Is this salary expectation for a commercial underwriter in India reasonable? Hey everyone, I'm evaluating a candidate for a **commercial underwriting role** based in India for a US-based financial services firm. The candidate has mentioned that their **current annual compensation is $47,700 USD (assuming an exchange rate of 85 INR/USD)** and that they are expecting a **20% increase in a month**, which would take them to **around $57,000 USD per year**. This number seems **very high** compared to what I've seen for similar roles in India. From what I understand, even top-tier banks and financial institutions in India don’t typically... 3 0 replies

Nobel Economist Labels Bitcoin “A Financial Black Hole” " Eugene F. Fama, a Nobel Prize-winning economist, sees zero value in Bitcoin, calling it nothing but an empty vacuum. Appearing on the Capitalis’t podcast, Eugene Fama delivered his verdict: Bitcoin is doomed. While the crypto world has heard plenty of these eulogies before, Bitcoin continues to defy the odds. Fama ridiculed the idea of a blockchain-based financial system, likening it to boiling soup over a fire made from plastic bottles—expensive, inefficient, and environmentally reckless. He sees Bitcoin as a wild card in monetary theory, unpredictable and undeserving of... 3 4 replies

Known issue: Pages unable to rename or save to drive Since updating Sequoia (now 15.3), I cannot open a blank document in Pages 14.3, retitle it and save it to desktop or icloud documents -- as I have done multiple times a day forever. It took Larry, the fourth Mac senior advisor, to tell me that this is a known issue and no, it will not help to create test users or update the OS. All we can do is wait until they update Pages. Until then, all docs must be saved by selecting file and Save as. I'm... 3 0 replies
Beginner to trading I wouldn’t even say beginner. I don’t know anything about trading, but it’s the only thing that interests me when it comes to working and making money.

How the actual hell do I start in this hobby if I can’t even find the starting point? I’ll graciously take any advice because it’s desperately... 4 0 replies

The true number of tech layoffs since 2022 is likely over 1 million—double what’s officially reported.

Got a "new" number from Vi, but it's full of problems—what do I do? **Got a "new" number from Vi, but it's full of problems—what do I do?** So I recently got a **supposedly "new" number** from Vi, but turns out, it’s **not so new after all**.

I emailed Vi about this, and their response? **"Just block them or explain that the number no longer belongs to that person."** Bruh, I... 1 1 replies

My two cents on the ongoing latent saga Having little to no knowledge about the reach of the show, while having an argument with a friend, I searched for Samay's channel and was left shocked to my core. 40 million views on one of the latent videos! We today are speaking of how the bigger crimes are being brushed under the carpet and how the perpetrators of it roam freely. And then we slyly defend such content and its creators by creating parallels, in the name of humour and freedom. I do not care where it came... 5 1 replies
