Is the plan to do this in regular intervals? If so, would be great if we could get a recurring entry for the calendar.

OP didn't specify whether that includes bonus or not. Regardless, for 2 YoE, this has to be a huge outlier. I'm inclined to think that this more an exception to the rule - I have a bunch of friends working in London finance tech,

This is an old article (22/2). Ever since, he has several times refused to back the EU on sanctions and instead adopted a very selfish/nationalist stance. He went as far as to declare Zelensky an opponent after winning the electio

Very helpful, thanks. In London, health insurance is normally provided by the company that you work for (at least all the companies I've worked for). And I can sign up my partner for an additional monthly fee as well. Is this not the c

Boxing training starts at a very young age, especially because parents/kids know the kind of money and fame a professional boxer can achieve. That being said, I take your point on it being part of the high school programs. Begs the que

It's interesting to see that this issue is rather controversial within the Rugby/NFL world, whereas other sports it's almost a given? Boxing, for example, has pretty damaging long-term side-effects with notable legends dying

The worst part about the UK (specifically London, not 100% sure about the rest), is that even when you buy a property (assuming it's a leasehold), then you're again at the mercy of the freeholder. Depending on your lease - you&#x2

Also recommend the book Mindfulness: Finding Peace in a Frantic World by Mark Williams (same author as the guardian article). It's more geared towards the Average Joe and coping with daily stress. One line that stuck with me is: "

Personally, I'd like to see regulation being imposed on this. I'm an engineer with an IT background, and I can confidently say that most (if not all) of my friends who do not come from the same background have no idea what dark pa
