs for a pint on draft at their brewpub.
Getting ANY Russian River on the east coast is next to impossible. If you find anything it's marked WAY up and grey-market. But I was just out in San Francisco and it wasn't much easier to find out there! Who's getting their stuff?
